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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Noble Park - East stands at approximately 14,020 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,281 people (10.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 12,739 residents. This population shift is calculated using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 13,935 combined with 167 validated new addresses identified since the Census. The area has a population density of 3,718 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the top quartile of all locations evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch. The local population expansion of 10.1% since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (7.0%) and the state, positioning it as a regional growth leader.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for roughly 87.0% of the overall population increases during recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as their baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch utilizes the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation methodology to translate growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age cohort growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied to all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts point to above-median population expansion for this locality relative to other Australian statistical areas, with a projected increase of 2,504 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 17.2% over a 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
246 new dwellings have been approved in Noble Park - East over the past five years, an average of 49 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 20% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 48, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
On average, Noble Park - East registers approximately 49 residential development approvals annually, totaling 246 approved homes over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 44 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the local market maintained a stable balance between supply and demand with an average of 1.3 new residents per year arriving per approved home, though this ratio rose sharply to 8.5 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, indicating intensifying demand and a potential supply deficit.
Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $272,000, which is below the regional benchmark and points to more budget-friendly construction options. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $23.7 million have been logged in the current financial year, demonstrating ongoing commercial investment. Noble Park - East records a per capita construction rate similar to Greater Melbourne, keeping the local building pace in line with the wider metropolitan region. Of the recently approved dwellings, 20.0% are detached houses, while 80.0% consist of townhouses or apartments. This preference for medium and high-density formats provides more accessible price points for buyers and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the established housing landscape, where detached houses currently comprise 56.0% of properties, indicating a decrease in available development land and reflecting changing lifestyles and affordability constraints. The market is highly established, averaging 433 people per dwelling approval. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Noble Park - East is projected to add 2,419 residents by 2041. Should building rates remain at current levels, housing construction may fall behind population growth, which could increase home buyer competition and put upward pressure on property prices.

Liege Avenue Childcare Centre
Proposed two-storey childcare centre for up to 40 children in three rooms, with a nine-space car park at the rear, staff room, kitchen, reception, toilets, laundry, and an elevated outdoor play area. The existing three-bedroom house on site was to be demolished. On 26 March 2026, VCAT refused a permit for the project, affirming Greater Dandenong Council's original refusal on neighbourhood character grounds, citing the design and landscape response as unacceptable given the site's largely single-storey residential setting next to Yarraman Oaks Primary School.VCAT found no in-principle objection to the childcare use or two-storey scale itself. The project is not proceeding under its current design and would require a substantially revised application to advance.

7,353 residents of Noble Park - East are employed, from a labour force of 7,889. Unemployment sits at 6.8%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,016, about 79% 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
The employment landscape in Noble Park - East is characterized by a highly educated population and a strong presence in manufacturing and industrial industries. The area recorded an unemployment rate of 6.8% alongside an estimated employment growth of 3.3% during the previous year. As of March 2026, there were 7,353 residents employed, yet the local unemployment rate stood at 2.0% higher than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. Workforce participation in Noble Park - East reached 66.4%, which is slightly lower than the Greater Melbourne figure of 70.2%. Census data indicates that 15.9% of residents worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdown measures should be taken into account when interpreting this statistic.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The neighborhood exhibits a strong specialization in manufacturing, with a employment share that is 2.0 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 6.1% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 10.1%. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that this predominantly residential locality offers relatively few local jobs. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data shows that over the 12-month period, local employment grew by 3.3% while the labour force expanded by 4.3%, leading to a 0.9 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends for Noble Park - East. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by industry. Applying these industry-specific rates directly to the local employment distribution suggests Noble Park - East's employment should grow by 6.0% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 167 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,739 at the 2021 Census → 14,020 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.
