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.

Templestowe Lower has an estimated 14,792 residents, up from 14,191 at the 2021 Census — a change of 601 people, or 4.2%. 168 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 2,490 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to research from AreaSearch, the resident count of Templestowe Lower stands at approximately 14,792 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 601 people (4.2%) compared to the 14,191 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such growth is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 14,695 recorded in June 2025 alongside 168 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. With 2,490 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density places it within the top quartile among all nationally evaluated territories by AreaSearch. Inbound international migration served as the core catalyst for demographic expansion, representing virtually all population increases in recent times.
Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as a baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 regions. In locations omitted from those figures, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA datasets are incorporated, applying weighted population aggregation methods from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. These aggregated age-specific growth distributions are further integrated across all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic trajectories suggest growth will track slightly under the Australian statistical area median, expanding by 1,355 persons up to 2041 according to recent annual ERP statistics, which equals an overall rise of 8.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
375 new dwellings have been approved in Templestowe Lower over the past five years, an average of 75 a year. That is 5.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 75 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Templestowe Lower have averaged roughly 75 dwellings annually, reaching 375 homes throughout the last 5 financial years. With an influx averaging merely 0.3 new residents annually per completed dwelling across the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), additions to housing stock match or outpace local requirements, expanding consumer options while accommodating the possibility of higher-than-expected population growth. Furthermore, mean building values stand at $682,000 per residence, indicating that developers are prioritizing upmarket, high-specification residential offerings. Commercial construction permits valued at $7.6 million were also recorded during the current financial year, underlining that the suburb remains overwhelmingly dedicated to residential use.
Per capita residential development in Templestowe Lower aligns closely with the Greater Melbourne benchmark, preserving steady balance across the broader property sector. Among recent building approvals, detached houses represent 36.0% while medium- and high-density attached options account for 64.0%. This tilt toward denser living formats provides more accessible price points for purchasers, attracting investors, first-time buyers, and downsizers alike. Representing a clear shift from the historical local stock (where detached houses comprise 81.0%), this trend highlights shrinking greenfield sites alongside shifting community lifestyles and affordability considerations. Generating around one approval for every 245 people, Templestowe Lower retains low-density characteristics. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, future population projections indicate an addition of 1,258 residents across Templestowe Lower leading up to 2041. Ongoing building activity is expected to sufficiently satisfy this upcoming residential requirement, maintaining a welcoming environment for purchasers and potentially facilitating growth ahead of baseline expectations.

7,325 residents of Templestowe Lower are employed, from a labour force of 7,689. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 61.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,789, about 86% 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
Templestowe Lower boasts a well-educated labor pool where professional services hold a prominent share, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.7% and an estimated employment growth of 2.2% during the previous year. By March 2026, the number of working residents stood at 7,325, with the local unemployment rate matching Greater Melbourne’s 4.8%, yet workforce participation remains notably lower at 61.8% versus Greater Melbourne’s 70.1%. Census data indicates that 37.8% of residents worked from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting these figures. Local workers are predominantly active across the health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade sectors.
In contrast, manufacturing captures a smaller share of the workforce at 4.9%, tracking below the broader regional standard of 7.2%. Given the disparity between the resident headcount and the Census working population count, this largely residential community provides relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. According to an AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures, the period leading up to March 2026 saw a 2.2% rise in employment and a 2.6% expansion of the labour force, which together led to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This trend differs from that observed in Greater Melbourne, where employment grew by 2.1%, the labour force expanded by 2.3%, and unemployment increased by 0.2 percentage points. The national employment outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia for Mar-26 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in Templestowe Lower. These forecasts, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to project future growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these sectoral projections are applied to the employment composition of Templestowe Lower, local employment is estimated to rise by 7.0% over five years and by 14.1% over ten years. This calculation represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population forecasts.

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 — 168 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,191 at the 2021 Census → 14,792 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 Aug 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (207021160). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
