Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.

SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).

Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

That puts 1,781 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.

Detail

As of Aug 2026, AreaSearch estimates the local population of Banora Point to be approximately 16,810. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 16,320 people, this indicates an expansion of 490 people (3.0%). This figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 16,796 recorded in June 2025, alongside 40 validated new addresses added following the Census date. The resulting population density stands at 1,780 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the broader benchmark across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Banora Point's post-census increase of 3.0% sits closely within 0.8 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (3.8%), underscoring solid demographic drivers.

Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 61.7% of total recent population additions. SA2 geographic projections published in 2024 by Geoscience Australia and the ABS (using 2022 as their starting baseline) form the basis of AreaSearch's modeling, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (anchored to a 2021 base year) where standard data is unavailable. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific growth trajectories from these sources are integrated across all districts. Based on demographic outlooks, Banora Point is projected to track within the lower quartile of non-metropolitan areas, growing by 546 persons to 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP population numbers, which represents a cumulative 3.2% rise over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Banora Point

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

105 new dwellings have been approved in Banora Point over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 86% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential approvals in Banora Point have averaged approximately 21 new homes annually, generating a total of 105 homes across the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the area added an average of 5.5 new residents per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years, signaling a substantial supply-demand imbalance that typically fuels competitive purchasing conditions and capital appreciation. New dwellings feature an average expected construction cost of $521,000, moderately higher than regional benchmarks and reflective of a focus on premium builds. Concurrently, non-residential activity has been limited, with $1.1 million in commercial development approvals recorded this financial year, underscoring an overwhelmingly residential development profile.

Residential building output in Banora Point remains subdued in comparison to Rest of NSW, trailing the per-capita regional benchmark by 60.0%. This curtailed building volume commonly bolsters asset values and demand across established properties. Construction intensity also tracks below national levels, highlighting planning constraints within a largely built-out community. Recent dwelling approvals are split between 86.0% detached dwellings and 14.0% attached dwellings, preserving the suburban character through spacious family accommodation. Furthermore, current building activity shows a higher preference for detached dwellings than existing housing stock would suggest (63.0% at Census), underscoring enduring demand for standalone houses amid densification trends. A ratio of around 904 people per dwelling approval characterizes Banora Point as an exceptionally established housing market. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Banora Point is projected to expand by 532 residents through to 2041. Present levels of building activity appear well-matched to anticipated demographic growth, supporting an orderly market environment free of acute pricing pressure.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Banora Point

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

7,464 residents of Banora Point are employed, from a labour force of 7,666. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 54.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,060, about 84% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

Banora Point maintains a diverse labour market spanning both blue and white collar roles, supported by a healthy footprint in essential services, a jobless rate of merely 2.6%, and an estimated 3.6% growth in employment across the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,464. The local unemployment rate sits 1.5% lower than the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, though the participation rate of 54.9% remains considerably lower than the regional standard of 60.6%. At the Census, only 12.7% of workers reported working remotely, though these figures coincided with Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.

Local workers are predominantly engaged across construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Retail trade displays distinct local concentration, accounting for an employment share 1.4 times greater than the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing comprises only 0.7% employment, markedly beneath the 5.3% observed regionally. Comparing the resident workforce against the Census working population indicates that this mostly residential suburb provides relatively few internal employment opportunities. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce grew by 3.9% alongside a 3.6% increase in employment, nudging unemployment up by 0.3 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW saw a 0.9% contraction in employment and a 0.4% decline in the labour pool, alongside a 0.5 percentage point increase in joblessness. Broader occupational projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Banora Point. These five- and ten-year national outlooks have been weighted against local industry representation to model prospective expansion. While countrywide employment is anticipated to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies substantially. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the resident job profile projects local employment gains of 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this illustrative model applies direct industry weighting without adjusting for localized population trends).

How the numbers are built

Population

The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,320 at the 2021 Census → 16,810 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.

Age profile

Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".

Property sales

Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.

Rents

Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.

Development & infrastructure

Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.

Employment & income

Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.

Education, transport & amenities

School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.

Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.

Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (112031550). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Banora Point SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Banora Point page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Banora Point data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
