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 up to FY26. This totals 16 homes. As of now in FY26, one approval has been recorded. The area has experienced population decline, suggesting that new supply may be keeping pace with demand and providing good choice for buyers.

The average expected construction cost value of new homes is $294,000, which aligns 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, being 86.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings. However, development activity has picked up in recent periods.

Nationally, this activity is also below average, 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 count of 970 people in the area per dwelling approval reflects its quiet, low activity development environment. According to AreaSearch quarterly estimates, Tuggerah - Kangy Angy is forecasted to gain 401 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.
