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.

Upwey - Tecoma has an estimated 9,883 residents, up from 9,777 at the 2021 Census — a change of 106 people, or 1.1%. That puts 1,112 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Upwey - Tecoma stands at approximately 9,883 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 106 people (1.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,777 residents. This population shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 9,867 in June 2025 alongside 19 validated new addresses identified since the Census. The resulting population density reaches 1,111 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with the typical averages across areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The post-census growth rate of 1.1% in Upwey - Tecoma is within 2.4 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (3.5%), showing competitive local demand.
The primary driver of these gains was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 53.5% of the total population increase recently. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as the baseline) are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. Where such data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset, adapted via a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 level. Growth rates by age group from these models are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Over this timeframe, the model forecasts a demographic contraction, with the overall population of the area expected to shrink by 234 persons by 2041. Despite this overall reduction, expansion is projected in certain age cohorts, most notably the 75 to 84 age group, which is anticipated to add 291 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
52 new dwellings have been approved in Upwey - Tecoma over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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
Approximately 10 new residential builds receive approval each year in Upwey - Tecoma, summing to 52 dwellings over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 11 recorded approvals. Given the demographic decline in the region, this pace of new supply has likely kept up with demand to provide sufficient options for buyers, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $379,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals worth $697,000 have been logged during the current financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. In comparison to Greater Melbourne, property development in Upwey - Tecoma is highly limited, falling 73.0% below the regional average per capita.
This low rate of new construction typically helps sustain demand and prices for pre-existing houses. The rate is also below the national standard, pointing to the mature nature of the area and indicating possible planning restrictions. Detached houses account for 88.0% of the new structures, with attached dwellings making up the remaining 12.0%, which maintains the suburban feel and appeals to buyers looking for larger blocks. A ratio of 1409 people per single dwelling approval highlights a highly established market. Given that future demographic forecasts indicate stable or shrinking numbers, housing demand pressures in Upwey - Tecoma are expected to ease, which should prove advantageous for prospective home buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Angliss Hospital Expansion
A $112 million major redevelopment featuring a new four-storey, all-electric tower. The expansion delivers a 32-bed inpatient unit, four state-of-the-art operating theatres, a new central sterile supply department, and expanded outpatient and allied health services. Major structural works were completed in July 2025, and the project is currently in the fit-out and final construction phase to increase surgical capacity for the Knox and Yarra Ranges communities.
Six Senses Resort And Spa At Burnham Beeches
$100-million transformed Burnham Beeches into Australia's first Six Senses resort, offering 43-room hotel, wellness retreat, restaurant, bar, and 39 luxury glamping spots for a total of 82 accommodations.
Kings Park Masterplan
Knox City Council's long-term master plan to upgrade Kings Park, a key sporting and recreation precinct. Stage 1 delivers a fully fenced dog park featuring two distinct off-leash zones, sealed path circuits, picnic seating, drinking fountains, and site drainage improvements. Future stages for parkland enhancement remain subject to council planning and annual capital works budgeting.
Dorset Road Extension
Proposed 3km southern extension of Dorset Road from its current terminus at Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully, through the long-standing road reservation to Napoleon Road and on to Lysterfield Road. The preferred option identified in the business case is a four-lane divided arterial with new and upgraded signalised intersections, a new bridge over Corhanwarrabul Creek, bus priority infrastructure and separated walking and cycling paths. The extension would close a major north-south gap in the Knox road network, where connectivity between Ferntree Gully and the Lysterfield and Rowville areas currently relies on discontinuous secondary routes, pushing traffic onto residential streets and contributing to above-average crash rates.Major Road Projects Victoria completed planning, traffic modelling, social and environmental investigations on behalf of the Australian Government, and business cases for the extension and the companion Napoleon Road Upgrade were finalised in early 2022. Infrastructure Australia's evaluation returned a benefit-cost ratio of 0.64 and a net present value of negative 117.4 million dollars, and the proposal was not added to the Infrastructure Priority List as investment-ready. The Australian Government withdrew its funding commitment in the October 2022-23 Budget and the project remains unfunded. Knox City Council continues to advocate for delivery, and the completed planning work means the corridor could be revived quickly if funding is restored. Construction was previously estimated to support around 627 direct jobs and roughly 1,552 flow-on jobs.
Bluett Reserve Playground Upgrade
As part of the 2025-26 capital works program, Knox City Council is investing in the renewal of local playgrounds, including the one at Bluett Reserve in Ferntree Gully. The project aims to improve the recreational facilities for the local community.
Ferntree Gully Village Creative Placemaking Plan
Community-driven arts and cultural development project transforming public spaces in Ferntree Gully Village through murals, sculptures, lightbox galleries, and parklet upgrades to enhance safety, community connection, and local pride.
Woolworths Ferntree Gully eCommerce Expansion
A comprehensive 14-week upgrade project to enhance the store's direct-to-boot operations and eCommerce capabilities. The initiative focused on expanding store facilities and improving click-and-collect services through major store extension, civil works, installation of new precast panels, structural steel frameworks, a new canopy, and significant refrigeration and cool room works. All construction was executed within a live trading environment to minimize disruption to daily store operations.
13 Mountain Gate Drive Townhouses
A residential development featuring three 2-bedroom townhouses, each spanning two storeys, designed for modern and spacious living. Located in Ferntree Gully within the City of Knox. The development application has been submitted with estimated completion in mid-2026.
5,786 residents of Upwey - Tecoma are employed, from a labour force of 5,984. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 74.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,783, 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
Upwey - Tecoma features a highly educated population with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 3.3%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.4% over the previous year. As of March 2026, 5,786 residents are employed, and the local unemployment rate sits at 1.5% below the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, while workforce participation remains relatively typical at 74.1% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%. Census data indicates that a large proportion of 33.3% of residents work from home, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The community displays a strong concentration in education & training, which accounts for 1.4 times the regional proportion of jobs. Conversely, the finance & insurance sector is less prominent, employing 2.5% of the local workforce compared to 4.9% across the region. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are limited in this mostly residential area. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 1.4% and the labor force grew by 1.8%, which led to a 0.4 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same period in Greater Melbourne, employment increased by 2.1%, the labor force expanded by 2.3%, and unemployment went up by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide context on potential future demand patterns for Upwey - Tecoma. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce mix to estimate trends. Although nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion rates vary widely by sector. Applying these national industry trends directly to the local employment structure suggests that employment in Upwey - Tecoma could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years.

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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,777 at the 2021 Census → 9,883 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (211051284). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
