AreaSearch uses 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 utilises 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. Based on projected demographic shifts, the area is expected to increase by approximately 390 persons to 2041, reflecting a total increase of 7.2% over the 17-year period.

The level of residential development activity in Tuggerah - Kangy Angy is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Tuggerah-Kangy Angy has seen approximately three new homes approved annually over the past five financial years, totalling 16 homes. In FY2025-26 so far, one approval has been recorded. The area's population decline suggests that new supply has likely kept pace with demand, offering buyers good choice while maintaining average dwelling values of $294,000 in line with regional trends. This financial year, $91.3 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating strong commercial development momentum.

Compared to Greater Sydney, Tuggerah-Kangy Angy has significantly less development activity, 86.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings. However, recent periods have seen an increase in development activity, which is still below national averages, reflecting the area's maturity and possible planning constraints. Recent building activity consists entirely of detached houses, preserving the area's low density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. Interestingly, developers are building more traditional houses than the current mix suggests, indicating continued strong demand for family homes despite density pressures.

The estimated population per dwelling approval is 970 people, reflecting its quiet, low activity development environment. Population forecasts indicate Tuggerah-Kangy Angy will gain 382 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.
