ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2021: language used at home, by Statistical Area Level 2, rolled up to Local Government Area. Change is measured from 2016.
How the headline share is counted: 10.4% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 1,309 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 28.2%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 12.7%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.
People with no usual address fall outside any suburb, which is why the national figure here is a fraction under the ABS one. The council figures aren't affected.
