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.

Sales Detail
Narrabri has an estimated 6,942 residents, up from 6,898 at the 2021 Census. Density is about 39 people per 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
AreaSearch indicates that Narrabri has a population of approximately 6,942 as of May 2026. This represents an increase of 44 individuals (0.6%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,898 residents. This change is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,942 alongside 47 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The population density stands at 38 persons per square kilometer, which indicates substantial space per resident. Although the growth rate of 0.6% since the 2021 census was slightly above the SA3 regional average of 0.5%, it is still considered minimal.
The primary driver of this population growth was natural increase, which accounted for roughly 55.0% of the total population gains in recent times. For projected data, AreaSearch utilizes the ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2 region. In cases where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on the most recent annual ERP data, the region is projected to experience growth aligned with the lowest quartile of regional Australia, with an increase of 23 residents expected by 2041. This represents a total growth of 0.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
50 new dwellings have been approved in Narrabri over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential development in Narrabri averages approximately 10 new home approvals annually, resulting in 50 residential approvals over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 7 approvals have been logged. In the context of a declining population, this rate of construction is relatively sufficient, offering a favorable landscape for home buyers, with the average construction cost of these new residences at $358,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $15.1 million during this financial year, reflecting ongoing commercial development. Per capita, Narrabri boasts a new home approval rate that is 82.0% higher than the Rest of NSW average, expanding options for prospective purchasers despite a recent deceleration in overall building activity.
Conversely, this rate falls short of the national average, suggesting a mature market or potential building constraints. The composition of recent construction is 75.0% separate houses and 25.0% medium to high-density dwellings, which preserves the historically low-density profile of the region and prioritizes spacious family residences. A ratio of 1042 residents per single residential approval underscores the subdued and quiet pace of local development. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Narrabri is projected to add 23 new residents by 2041. The current pace of residential construction is anticipated to easily satisfy this future demand, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Stoney Creek Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
A major long-duration energy storage project featuring a 125 MW / 1,000 MWh battery system with an 8-hour discharge capacity. Located adjacent to the Narrabri Transgrid substation, it utilizes Energy Vault's B-VAULT architecture to enhance grid reliability and support the NSW renewable energy transition. The project was awarded a 14-year Long-Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA) and is transitioning to an 'Own and Operate' model under Energy Vault.
Narrabri Place Strategy
A 20-year strategic framework finalised in April 2025 by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure together with Narrabri Shire Council. The strategy provides the planning framework to rezone land across three precincts under the Narrabri Local Environmental Plan 2012, supporting at least 2,100 new flood-free homes with a mix of detached and medium-density housing, a revitalised town centre featuring an Eat Street dining concept, new health, aged care and childcare facilities, potential school sites and improved sport and active transport networks.A new employment lands precinct between the Newell Highway and the Inland Rail corridor will support light industrial and commercial uses, while a separate Northern NSW Inland Port precinct will accommodate heavier industrial activity leveraging the Inland Rail project. The strategy is expected to generate around 600 new jobs. Development applications consistent with the strategy can now be lodged with Narrabri Shire Council. Replaces the earlier Narrabri Special Activation Precinct process.
Newell Highway Upgrade - Heavy Duty Pavement Upgrades (Narrabri to Moree)
Jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments, this project delivered more than 20 km of heavy duty pavement upgrades across four priority sections of the Newell Highway between Narrabri and Moree. Works included new heavy duty pavement, wider shoulders, upgraded intersections, five overtaking lanes, improved drainage, flood resilience improvements and the new Spring Creek heavy vehicle rest area. The project was completed in September 2025.
Narrabri Solar Farm
Proposed 140 MW DC solar farm with a 100 MW battery energy storage system on about 312 hectares of private rural land north-east of Narrabri. The project is in the Environmental Impact Statement phase of the NSW State Significant Development process after receiving SEARs on 5 July 2024. It would connect to the existing 132 kV transmission line, supply the National Electricity Market, power about 35,000 homes, avoid about 182,000 tonnes of CO2 each year and support about 100 construction jobs plus 3 operational jobs.
Narrabri Gas Project
The Narrabri Gas Project involves the progressive development of up to 850 coal seam gas wells across 95,000 hectares in the Pilliga State Forest and surrounds, targeting the Gunnedah Basin approximately 600km north-west of Sydney. The project, 100 per cent committed to the domestic market, could supply up to half of NSW's natural gas needs at up to 200 terajoules per day over an estimated 25-year field life. Operations will occupy around 1,000 hectares, primarily on state land.The NSW IPC approved the project in August 2020, followed by federal environmental approval. The National Native Title Tribunal ruled in Santos' favour in May 2025 subject to 23 conditions; the Gomeroi people have lodged a further appeal with a Federal Court hearing scheduled for March 2026. The Environmental Impact Statement for the Narrabri Lateral Pipeline was publicly released in late 2025 with submissions closing December 2025. Santos has signed MOUs with ENGIE, Orica, and Narrabri Shire Council for domestic gas supply. A final investment decision is expected in 2026, subject to resolution of outstanding native title and pipeline approvals.
Inland Rail - Narrabri to North Star - Phase One
Upgrade of approximately 171km of existing rail track and construction of new track to accommodate double-stacked freight trains as part of the broader Inland Rail project. This phase is now complete and operational.
Vickery Extension Project
The Vickery Extension Project involves the construction of a new open-cut coal mine and associated on-site infrastructure 25 kilometres north of Gunnedah. The $700 million project has a 25-year lifespan, producing metallurgical and thermal coal, and will create approximately 500 construction and 450 operational jobs.
Sawmill Business Centre Stage 2
Second stage development of the Sawmill Business Centre providing additional commercial and light industrial facilities. Project includes new warehouse spaces, office buildings, and improved infrastructure to support local business growth.
3,951 residents of Narrabri are employed, from a labour force of 4,095. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 72.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% 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 workforce in Narrabri is evenly distributed between professional and manual roles across a variety of sectors, and the unemployment rate stands at a low 3.5%. As of March 2026, there are 3,951 employed residents, yielding an unemployment rate that is 0.6% lower than the 4.1% rate for Regional NSW. The workforce participation rate is exceptionally high at 72.6%, compared to the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a modest 8.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and mining. The area displays a strong specialization in the mining sector, which employs a share of the workforce that is 3.6 times the Regional NSW average. By contrast, the healthcare & social assistance sector is less prominent, accounting for 13.0% of local employment compared to 16.9% regionally. A comparison between the census-recorded working population and the total local population suggests that a significant number of residents travel outside the area for employment, despite the presence of local jobs. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch indicates that in the year ending March 2026, the local workforce shrank by 2.1% and total employment dropped by 3.8%, which led to a 1.7 percentage point rise in unemployment. Over the same period, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Employment projections for the five- and ten-year horizons from Jobs and Skills Australia, released in May-25, help estimate future employment trajectories when applied to the local industry mix. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variance among different sectors. Applying these national sector trends to the Narrabri workforce configuration suggests local employment growth of 5.8% over five years and 12.5% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 47 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,898 at the 2021 Census → 6,942 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 May 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.
