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.

Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 97.5% of that increase. That puts 1,030 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Fannie Bay - The Gardens stands at approximately 4,037 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 435 individuals (12.1%) from the 3,602 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 4,037 from June 2025 alongside 49 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,029 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical figures across areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The 12.1% expansion rate of Fannie Bay - The Gardens since the 2021 census outpaced the national benchmark of 9.3%, positioning the suburb as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this population increase was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 97.5% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and to calculate projections beyond 2032, AreaSearch applies cohort-specific growth rates from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023, utilizing 2022 data. Following these demographic trajectories, the area is projected to experience population growth above the national median, gaining 540 residents by 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, which translates to a total increase of 13.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
24 new dwellings have been approved in Fannie Bay - The Gardens over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Approvals for new dwellings in Fannie Bay - The Gardens run at approximately 4 per year, with a total of 24 residential approvals granted over the last 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, and 5 recorded so far in FY-26. Because an average of 10.9 new residents have arrived for every dwelling built over the past 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outstrips new additions, a trend that typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition. The average construction value of these new dwellings is $764,000, indicating developers are targeting the premium, high-end segment of the market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $4.8 million this financial year, reinforcing the predominantly residential profile of the neighborhood. Building activity per person in Fannie Bay - The Gardens is 59.0% higher than in Greater Darwin, providing prospective purchasers with a broader range of options. However, this volume is below the national rate, suggesting a mature property market and potential development constraints. Newly approved housing is composed of 75.0% standalone houses and 25.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining a suburban layout dominated by detached properties that attract buyers looking for extra space. This preference for detached homes in new construction is stronger than historical patterns indicate, such as the 28.0% recorded at the Census, highlighting persistent demand for family residences despite density pressure. With approximately 2226 individuals per dwelling approval, Fannie Bay - The Gardens displays the characteristics of a highly established market. Projecting forward, Fannie Bay - The Gardens is expected to add 540 residents by 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly calculations. Given the current pace of construction, housing delivery may not keep up with population expansion, which could exacerbate buyer competition and support upward pressure on prices.

Detail
The local workforce in Fannie Bay - The Gardens is highly qualified, with a strong presence in essential services, a very low unemployment rate of 1.4%, and stable employment levels over the prior year. In March 2026, there were 2,450 employed residents, with an unemployment rate 2.1% lower than the 3.5% average for Greater Darwin, while workforce participation corresponds closely to the 72.7% recorded across Greater Darwin. Census data indicates that only 6.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The major employment sectors for residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical. The locality exhibits a notable concentration in professional & technical services, with a share that is 1.6 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, construction is underrepresented at 6.1% compared to the regional rate of 9.2%. Although there are local jobs available, the ratio of Census workers to the resident population suggests a large portion of the community travels to other areas for work.

These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Weighting these national sector projections against the local employment profile suggests employment in Fannie Bay - The Gardens could grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, representing a simple calculation for illustration that does not incorporate local population 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 May 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 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.
