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.

Wantirna has an estimated 14,771 residents, up from 14,341 at the 2021 Census — a change of 430 people, or 3.0%. 329 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,778 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 conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Wantirna stands at approximately 14,771 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 14,341 people, this represents an addition of 430 people (3.0%). This calculation draws upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 14,634 recorded in June 2025 alongside 329 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The suburb's density reaches 1,777 persons per square kilometer, positioning it above the typical level across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Wantirna's post-census increase of 3.0% tracks closely with the broader SA3 area (3.3%), trailing by just 0.3 percentage points and highlighting solid expansion fundamentals.
Recent demographic additions have been powered almost entirely by overseas migration, serving as the primary catalyst for local population gains. AreaSearch incorporates SA2-level projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, anchored to 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, figures from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA dataset are integrated via a population-weighted aggregation model converting LGA data to SA2 geography. Projected age-cohort growth trajectories derived from these aggregations are subsequently extended to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected structural transitions, population growth is slated to track within the lower quartile nationally, adding 547 persons through to 2041 relative to recent annual ERP baselines, which amounts to a cumulative rise of 2.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
649 new dwellings have been approved in Wantirna over the past five years, an average of 129 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 130 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 22% 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
Dwelling consent volumes in Wantirna have tracked at roughly 129 dwellings per annum, amounting to 649 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. In the context of local population contraction, construction volumes have maintained a satisfactory pace in relative terms to benefit purchasers, with incoming stock registering an average construction value of $490,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $63.5 million over the current financial year, underscoring notable momentum within non-residential development. Per capita residential construction in Wantirna exceeds Greater Melbourne by 107.0%, expanding inventory choices for purchasers despite a cooling in building volumes in recent times.
Approved residential construction is distributed between detached houses at 22.0% and medium-to-high density formats (townhouses or apartments) at 78.0%. This pivot toward higher-density building forms creates attainable market entry points suited to downsizers, first-time purchasers, and investors. Such development contrasts sharply with the established residential stock (where standalone houses comprise 90.0%), signaling fewer broadacre sites and responding to evolving household preferences for accessible, varied housing formats. Yielding roughly 176 people per approval, Wantirna maintains low-density characteristics. Demographic modelling suggests Wantirna will welcome 410 residents by 2041, benchmarked against AreaSearch's most recent quarterly assessment. Prevailing building approval rates suggest that future residential supply is well positioned to absorb anticipated demand, fostering supportive market conditions for buyers while potentially enabling population increases above baseline forecasts.

7,446 residents of Wantirna are employed, from a labour force of 7,762. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 64.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,357, about 90% 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 labour pool in Wantirna is highly educated and exhibits strong participation in professional services, maintaining an unemployment rate of 4.1% alongside a 1.1% gain in estimated employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,446, with the jobless rate tracking 0.7% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, although the labour force participation rate of 64.1% falls well short of the regional 70.1%. Census records indicated that 31.2% of workers operated from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during Covid-19 must be considered. Key employment sectors absorbing the resident workforce comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training.
Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a comparatively modest 8.4% of jobs, below the regional proportion of 10.1%. As demonstrated by Census comparisons between working-population tallies and resident workers, this heavily residential locality provides relatively few positions within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS figures, the period concluding in March 2026 saw employment climb by 1.1% alongside a 1.9% expansion in the labour force, which led to a 0.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1%, labour force expansion of 2.3%, and an unemployment rise of 0.2 percentage points. Insights regarding future demand in Wantirna may be obtained through Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts originating from Mar-26. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and by 13.7% across ten years, yet sectoral growth rates vary substantially. When applied to Wantirna's employment composition, these industry-specific forecasts indicate that local employment should rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years (this represents a straightforward weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes localised 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 — 329 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,341 at the 2021 Census → 14,771 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 (211011259). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
