Greenway

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

Greenway's population, as per AreaSearch's analysis, was approximately 5,600 by November 2025. This figure represents a growth of 1,471 people from the 2021 Census total of 4,129, indicating a 35.6% increase over this period. The population estimate for June 2024 was 5,355, with an additional 884 validated new addresses since the Census date contributing to this growth. This results in a population density ratio of 1,054 persons per square kilometer, comparable to averages seen across other locations assessed by AreaSearch. Greenway's growth rate exceeded that of its SA3 area (0.2%) and the state, positioning it as a growth leader in the region. Interstate migration accounted for approximately 82.3% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, age group growth rates from the ACT Government's SA2 area projections are used, also based on 2022. Exceptional growth is predicted for Greenway over the next few decades, with an expected increase of 3,280 persons to reach a total population of approximately 9,880 by 2041, reflecting a 54.2% increase in total population over these 17 years.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Greenway recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

Greenway has received approximately 114 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling 574 homes. No approvals have been recorded so far in FY26. On average, each home built between FY21 and FY25 has accommodated 3.8 new residents per year. This indicates a significant demand exceeding supply, typically leading to price growth and increased buyer competition.

The average construction cost of new homes is $86,000, which is below regional norms, offering more affordable housing options. In the current financial year, commercial approvals worth $68.6 million have been registered, reflecting strong commercial development momentum. Compared to the Australian Capital Territory, Greenway has 1354% more building activity per person, suggesting ample choice for buyers, although recent periods have shown a moderation in development activity. This high level of activity is significantly above the national average, indicating robust developer interest in the area. All recent building activity consists of townhouses or apartments, reflecting a trend towards denser development that appeals to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers.

According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Greenway is projected to add 3033 residents by 2041. Current construction rates appear balanced with future demand, fostering steady market conditions without excessive price pressure.

Greenway has seen below average employment performance when compared to national benchmarks

Greenway has an educated workforce with significant representation in essential services sectors. The unemployment rate was 5.1% as of September 2024, with an estimated employment growth of 1.7%.

As of September 2025, the unemployment rate is 6.3%, 1.5% higher than the Australian Capital Territory's (ACT) rate of 3.6%. Workforce participation in Greenway is similar to ACT's 69.6%. Employment among residents is concentrated in public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical sectors. Health care & social assistance has particularly notable concentration with employment levels at 1.3 times the regional average.

However, education & training has limited presence with 6.4% employment compared to 9.6% regionally. There are 2.8 workers for every resident in Greenway, indicating it functions as an employment hub attracting workers from surrounding areas. Over the year to September 2025, employment increased by 1.7%, while labour force grew by 2.3%, causing unemployment rate to rise by 0.6 percentage points. In contrast, ACT saw employment rise by 1.4% and unemployment fall by 0.2 percentage points. State-level data as of 25-Nov shows ACT employment grew by 1.19% year-on-year with an unemployment rate of 4.5%, compared to the national rate of 4.3%. National employment forecasts from May-25 suggest a 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Greenway's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years.
