The suburb of Cobblebank is a rapidly growing residential enclave located approximately 35 kilometers west-northwest of the Melbourne CBD. As of May 2026, the population is estimated at 5,549 residents, representing a significant 54.1% increase of 1,948 people from the 3,601 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This growth is driven by demographic indicators and property development metrics that sit well above regional averages, establishing the area as one of the fastest-growing locations in the country. The suburb is particularly popular with families and young working-age couples, resulting in a high proportion of children and larger-than-average household sizes. The community is culturally diverse and highly educated, supported by a strong local emphasis on educational qualifications. Known for its picturesque environment, Cobblebank balances natural beauty with modern amenities, featuring parks, reserves, and open green spaces that appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. The local economy is supported by shopping centers, cafes, and restaurants, creating a comfortable lifestyle for residents. Future performance and connection to the broader metropolitan area are expected to be shaped by a substantial pipeline of major infrastructure projects. Development activity is supported by quarterly national address file updates and annual SA2-level ERP counts to monitor growth trends as the suburb continues to evolve.

Estimated residents are up from 3,601 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,948 people, or 54.1%.
