Residential supply
Data to 17 Jul 2026Districts view
Recent residential development output has been above average within Mundoolun when compared nationally
Detail
According to Districts' investigation of ABS residential building approvals mapped from statistical areas, the suburb of Mundoolun has averaged approximately 3 new dwellings approved each year, totaling 17 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 8 approvals have been registered. With an average of 11.3 new residents per year per finished dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is running ahead of new additions, which commonly triggers price inflation and heightened competition among buyers, with new housing built at an average value of $361,000.
Relative to Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Mundoolun has a much lower rate of construction, sitting at 93.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited supply typically underpins demand and values for existing properties, even though building pace has accelerated of late. This volume is also lower than the national average, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential planning restrictions. Recent building permits consist of 60.0% detached houses and 40.0% medium and high-density choices, with a shifting selection of townhomes and units offering pathways across various price bands, from standalone homes to cheaper compact alternatives. This represents a major departure from the existing housing profile (which is 100.0% houses), driven by scarcer development land and changing preferences for lifestyle and affordability. With 232 people per dwelling approval, the suburb of Mundoolun is showing signs of an evolving market.
Projecting forward, the suburb of Mundoolun is anticipated to add 493 residents by 2041 (calculated from the latest quarterly estimate by Districts). Under existing construction paces, residential supply could struggle to keep up with population increases, which may intensify competition for buyers and bolster price appreciation.

Districts implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 unit, published in 2024 with 2022 as the anchor year. For SA2 units lacking this coverage, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are utilized. Note that these state-level projections lack age breakdown statistics; consequently, Districts distributes growth weightings using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) for individual age cohorts. Looking forward, strong demographic expansion is projected within the top quarter of national statistical areas, with this region expected to add 540 individuals by 2041 according to combined SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 24.2% over the 16 years.

Based on Districts' evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the 12 months leading up to March 2026 saw the workforce contract by 6.0% and overall employment fall by 6.4%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Brisbane experienced job growth of 3.2%, workforce growth of 3.4%, and an unemployment rate increase of 0.1 percentage points. National employment predictions from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context on future demand in the suburb of Mundoolun. These forecasts, spanning five and ten years, are aligned with local employment profiles to project growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates differ greatly by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the workforce mix in the suburb of Mundoolun suggests local jobs should rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

Mundoolun contains 1 Long Day Care centre (119 places), with overall provision relative to the local child population appearing favorable compared to national benchmarks, and above the Greater Brisbane average. With no preschool/kindergarten services observed in the area, only long day care, the ratio of children per place for the under 5 age group is 1.0 - placing the area among the top 20% nationally for supply per child. With projected population growth of 24.2% between now and 2041, and 9.0% in the under 5 age group in particular, 24 new places will be needed to maintain today's ratios. As well as this projected growth, other drivers of note in the area are high female labour force participation of 64.4%.
Proximity analysis saw distances of local residents to their nearest child care centre being longer than typical nationally while high fees are observed despite adequate supply suggesting premium positioning or quality differentiation.
9 school catchments intersect Mundoolun (note; school catchment data provided for public schools only), in which a combined 6,251 children aged under 5 reside, served by 5,606 LDC and preschool places. The overall demand-to-supply ratio across these catchments is 1.1 children per place, with limited variance in this ratio.
