AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch uses NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Future population dynamics anticipate lower quartile growth of national statistical areas. By 2041, the area is expected to grow by 566 persons based on the latest population numbers, representing an increase of 2.1% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Kellyville - East, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Kellyville - East has approved approximately 25 residential properties per year. Between financial years FY-21 and FY-25, a total of 128 homes were approved. As of FY-26, 37 properties have been granted approval.

The area's population decline suggests that new supply is meeting demand, providing buyers with good choices. The average construction cost value for new properties is $532,000, indicating a focus on the premium market and high-end developments. In FY-26, commercial approvals totalled $2.2 million, reflecting minimal commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Kellyville - East has significantly less development activity, with 85.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties.

However, building activity has accelerated in recent years. The area's established nature is also indicated by its level being under the national average, potentially due to planning limitations. Recent construction comprises 95.0% standalone homes and 5.0% medium and high-density housing, maintaining Kellyville - East's traditional suburban character focused on family homes appealing to those seeking space. With around 454 people per dwelling approval, the area shows a developed market. Future projections indicate Kellyville - East adding 377 residents by 2041. Based on current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.
