AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Beverley among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Beverley has recorded approximately 94 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, a total of 471 homes were approved, with an additional 78 approved so far in FY-26. This results in an average of 2.4 new residents per year for each dwelling over these five financial years, reflecting strong demand that supports property values.

The average construction cost value of new homes being built is $210,000, which is below regional norms, indicating more affordable housing options for purchasers. In FY-26 alone, there have been $328.0 million in commercial approvals, demonstrating robust commercial development momentum. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Beverley shows moderately higher development activity, with 22.0% above the regional average per person over the five-year period. This maintains good buyer choice while supporting existing property values.

New development consists of 56.0% standalone homes and 44.0% attached dwellings, featuring an increasing blend of attached housing types offering choices across price ranges from spacious family homes to more compact options. This represents a notable shift from the area's existing housing composition, which is currently 75.0% houses, indicating decreasing availability of developable sites and reflecting changing lifestyles and demand for diverse, affordable housing options. With around 101 people per approval, Beverley reflects a developing area. Population forecasts indicate Beverley will gain approximately 2,105 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.
