An assessment of population growth drivers in Campsie - North reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends
Campsie - North's population is approximately 12,658 as of August 2025. This figure reflects an increase of 753 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,905. The growth was inferred from the estimated resident population of 12,541 in June 2024 and additional validated new addresses since the Census date.

Campsie - North's population growth rate of 6.3% since the 2021 Census exceeded both the SA3 area (4.6%) and the SA4 region. This growth was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 95.6% of overall population gains during recent periods.

Development
The level of residential development activity in Campsie - North is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch
Campsie - North has averaged approximately 10 new dwelling approvals annually. Development approval data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics is on a financial year basis, with 54 dwellings approved over the past five years between FY2021 and FY2025. As of now, there have been no dwelling approvals in FY2026. The area has experienced population decline, suggesting that new supply may be keeping up with demand, offering buyers good choice.
New dwellings are developed at an average expected construction cost value of $453,000, aligning with broader regional development figures. There have been commercial approvals valued at $775,000 this financial year, indicating the area's residential nature. When compared to Greater Sydney, Campsie - North records significantly lower building activity, 69.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings. This is also below the national average, reflecting the area's maturity and suggesting possible planning constraints.
New building activity shows a mix of 62.0% detached dwellings and 38.0% attached dwellings, with townhouses and apartments providing options across different price points. Interestingly, developers are constructing more traditional houses than the current market suggests (26.0% at Census), indicating continued strong demand for family homes. The location has approximately 1818 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. Looking ahead to 2041, Campsie - North is expected to grow by 1,102 residents. If current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
