Population Text

According to the ABS' latest regional data the Parramatta - Rosehill area had an estimated resident population of 33,697 people at the end of the 2021 financial year. The population declined by 1,019 people over the past financial year reflecting a growth rate of -2.94%, which places it in the 5th percentile of national statistical areas, and materially below the Australian average of 0.17%. Since the 2016 Census the ABS estimates the resident population in Parramatta - Rosehill area expanded by 18.7% in total, a level materially greater than the national growth rate of 9.77%, which places it in the 92nd percentile of national areas.

In terms of population density (residents per square kilometer) the Parramatta - Rosehill lies in the 93rd percentile of national areas given its total size of 8.5 square kilometers, equating to 3,964.4p/sqKm. This is a level significantly above the Greater Sydney region average of 433.5p/sqKm.

Following the Census the Department of Health undertook population projections for each SA2 area across the country, providing estimates of population levels by age bracket for the years 2017 to 2032. AreaSearch has applied these growth rates (using the mid-tier growth estimate) to the latest resident population for Parramatta - Rosehill provided by the ABS to give a current guide as to potential growth scenarios. Population growth is projected to be among the top 10 percent of statistical areas across the nation over the period with the area expected to increase by 9,447 persons to 2032 when based off the latest population numbers, with an increase of 28.0% in total over the 11 years. Of age brackets the bulk of the population increase is expected to be within the 35 to 44 age group, which is projected to grow by 2,296 people. See age section for detail.

Please note, these projections are based on DOH assumptions for likely natural population changes (births minus deaths) and population migration. These projections were undertaken prior to Covid-19 and specific planning and development changes can have a material impact on population outcomes which may not been taken into account.

Development Text
The Parramatta - Rosehill area had a total of 731 development approvals during the FY-21 financial year according to the latest data from the ABS. This is a substantial decrease from the FY-20 level of 979 approvals. Other approvals (typically apartments and townhouses) made up the bulk of development approvals in the Parramatta - Rosehill area representing 98.0% of activity registered by the ABS during the current financial year to date and recent years, while detached house approvals constituted 2.0% of activity with 23 approvals over the same period.

In order to enable comparison across areas of different sizes, AreaSearch uses two methods to assess relative development activity levels; being the level of development approvals per 100 people in population and the number of development approvals per growth in population. In terms of development activity per 100 people Parramatta - Rosehill had a relative development activity level considerably above Greater Sydney with an average 2.50 approvals per 100 people over the past two financial years, compared to 0.71 for Greater Sydney. This means that for each development approval there were 40.1 persons in existing population. Australia's relative development ratio was also lower than that of Parramatta - Rosehill, with 0.77 developments per 100 people.

Assessing population growth per development approval shows Australia as a whole achieved a level of 0.90 persons in population growth for each development approval registered during the past two financial years. Parramatta - Rosehill was notably beneath than the national average over the same period with a ratio of -0.40, persons per approval, which places it in the 33rd percentile of national statistical areas.

By looking at the difference in composition between recent development approvals and that of existing stock during the 2016 Census, AreaSearch approximates 'densification' of an area, which is a key driver of land values. Parramatta - Rosehill sits in the 94th percentile of national statistical areas for densification, as the difference between the 98 percentage of recent approvals being for attached dwellings and the 90.7% of attached and semi-attached dwellings as at the last Census gives the area a rating of 100.1.

Employment Text
According to the latest data from the Department of Employment, the total employment level for the Parramatta - Rosehill SA2 area was estimated to be 20,605 as at 2022-Mar. The area had a total unemployment level of 836 persons, reflecting an unemployment rate of 3.9%, which is lower than that of the broader Greater Sydney region (4.7%) and places it in the 51st percentile of Australian statistical areas. Over the past 12 months the unemployment rate in Parramatta - Rosehill declined by 1.2%, while the overall employment level is estimated to have increased by 84 persons (0.4%) during the year. Looking over a longer term the total employment level has risen by 13.9% over the past five years, which on AreaSearch's analysis is a performance in the top quartile of national areas.

The level of job advertisements provide a strong forward lead into the employment prospects of different areas and sectors. AreaSearch analyses the Department of Employment's Internet Vacancy Index (IVI), which while not available for the Parramatta - Rosehill SA2 area specifically, is published at the wider Sydney region and across 37 regions nationally. Over the past 12 months to May 2022 the level of job advertisements in Sydney showed a dramatic rebound increasing by 34.1%, which ranked 6th of the 37 regions given the exceptional growth in job requirements witnessed at a national level.

The Department of Employment also provides projections of employment growth across Australia's regions and industries in the five years between May 2020 and 2025. Due to the impact of Covid-19 the smallest relevant level of these projections provided by the DOE is for Greater Sydney at present, AreaSearch has applied these industry-level expectations to the overall employment composition of Parramatta - Rosehill in order to provide an indicative guide at a more localised level. Please note this is a weighting extrapolation only and does not take into account population projections. Over this period Greater Sydney is expected to see employment increase by 8.9% in total, a figure higher than the expected national growth projection of 7.8%. When industry expectations are applied to Parramatta - Rosehill as described above, the area should grow by 9.0% over the five year period, positioning it in the 84th percentile of national areas.

Looking at projections by industry sector, the sector contributing the largest gain in employment for Greater Sydney over this period is expected to be Health Care and Social Assistance with approximately 50,880 roles (14.4% growth) expected to be added over the period, with the sector contributing 9.9% of the Parramatta - Rosehill workforce as at the 2016 Census.
