For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections are used, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Future population trends suggest a significant increase in the top quartile of Australian statistical areas, with Granville - Clyde expected to grow by 7,356 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an overall increase of 29.7% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Granville - Clyde among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Granville - Clyde has seen approximately 69 new homes approved annually on average over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, with a total of 346 homes approved during this period and an additional 28 approved so far in FY-26. Each year, around 4.5 new residents have arrived per dwelling constructed on average between FY-21 and FY-25. This has led to demand outpacing supply, which typically exerts upward pressure on prices and intensifies competition among buyers.

The average value of new dwellings developed is $363,000. In the current financial year, there have been $43.6 million in commercial development approvals recorded, indicating high levels of local commercial activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Granville - Clyde shows significantly reduced construction rates, with 59.0% fewer new dwellings approved per person on average. This scarcity often strengthens demand and prices for existing properties but building activity has been accelerating recently. Nationally, construction is also lower than the national average, suggesting possible development constraints. The new building activity in Granville - Clyde consists of approximately 40.0% detached houses and 60.0% medium to high-density housing, indicating a trend towards denser development that caters to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers.

With around 482 people per dwelling approval, the area shows signs of a developed market. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Granville - Clyde is projected to grow by approximately 7,393 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may struggle to keep pace with population growth, potentially leading to increased buyer competition and price increases.
