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
Urunga has an estimated 4,962 residents, up from 4,907 at the 2021 Census — a change of 55 people, or 1.1%. Density is about 46 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, Urunga records a population count of approximately 4,962 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 55 people (1.1%) from the 2021 Census count of 4,907 people. This variance is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,947 from June 2025 alongside 66 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. With 45 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains a spacious setting for its community. Furthermore, the 1.1% post-census growth rate trails the broader SA3 area (4.0%) by 2.9 percentage points, highlighting solid local demographic trends.
Net overseas migration served as the primary contributor to these demographic increases, acting as virtually the exclusive catalyst for recent local expansion. SA2 projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are incorporated into AreaSearch's methodology, while areas outside this dataset utilise 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories derived from these datasets are applied locally. Demographic models position the district in the lower quartile of nationwide regional expansion, projecting a rise of 203 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 3.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
64 new dwellings have been approved in Urunga over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building authorisations in Urunga track at roughly 12 dwellings per annum, reaching 64 homes over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). With approximately 1.5 new residents per year added for each approved home between FY-22 and FY-26 (the past 5 financial years), construction activity has kept pace with local intake, although figures over the past 2 financial years have eased to 0.6 people per dwelling to indicate a well-calibrated market. The mean estimated construction value for these dwellings stands at $419,000. Non-residential development remains limited, with $490,000 in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year, underlining the district's predominantly residential character.
Per capita residential development approvals in Urunga run at approximately two-thirds of the benchmark for Rest of NSW and place the locality in the 44th percentile across Australia, constraining supply options and bolstering interest in existing properties. These below-average national levels illustrate the settled nature of the suburb alongside possible planning hurdles. Single-family detached houses dominate recent building consents at 92.0%, while attached dwellings account for 8.0%, preserving lower-density living tailored to space-oriented buyers. An average ratio of 336 people for every approved residential unit highlights the unhurried pace of construction activity in the area. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, future population projections anticipate an influx of 188 residents into Urunga through to 2041. Ongoing residential building volumes indicate that incoming dwelling supply will comfortably accommodate this demand, supporting favourable buyer conditions while potentially enabling population gains to outpace current projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Sewering Coastal Villages Project
A major $38 million sewerage infrastructure project expanding the network to Mylestom, Repton, and Raleigh. The project involves a completed upgrade to the Urunga Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP), doubling its capacity to 10,000 equivalent persons. Current works focus on installing sewer reticulation mains and 228 low-pressure sewer units at individual properties, and constructing new pump stations to replace failing septic systems and protect the Bellinger and Kalang Rivers.
Urunga Boardwalk Replacement
Full replacement of the historic Urunga Boardwalk, part of the wider Urunga Precinct Revitalisation, following flood damage to the original structure. The upgrade widens the walkway to between 2.5 and 3 metres, installs over 300 fibre reinforced polymer piles, and rebuilds more than 850 metres of decking, viewing platforms, breakout areas and seating to improve accessibility, safety and tourism appeal. Construction began in July 2025. As of mid-2026 over 800 metres including the full 250 metre South Arm section is open to the public, with Stages 1 to 3 substantially complete and the final Stage 4 (360 metre breakwall section) underway, expected to finish late 2026.The project is being delivered by Bellingen Shire Council with XINC Engineering Pty Ltd (design and supply) and GPM Marine Constructions Pty Ltd (piling and installation).
Black Wattle Estate - Urunga
Black Wattle Estate is a six stage master planned residential land subdivision within the South Urunga Development Precinct, delivering about 320 housing lots from roughly 600 sqm up to 1,450 sqm. Stage 1 civil works and registration are complete with most lots sold, while later stages will add local parks, walking and cycle paths and bushland buffers. The estate is promoted as an environmentally and socially sustainable coastal community close to Urunga township, beaches, the Kalang River and regional centres such as Coffs Harbour and Bellingen.
Taylors Rise Estate
Boutique residential estate offering 42 land lots ranging from 600sqm to 1621sqm, and brand-new completed homes, located near Bellingen CBD. Civil construction for the 42-lot subdivision was completed and registered in 2023, with home construction and lot sales progressing through completion.
Watson Place Affordable Housing
Affordable housing complex providing 23 one-bedroom apartments for women over 55 at risk of homelessness. The project was officially opened in December 2024 and was delivered through RFBI's subsidiary, Bellorana, with $10 million in combined funding from the NSW and Australian governments. All 23 apartments were tenanted before the official opening.
Retail & ShopTop Housing Development, Hyde Street, Bellingen
Mixed-use development involving demolition, remediation, and construction of shop-top housing with 15 residential units and retail premises, on the site of the former Carl Foster's Garage. The project was approved by the Northern Regional Planning Panel on 20 March 2019, with a capital investment value of $8,985,000. The proposal includes commercial space (a supermarket opportunity has been marketed for the site) and is located within the Bellingen Heritage Conservation Area.
Sawtell Pool Upgrade Project
City of Coffs Harbour continues to retain the Sawtell Pool Upgrade as a planned future project. The concept design includes a new eight-lane 25 metre pool with an accessible lane, a heated learn-to-swim pool, splash pad, new amenities building, cafe, improved accessibility and sustainable building features. Following the earlier funding setback, the project remains at concept design stage and is listed by Council as an unfunded future capital project pending external funding.
Sawtell Lifeguard Tower Construction
Construction of a new, prefabricated, non-permanent lifeguard tower at Sawtell Beach to provide an all-weather observation point for beach safety operations. The aluminium tower replaced the old structure damaged by coastal erosion and has a minimum expiry life of 15 years. It was expected to be open by the end of September 2025.
1,996 residents of Urunga are employed, from a labour force of 2,071. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 48.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,546, about 92% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 labour market in Urunga displays solid capability, highlighted by strong representation in community and essential services, an unemployment rate of 3.6%, and estimated annual employment gains of 1.0%. By March 2026, employed residents totaled 1,996, keeping joblessness 0.5% beneath the 4.1% rate across Regional NSW, even as labour force participation sits well below broader benchmarks (48.2% versus 60.6% in Regional NSW). In addition, 13.6% of workers recorded working remotely during the Census, although historical Covid-19 restrictions may have influenced these figures. Urunga's resident workforce is heavily concentrated across education & training, health care & social assistance, and construction.
A clear regional specialisation exists in education & training, capturing a workforce share 1.4 times higher than across the broader region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 3.0% of local jobs compared to 5.3% regionally. Comparing local Census employment counts to the resident worker population suggests that on-site job opportunities within the immediate area remain relatively constrained. AreaSearch evaluated SALM and ABS figures to determine that employment rose by 1.0% and the labour force grew by 0.1% during the year to March 2026, which resulted in the unemployment rate dropping by 0.9 percentage points. Meanwhile, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labour force shrink by 0.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts from Mar-26 to provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Urunga. These projections span five and ten-year periods and have been overlaid with the local employment profile to project growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Urunga's current employment composition, the estimate indicates that local employment will rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 66 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,907 at the 2021 Census → 4,962 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 Aug 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.
