Suburb profile

Dunolly is a major regional centre in Victoria, in Central Goldfields Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Dunolly Town Hall, Dunolly Court House and Dunolly Railway Station.

Dining and café access is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for major regional centres. Housing is unusually affordable against comparable places, with median house prices 40% below the peer median. Green cover is an exceptional strength, and heritage listings are more concentrated than in comparable places. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. Socio-economic advantage is well below comparable places.

Overall, Dunolly suits people prioritising more affordable housing and dining over socio-economic advantage.

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 (~950), extrapolated at +0.8% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)

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.
