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.

Detail
According to research from AreaSearch, the resident count in Huskisson - Vincentia reaches approximately 5,063 by Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 219 residents (4.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 4,844 people. This estimate combines the ABS estimated resident population of 5,048 recorded at June 2025 alongside 115 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density stands at 163 persons per square kilometer, highlighting ample living space alongside potential capacity for future expansion. Outperforming both its broader SA4 region (3.1%) and the surrounding SA3 district, Huskisson - Vincentia emerged as a key growth pocket after the 2021 census.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary catalyst for these demographic gains, generating roughly 77.9% of recent net additions. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as baseline) form the basis of AreaSearch's SA2 modelling, supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 series (released in 2022 with a 2021 base year) where necessary. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these models have been mapped across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic modelling places the district within the highest national quartile for non-metropolitan expansion, with projections indicating an influx of 1,321 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP baselines—a cumulative increase of 25.8% across the 16-year horizon.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
326 new dwellings have been approved in Huskisson - Vincentia over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That places the area in the 72nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail
Residential building approvals across Huskisson - Vincentia have averaged roughly 65 dwellings per annum, amounting to 326 residential units across the last 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the area added an average of 1.1 persons annually for every home constructed, demonstrating balanced supply-demand dynamics that support steady market conditions. Meanwhile, newly approved residential constructions command an average value of $582,000, tracking moderately higher than regional benchmarks and underscoring a commitment to quality development. Non-residential development includes $4.3 million in approved commercial works during the current financial year, reinforcing the predominantly residential orientation of the locality.
Construction intensity on a per-capita basis in Huskisson - Vincentia outpaces the Rest of NSW by 93.0%, widening the spectrum of housing choices available to purchasers. This level substantially exceeds national norms, pointing to elevated builder and developer enthusiasm. Approved residential building activity is distributed between 45.0% separate houses and 55.0% medium-to-high density formats. This growing tilt toward multi-unit dwellings provides more accessible pricing for first-time purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. It contrasts sharply with the established dwelling stock (presently 85.0% standalone houses), mirroring both shifting residential preferences and affordability considerations alongside a shrinking pool of broadacre development land. With roughly 74 people per approved residential dwelling, the locality continues to exhibit low-density attributes. Long-term demographic forecasts from AreaSearch's latest quarterly baseline anticipate that Huskisson - Vincentia will expand by 1,306 residents up to 2041. Provided current construction momentum persists, the pipeline of incoming residential dwellings appears well positioned to satisfy local requirements, fostering positive market fundamentals and potentially underpinning expansion beyond projected demographic levels.

The modification seeks amendments to staging, land uses, car parking, and a reduction in gross floor area, incorporating specialty retail, bulky goods, a pet store, a vet, a medical centre, a gym, and a 120-place child care centre. Approved by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment in February 2026.
Revitalisation of Vincentia Village Shopping Mall Precinct
Council has revitalised the Burton Street Mall at Vincentia Village shopping centre to create a vibrant community hub and attract tourists. The $4.3 million upgrade, partially funded by the Australian Government's Building Better Regions Fund, includes a raised outdoor dining area, shade structures, an improved car park, amenity upgrades, landscaping, street furniture, and a new playground/water play area. The project aims to stimulate the local economy and was officially completed in May 2024.
Bayswood Development
Master planned residential community integrated with natural bushland near Jervis Bay National Park, focused on sustainability. The design includes water sensitive urban design (WSUD) within parklands, an extensive urban drainage network, and sewer and water reticulation. An old document suggested a total yield of 607 residential lots.
HomeCo Vincentia
Retail centre serving the local community, formerly known as Vincentia Marketplace, now owned and operated by HomeCo. Major tenants include Woolworths and ALDI, along with 31 specialty stores. It features free parking and is a key convenient shopping destination in the Shoalhaven region. The centre's developer was Fabcot.
Paradise Beach Road Multi Dwelling Housing
Rezoning to R2 Low Density Residential and amendment to maximum building height to 11m to facilitate multi-dwelling housing on the former Anglican Church site, approximately 14 townhouses.
New Sanctuary Point Library
Shoalhaven City Council is delivering a new district library at the corner of Paradise Beach Road and Kerry Street in Sanctuary Point, replacing the undersized existing branch that marked its 30-year anniversary in May 2025 and serving more than 30,000 residents across the Bay and Basin communities. After the April 2025 decision to abandon the Kerry Street corner over parking concerns, Council reinstated the site at its 28 October 2025 meeting and in November 2025 endorsed a single-storey building of approximately 1,000 sqm gross floor area, inspired by Warilla Library, in place of the earlier two-storey scheme.In April 2026 the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure confirmed the $7.5 million federal Priority Community Infrastructure Program grant was tied to the original $30 million two-storey design and could not be varied to the cheaper single-storey option. At its Ordinary Meeting on 29 June 2026 Council resolved (7-6) to borrow up to $14.4 million phased over four years to fund delivery, against a feasibility cost estimate of about $14.9 million, and to keep pursuing state and federal contributions. A rescission motion at an extraordinary meeting the following night was defeated 6-7, leaving in place an added direction for staff to investigate building on two rather than four of the council-owned Kerry Street lots, which triggers a further feasibility study due by 30 June 2027. Remaining phases are detailed design and technical investigations, development application and consent, business case review, construction documentation, tender and construction certificate, after which the project is considered shovel-ready. Council lists an estimated completion date of 31 December 2030, with an end-2029 opening possible if the loan drawdown schedule holds.
Tahnee Street Residential Development
Approved development site for a 90-place childcare centre and 12 townhouses in Sanctuary Point, offering a blend of community amenity and housing in a rapidly growing area.
Basin Walk Upgrade - Boardwalk & Gravel Footpath
Upgrade of damaged sections of boardwalk and gravel footpath along the 5km Basin Walk at Sanctuary Point, following 2022 storm events. The project included repairs, replacements, and the replacement of existing gravel sections with new boardwalk below Greville Ave. Works were funded by NSW grants, including the NSW Infrastructure Betterment Program, and were completed in 2024.
2,172 residents of Huskisson - Vincentia are employed, from a labour force of 2,223. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 50.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local labour market in Huskisson - Vincentia is characterised by an educated talent pool, a strong presence across core social services, and an unemployment rate of only 2.3%, alongside consistent job stability over the past twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,172 individuals. The jobless rate sits 1.8% below the 4.1% recorded across Regional NSW, whereas the local participation rate of 50.4% falls notably short of the wider regional mark of 60.6%. In addition, 19.1% of local workers reported working from home during the Census, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at that time should be taken into account.
Leading fields of employment for local residents consist of public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The community shows an exceptionally heavy weighting toward public administration & safety, employing residents at 2.3 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.7% of the workforce compared to 5.3% regionally. Although local jobs exist within the area, Census comparisons between the working population and resident counts indicate that a large share of workers travel outside the area for employment. Analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS data reveals that the labour force grew by 1.0% during the 12-month period, while employment fell by 0.2%, leading to a 1.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment and a 0.4% reduction in the labour force, with unemployment rising by 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context for potential future demand in Huskisson - Vincentia. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Huskisson - Vincentia’s employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years. This estimate relies on a straightforward weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population projections.

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 — 115 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,844 at the 2021 Census → 5,063 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.
