Suburb profile

Noosaville is an outer metropolitan suburb of Brisbane, in Noosa Council. It is primarily residential, without a particularly distinct commercial centre or landmark identity.

Public transport is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for outer metropolitan suburbs. Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group. Working from home is a very strong feature of the suburb, with working from home 73% above the peer median, and university qualifications are more common than in comparable places, with university qualifications 40% above the peer median. The clearer weaknesses are weaker employment and weaker population growth, with employment 25% below the peer median.

Noosaville's appeal is better explained by housing, access and location than by a strong standalone precinct or destination.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~10,100), extrapolated at +1.3% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
