Greenway
Statistical Area - sa2

Greenway lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of November 2025, Greenway's population is approximately 5600. This figure represents a growth of 1471 people (35.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4129. The increase was inferred from ABS estimates: 5355 in June 2024 and an additional 884 validated new addresses post-Census. This results in a density ratio of 1054 persons per square kilometer, comparable to averages seen across other locations assessed by AreaSearch. Greenway's growth exceeded the SA3 area (0.2%) and state levels, marking it as a regional growth leader. Interstate migration contributed approximately 82.3% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers being positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, ACT Government's SA2 area projections with a 2022 base are used. Future trends predict exceptional growth, placing Greenway in the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationally. By 2041, the population is expected to increase by 3280 persons, reflecting an overall increase of 54.2% over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is slightly higher than average within Greenway when compared nationally

Greenway has approved approximately 114 dwellings annually over the past five financial years, totalling 574 homes. As of FY26, no approvals have been recorded yet. On average, each home built between FY21 and FY25 accommodates around 3.8 new residents per year, indicating high demand outstripping supply, which typically drives price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction cost for these homes is $86,000, below regional norms, offering more affordable housing options.

This financial year has seen $68.6 million in commercial approvals, demonstrating robust commercial development activity. Compared to the Australian Capital Territory, Greenway exhibits 1354.0% more building activity per person, suggesting ample choice for buyers, although recent periods show a moderation in development activity. This high level of activity is significantly above the national average, indicating strong developer interest in the area. Current building activity consists solely of townhouses or apartments, catering to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers seeking accessible entry options. By 2041, Greenway is projected to add 3,033 residents.

The current construction rates appear balanced with future demand, maintaining steady market conditions without excessive price pressure.
