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
Windang - Primbee has an estimated 4,226 residents. That puts 756 residents on each 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Windang - Primbee stands at approximately 4,226 in May 2026. This represents a reduction of 13 individuals (0.3%) from the 4,239 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,224 alongside 10 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The population size translates to 756 persons per square kilometer, a density level that aligns closely with the typical figures observed across other areas evaluated by AreaSearch. In recent times, population increases were almost exclusively generated by incoming overseas migration.
For each SA2 region, AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, which establish 2022 as the starting point. Where such data is unavailable, projections for SA2 areas from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied instead. The age-specific growth rates derived from these sources are also used for all locations between the years 2032 and 2041. Looking ahead to demographic trends, the methodology forecasts a general population contraction, with a projected loss of 10 persons across the locality by 2041. Conversely, expansion is predicted within particular age brackets, most notably the 25 to 34 age group, which is expected to rise by 79 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
79 new dwellings have been approved in Windang - Primbee over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, broadly in line with that longer-run average.

Detail
Approximately 15 new residential building approvals occur annually in Windang - Primbee, totaling 79 approvals throughout the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 15 during the current FY-26 period. In the context of a shrinking local population, this level of home building has been relatively sufficient, presenting a positive scenario for property purchasers, with the average construction cost for these new dwellings standing at $338,000. Additionally, commercial development remains a minor priority, evidenced by $3.9 million in commercial approvals registered so far this financial year. Compared to the Rest of NSW, new residential construction approvals per capita in Windang - Primbee run at about two-thirds the speed, placing the region in the 54th percentile of all examined locations nationwide.
Houses that are detached make up 67.0% of recent construction, while apartments or townhouses account for the remaining 33.0%, showing an increasing diversity of semi-detached and attached properties that provide choices for different budgets, ranging from roomy houses for families to compact, budget-friendly dwellings. The ratio of around 322 people for each approval highlights the low density character of Windang - Primbee. Faced with projections of flat or downward population trends, Windang - Primbee could see reduced demand for housing, which is likely to create advantageous purchasing opportunities for property buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Lake Illawarra Entrance Options Study
A two-stage study by Wollongong City Council and Shellharbour City Council, conducted by the UNSW Water Research Laboratory, to assess long-term management options for the Lake Illawarra entrance channel. Since the lake was permanently opened in 2007, erosion along the Windang foreshore, increased tidal range, seagrass and saltmarsh impacts, and undermining of jetties and boat ramps have become significant issues. More than 50 options were assessed and narrowed to a shortlist of five. In May 2025, both councils resolved to call on the NSW Government to resource and undertake a Strategic Business Case for a long-term solution, focusing on Option 4 (low rock barriers into the channel, estimated $145-240 million) and Option 5 (return to intermittent opening, estimated $35-70 million).Short and medium-term foreshore protection works at Windang are also being investigated under the NSW Coastal Management Program.
Lake Heights Public Preschool
A new co-located public preschool is under construction at Lake Heights Public School as part of the NSW Government's 100 public preschools program.

The Coastal Management Program targets estuary health, water pollution, and foreshore bank stabilization, featuring infrastructure works to manage entrance channel erosion and enhance the broader lake ecology.
Warrawong Plaza Redevelopment
A 1.1 billion dollar urban renewal project transforming Warrawong Plaza into a high-density mixed-use precinct. Following the site's rezoning in 2024 via the State Assessed Planning Proposal (SAPP) pathway, the development will deliver 1,300 new dwellings across 10-12 towers reaching up to 22 storeys (75m). The masterplan includes 10 percent affordable housing, a revitalized retail center with an eStore, and a new bus interchange. The project is integrated with the broader 32-hectare Warrawong Parklands Master Plan, finalized in March 2026, which introduces a 3,000 sqm public plaza, an Olympic-standard skate park, and a 320m wetland boardwalk to Lake Illawarra.
1,698 residents of Windang - Primbee are employed, from a labour force of 1,869. Unemployment sits at 9.1%, with participation at 51.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,547, about 84% 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 economy in Windang - Primbee is supported by a diverse workforce containing both blue and white collar positions, with a strong presence of workers in essential service industries, a jobless rate of 9.1%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.8% over the preceding year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,698, while the unemployment rate was 5.0% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, indicating potential for labor market strengthening, and the participation rate of 51.4% sits well below the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate 23.2% of the local workforce performed their jobs from home, although this figure should be interpreted in light of coronavirus restriction periods.
The major fields of employment for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. Construction stands out as a major specialty for the area, with a workforce share that is 1.3 times the Regional NSW benchmark. By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, employing just 0.6% of the workforce in Windang - Primbee compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. A comparison of the local jobs held by workers against the size of the working resident cohort suggests that the area offers few local employment opportunities. According to the analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the 12-month timeframe saw a 1.8% expansion in employment coupled with a 2.7% rise in the overall labor force, which led to a 0.8 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same interval, Regional NSW saw employment shrink by 0.9% and the labor force contract by 0.4%, while its unemployment rate ticked up by 0.5 percentage points. Predictions for future national employment published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a broader framework for understanding potential worker demand within Windang - Primbee. These five and ten-year national forecasts have been aligned with local workforce data to project potential growth trends. Globally, employment across Australia is projected to rise by 6.6% in five years and 13.7% in ten years, though these figures vary widely across individual sectors. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce structure indicates that employment in Windang - Primbee would grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not account for localized population trends).

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,239 at the 2021 Census → 4,226 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.
