This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
Based on analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Mildura - South is approximately 16,753 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 345 residents (2.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 16,408 people. This shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 16,708 in June 2025 alongside 610 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 328 persons per square kilometer, offering ample personal space and opportunities for future development. The 2.1% population growth in Mildura - South since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (-1.0%) and the SA3 area, establishing it as a regional growth leader.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for roughly 54.9% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch employs projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline for each SA2. For locations where this data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, adjusted via weighted aggregation of growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the period from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts point to substantial growth that places the area in the top national regional quartile, with an expected increase of 4,415 people by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP, translating to a 26.1% overall rise over 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
610 new dwellings have been approved in Mildura - South over the past five years, an average of 122 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail
Mildura - South averages approximately 122 residential building approvals annually, which sums to 610 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26169 approvals have been logged. The ratio of population growth to new housing shows only 0.5 people moving to the area per completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, meaning supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand. This provides purchasers with more choice and supports population expansion that may outstrip current projections, with new homes built at a mean cost of $291,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $38.1 million have been recorded this financial year, pointing to strong local business investment.
Compared to the Rest of Vic., Mildura - South shows a relatively high level of residential construction, running 44.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which balances options for buyers while sustaining existing property values. Recent residential building activity consists of 92.0% standalone houses and 8.0% multi-unit dwellings, maintaining a low-density profile suited for buyers seeking extra space. The metric of 153 people per approved dwelling highlights the low-density character of Mildura - South. Projections indicate that Mildura - South will add 4,369 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Home building is progressing at a steady rate relative to the projected population growth, though home buyers may face increased competition as the number of residents rises.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Mildura South Neighbourhood Activity Centre
Approved $150 million mixed-use neighbourhood activity centre comprising four distinct precincts: commercial (supermarket, specialty shops, health services, hospitality), residential (medium density housing), community (hub, childcare, recreation facilities) and village green (public open space, community garden). The 8-hectare development will serve up to 10,000 residents in the growing Mildura South corridor over the next 10 years.
Hawthorn Ridge Development Plan
The Hawthorn Ridge Development Plan provides a long-term strategic framework for the future subdivision of land bordered by McEdward Street, the Mildura railway line, and Lake Hawthorn. It designates the area for low density residential development with a 0.4 hectare minimum lot size, prioritizing environmental conservation and community access to adjoining recreational reserves.
Riverside Ridge Mildura Subdivision
Residential subdivision delivering modern housing lots with river-adjacent amenity, landscaped open space and local park access. Civil design and supervision by MH2 Engineering and Architecture, with development by Fisher Developments.
Mildura Sporting Precinct
A multi-stage project delivering a regional home for sport and events in Mildura. Stage 1 opened in July 2021 with a six-court indoor stadium, AFL-standard oval, change rooms and event spaces. Stage 2, officially opened in May 2024, added a second oval with lighting, four indoor squash courts, four outdoor netball/volleyball courts, expanded seating including a 500-seat retractable grandstand, additional change rooms and administration hub.
Deakin Avenue Large Format Retail Development
Architect-designed large format retail complex featuring four premium retail outlets totaling 3,115 sqm. Located adjacent to Aldi and diagonally opposite Mildura Central Shopping Centre in the busy Fifteenth Street precinct. The development includes ample customer parking with shade sails, suspended ceilings and lighting, rear access via roller doors, air conditioning throughout, and self-contained amenities. Major tenants include 4WD Supacentre (933 sqm) and Sydney Tools (1,558 sqm combined tenancies).
Mildura Airport Terminal Expansion
Proposed expansion and refresh of the passenger terminal at Mildura Airport, Victoria's busiest regional airport. The upgrade is one of roughly ten key projects identified in the airport's Master Plan (released in draft in 2024 and adopted as the Master Plan 2025), which sets out three land use precincts across the airport estate and plans for growth toward about 450,000 annual passengers by the mid 2040s. Concept scope covers additional security screening capacity, a larger departures lounge and gate area, improved amenities and accessibility, and expanded retail and food and beverage offerings, alongside a broader precinct refresh that also contemplates on-airport accommodation.The airport is operated by Mildura Airport Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mildura Rural City Council that has run the airport independently since 2008. Mildura Airport Pty Ltd's 2024-25 Annual Report shows the terminal project remains an unfunded master plan initiative: capital effort in that period focused on planning and design to reset the life of the main runway, supported by about $1.96 million awarded under the Commonwealth Regional Airports Program in early 2025, plus completion of a new public viewing deck. Passenger volumes have softened, with roughly 189,800 passengers in the year to June 2025 against 209,300 in calendar 2024, and Qantas and Rex remain the two scheduled carriers on the Melbourne and Sydney routes. No construction funding package, detailed design, tender or approval has been announced for the terminal works, so no delivery timeline is confirmed.
Sunraysia Modernisation Project 2
Building on the success of the $120 million Sunraysia Modernisation Project, SMP2 utilized existing infrastructure and capacity to create opportunities for the Merbein and Red Cliffs irrigation districts. The project supplied additional water and unlocked 2,000 hectares of additional land for irrigation, ensuring these districts can meet the needs of modern horticulture and remain viable into the future. Construction began in March 2019 and was completed in October 2019, one month ahead of schedule, ready for the 2019/20 irrigation season.The project improved resilience and crop diversification while benefiting existing irrigation customers through cost-efficiency and improved business sustainability.
Mildura Riverfront Redevelopment - Stage 2
The Mildura Riverfront Redevelopment Stage 2 focuses on the revitalisation of the Powerhouse Precinct. This major project involves the transformation of the historic Powerhouse building into a multi-use cultural and commercial hub, the creation of a new bespoke playground, a bitumen pump track, and extensive landscaping. The goal is to strengthen the connection between the Mildura CBD and the riverfront, enhancing the area as a key tourism and community destination.
8,092 residents of Mildura - South are employed, from a labour force of 8,281. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 61.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,773, about 88% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Mildura - South has a qualified workforce with a strong presence in key service industries, and an unemployment rate of only 2.3%. Working residents numbered 8,092 in March 2026, with unemployment sitting 1.4% lower than the Regional Vic. rate of 3.7%, while participation in the labour force matches the Regional Vic. average of 61.1%. According to the Census, a minor share of 8.8% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The local workforce is heavily employed in healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and agriculture, forestry & fishing.
Conversely, the construction sector accounts for a relatively small share of employment at 7.2%, compared to 10.4% across the region. A comparison between the count of working residents and local jobs suggests the area has a restricted local employment market. AreaSearch examined SALM and ABS figures to show that between the year ending March 2026, the labour force shrank by 3.6% while employment dropped by 2.2%, which caused the unemployment rate to decline by 1.3 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Vic. saw employment dip by 0.1%, the labour force reduce by 0.3%, and unemployment decrease by 0.2 percentage points. Insights from Jobs and Skills Australia's employment forecasts dated May-25 help anticipate future demand in Mildura - South. By aligning these five and ten-year projections with the local employment structure, one can estimate growth trends. The national outlook projects a 6.6% rise in employment over five years and a 13.7% increase over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Mildura - South's job composition, local employment is expected to grow by 6.2% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 610 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,408 at the 2021 Census → 16,753 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
