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.

Fannie Bay - The Gardens has an estimated 4,037 residents, up from 3,602 at the 2021 Census — a change of 435 people, or 12.1%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 97.5% of that increase. That puts 1,030 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to research by AreaSearch, Fannie Bay - The Gardens has a population of approximately 4,037 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 435 people (12.1%) from the 3,602 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,037 as of June 2025 alongside 49 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,029 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical levels across regions monitored by AreaSearch. Surpassing the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, the 12.1% population increase since the 2021 census positions Fannie Bay - The Gardens as a leading growth market locally.
The vast majority of recent population additions were generated by overseas migration, which made up around 97.5% of total net gains. Population projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point. To address SA2 areas outside that coverage and assess demographic shifts beyond 2032, AreaSearch integrates age-cohort growth estimates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 (utilizing 2022 figures). Looking forward, the locality is slated to outperform the national median growth rate, gaining an estimated 524 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which equals an overall rise of 13.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
26 new dwellings have been approved in Fannie Bay - The Gardens over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.3 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
Over the past 5 financial years, residential approvals in Fannie Bay - The Gardens have averaged roughly 5 dwellings per year, reaching 26 homes overall. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 10.1 people arrived annually for each newly constructed residence, creating a notable shortfall between supply and demand that tends to intensify buyer competition and elevate prices. Concurrently, newly approved dwellings show an average expected construction value of $1,090,000, illustrating an emphasis among builders on higher-end, luxury housing. In addition, commercial development activity has been restrained, with $4.8 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year.
Per capita building activity across Fannie Bay - The Gardens outpaces Greater Darwin by 89.0%, providing greater variety to prospective purchasers. Nevertheless, it remains below the broader Australian rate, signaling an established urban fabric alongside potential development constraints. Approvals comprise 80.0% detached dwellings and 20.0% medium and high-density housing, reinforcing the neighborhood's suburban environment with an orientation toward detached properties that appeal to buyers desiring space. Furthermore, builders are delivering freestanding residences at a higher proportion than the existing 28.0% Census share, highlighting ongoing preference for traditional family residences despite densification trends. The area records around 613 people per dwelling approval, underscoring its mature residential profile. Projections indicate that Fannie Bay - The Gardens will add 524 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. Should building continue at its current pace, new dwelling construction could fall short of demographic expansion, likely driving stronger buyer demand and reinforcing upward pressure on prices.

2,450 residents of Fannie Bay - The Gardens are employed, from a labour force of 2,484. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 71.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 pool in Fannie Bay - The Gardens is well-educated, supported by solid representation across vital service sectors, an unemployment level of only 1.4%, and consistent employment stability over the preceding year. There were 2,450 residents employed as of March 2026, with an unemployment rate sitting 2.1% lower than the 3.5% reported for Greater Darwin, while labour participation closely tracks the regional benchmark of 72.9%. Census responses show that 6.5% of workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors among local workers are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical.
The professional & technical category exhibits an especially strong concentration, recording a resident workforce proportion 1.6 times that of the broader region. By comparison, construction claims a smaller share at 6.1%, trailing the regional benchmark of 9.2%. A comparison of local jobs to working residents suggests that a considerable number of workers commute outside the district for work, even with local opportunities present. An examination of ABS and SALM figures by AreaSearch reveals that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.4% and the labour force expanded by 0.7%, resulting in an unemployment uptick of 0.3 percentage points. Across Greater Darwin over the same timeframe, employment rose by 0.4% alongside an 0.8% increase in the labour force, matching the 0.3 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment demand can be evaluated using national industry projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Projected nationwide employment growth is 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across industries. Weighting these sectoral expectations against the existing job distribution of Fannie Bay - The Gardens indicates local employment could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this reflects a baseline weighting model for demonstration rather than specific local demographic forecasts).

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 — 49 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,602 at the 2021 Census → 4,037 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.
