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.

Sales Detail
Wandin - Seville has an estimated 7,998 residents, up from 7,902 at the 2021 Census — a change of 96 people, or 1.2%. Density is about 72 people per 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
As of Aug 2026, demographic analysis from AreaSearch indicates that Wandin - Seville has a resident count of approximately 7,998. This represents an expansion of 96 people (1.2%) compared to the 7,902 people recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment draws upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 7,996 recorded in June 2025 alongside 43 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With a density of 71 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial living space alongside capacity for prospective expansion. The locality's 1.2% growth rate since census trails the broader SA3 area (3.6%) by 2.4 percentage points, highlighting viable expansion dynamics.
Natural increases served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 72.1% of recent population additions. Demographic projections for each SA2 region are drawn from ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets published in 2024 using 2022 as their base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch applies the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusting figures through a weighted aggregation methodology that scales LGA expansion to the SA2 level. These aggregated age-group growth percentages are further projected across all regions from 2032 to 2041. Based on anticipated structural changes, the district is projected to experience population expansion slightly beneath the national median, increasing by 437 persons to 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, which constitutes an overall rise of 5.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
65 new dwellings have been approved in Wandin - Seville over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning permissions across Wandin - Seville average roughly 13 dwellings per annum, amounting to 65 homes over the previous 5 financial years. Because the resident base contracted in the prior interval, building activity has maintained equilibrium with local requirement, fostering a balanced landscape with ample choice for purchasers, with newly approved homes carrying an average construction value of $603,000—exceeding regional benchmarks—indicating a focus on premium builds. Concurrently, commercial building approvals reached $7.5 million this financial year, underlining the predominant residential character of the region. Compared against Greater Melbourne, building activity across Wandin - Seville is notably subdued (55.0% below regional average per person).
Such limited additions to the housing stock generally bolster pricing and interest across established dwellings. Construction volumes also track beneath national norms, pointing to an established community context and potential regulatory hurdles. Building approvals consist of 92.0% detached dwellings alongside 8.0% medium and high-density housing, reinforcing the low-density landscape and satisfying demand among buyers seeking standalone homes. An estimated ratio of 563 people per residential permit underscores the subdued nature of local construction. According to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch, Wandin - Seville is projected to expand by 435 residents by 2041. Existing building rates appear well-positioned to fulfill future housing requirements, generating supportive market dynamics for property seekers and creating room for expansion beyond anticipated levels.

Hereford Road Childcare Centre and Development Site
A planning permit for a 104-place childcare centre on a 5014 sqm site at 19-23 Hereford Road, Mount Evelyn was approved by VCAT on 4 December 2024, following a Council refusal that was overturned on appeal. The application, lodged by Planning Property Partners, originally also proposed a 24/7 McDonald's restaurant on the site, but the fast-food component was refused by Council and the refusal was upheld by VCAT. The childcare centre occupies about 43 percent of the supersite, which retains a development scheme allowing for an additional quick-service restaurant / fast-food outlet subject to further approval.The property was the site of Pro Futsal Mt Evelyn, a sports complex and physiotherapy clinic, held on a lease expiring 31 December 2025. The site was taken to market via Expressions of Interest closing 2 July 2025 through Burgess Rawson and Teska Carson, and has since sold; the purchaser has not been publicly disclosed. No construction start date has been confirmed.

Lilydale Food Waste to Energy Facility
A $48 million anaerobic digestion facility built at Yarra Valley Water's Lilydale Sewage Treatment Plant, processing approximately 55,000 tonnes of commercial food waste annually. The facility generates up to 39,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per day - around 35 per cent of Yarra Valley Water's energy needs - powering the facility itself and the adjacent Lilydale Sewage Treatment Plant, with surplus exported to the grid. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 24,700 tonnes per year (equivalent to removing 23,000 cars from the road).The facility received its first commercial food waste delivery in late 2025 and is ramping up operations, with electricity generation expected to begin in early 2026 and full operational capacity reached over the following year. Day-to-day operations are managed by Yarra Valley Water's partner company ReWaste.
4,694 residents of Wandin - Seville are employed, from a labour force of 4,821. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 73.6%. 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 6,568, about 82% 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 Wandin - Seville is characterized by a mix of white and blue collar roles, with construction being a particularly prominent sector. The area reports an unemployment rate of 2.6% alongside an estimated employment growth of 1.5% over the previous year. As of March 2026, the number of employed residents stands at 4,694. This local unemployment rate is 2.1% lower than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%. Workforce participation in the area is relatively typical at 73.6%, which is higher than the Greater Melbourne figure of 70.1%.
According to Census data, approximately 22.2% of residents worked from home, although these figures may reflect the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns. Local resident employment is anchored by retail trade, health care & social assistance, and construction. The community displays pronounced concentration in construction, where its workforce share reaches 2.0 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, professional & technical occupations are under-indexed, engaging just 5.8% of Wandin - Seville's workers relative to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Comparing local working participants against the resident populace suggests a constrained internal employment market. Analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS data reveals that over the 12-month period, employment grew by 1.5 percent while the labour force expanded by 1.9 percent, which led to a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Greater Melbourne, on the other hand, recorded employment growth of 2.1 percent and labour force growth of 2.3 percent, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Future job demand in Wandin - Seville may be better understood through Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts published in Mar-26. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to estimate future growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6 percent over five years and by 13.7 percent over ten years, though sectoral growth rates vary substantially. When these industry-level projections are applied to Wandin - Seville's current employment composition, local employment is expected to grow by 6.0 percent over five years and by 12.6 percent over ten years. It should be noted that this projection uses a basic weighting method for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,902 at the 2021 Census → 7,998 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 (211051285). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
