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
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Wandin - Seville stands at approximately 7,998 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 96 individuals (1.2%) from the 7,902 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 7,996 from June 2025 alongside 42 validated new addresses identified since the Census. With these figures, the population density reaches 71 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for subsequent expansion. The 1.2% rate of growth since the census is within 2.3 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (3.5%), showing solid local growth dynamics.
Natural increase was the main driver of population gains, accounting for approximately 72.1% of the growth in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a base, are applied to each SA2 location. For sectors where this data is unavailable, AreaSearch utilizes 2023 Victoria State Government projections, executing a weighted aggregation of population expansion from the LGA level down to SA2. Growth rates across different age cohorts from these aggregates are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Demographic outlooks suggest population growth will track slightly under the national median for statistical areas, with the region expected to add 449 residents by 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 5.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
82 new dwellings have been approved in Wandin - Seville over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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
Wandin - Seville averages approximately 16 residential building approvals annually, with a total of 82 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 18 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Because the population has contracted in recent times, this level of building activity has been relatively sufficient, which benefits buyers, with new dwellings showing a mean construction cost of $327,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals total $7.5 million for the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential profile of the locality. Wandin - Seville registers roughly half the rate of new residential approvals per capita compared to Greater Melbourne, placing it in the 18th percentile of all examined areas in Australia, which limits choice for buyers and sustains demand for established properties.
This rate of building is also below the national average, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential constraints on new construction. Furthermore, all recent building permits have been for standalone houses, preserving the established low-density layout of the area and focusing on family-oriented properties. The ratio of 863 people per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of development in the area. Forecasts for Wandin - Seville indicate an increase of 447 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Looking at established building patterns, the incoming supply of homes is expected to comfortably satisfy this demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting population growth above current forecasts.

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.
Kinley Estate (Former Lilydale Quarry)
Kinley is a 163-hectare masterplanned community transforming the former Lilydale (Cave Hill) Quarry into a sustainable, transit-oriented neighbourhood in Melbourne's east. The project will deliver approximately 3,200 dwellings across multiple precincts, including house-and-land lots, townhomes, and future apartment sites. Key features include a 6-Star Green Star Communities rating, repurposing of heritage dairy buildings, silos and kilns into a Heritage Quarter, and a future mixed-use Village Centre. Stages 1-4 are fully settled; active land releases continue in newer precincts including Heartridge.Earthworks involving over 3 million cubic metres of compacted fill are ongoing to prepare the former quarry pit for future development stages, with completion expected around 2040.
4,694 residents of Wandin - Seville are employed, from a labour force of 4,821. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 73.5%. 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 local workforce is evenly distributed between professional and trade roles, with the construction sector particularly well represented, a very low unemployment rate of 2.6%, and estimated jobs growth of 1.5% over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,694, while the local unemployment rate sat 2.1% lower than the 4.8% rate in Greater Melbourne, and participation in the labor force was typical at 73.5% compared to 70.2% for the metropolitan area. Census data indicated that a moderate 22.2% of the workforce worked from home, though this data is influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The region exhibits a strong concentration of construction workers, with its employment share in this sector reaching 2.0 times the regional average. In contrast, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 5.8% of the workforce compared to the metropolitan average of 10.1%. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the immediate area are limited. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed residents grew by 1.5% while the total labor force expanded by 1.9%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force grow by 2.3%, with unemployment increasing by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand in Wandin - Seville. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by industry. Applying these national sector trends to the local workforce profile suggests Wandin - Seville could see employment growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 42 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (211051285). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
