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.

Detail
According to calculations by AreaSearch, the population of Rostrevor - Magill stands at approximately 26,342 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,374 individuals (9.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 23,968 residents. This shift is calculated from the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 26,237 combined with 294 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 2,650 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb in the top quartile of all Australian locations analyzed. The area's 9.9% rate of growth since the 2021 census outpaced the state average of 7.5% as well as the surrounding SA3 region, establishing it as a local growth hotspot.
This expansion was largely powered by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 95.6% of the population increase in recent times. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for each SA2. For localities not represented in that release, or for projections extending past 2032, regional and LGA age-cohort projections published by the SA State Government in 2023 using 2021 data are applied, using weighted aggregation to scale LGA-level growth down to the SA2 boundaries. Looking ahead, the suburb is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median, with estimates indicating an expansion of 5,241 individuals by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 19.5% over the 16 years.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Campbelltown Performing Arts Centre
A proposed community performing arts centre (PAC) forming part of Campbelltown City Council's 'Creating our Community Heart' project at 172 Montacute Road. Following community consultation in late 2025, Council resolved to prioritise the construction of a new Council Office first, with the PAC to be explored as a potential future development stage. The venue was previously envisioned as a 500-seat theatre to support local creatives, diverse performances, and civic events.
Campbelltown Performing Arts Centre
Regional performing arts centre proposed in partnership between Campbelltown City Council and the South Australian Department for Education. The concept includes a 350-500 seat proscenium theatre, orchestra pit, gallery foyer, rehearsal rooms, backstage facilities and sustainable design. Following feasibility studies and concept design, Council has continued planning work while also investigating integration with broader civic precinct planning. The project has not yet commenced construction.
Magill Campus Renewal Project
The transformation of the 14.62-hectare former UniSA Magill Campus into a green, sustainable residential neighbourhood. The project is being delivered in two stages: an Eastern parcel (3 hectares) planned for 100 homes and aged care starting in 2027, and a larger Western parcel (11 hectares) focused on retaining over 60 percent open space, heritage preservation of Murray House, and the Third Creek biodiversity corridor. The Western stage is delayed until at least 2033-34 due to an existing university lease.
Campbelltown Community Heart - New Council Office
Following extensive community consultation in late 2025, Campbelltown City Council resolved in December 2025 to proceed with a new, fit-for-purpose Council Office at the existing precinct at 172 Montacute Road, Rostrevor (Option A). The 1968 office building is outdated, overcrowded and no longer fit for purpose. A PAC was deferred as a potential second stage, to be explored after the new office is delivered. The Alinea Group was engaged to develop concept models for the site.Detailed planning is now underway. The project is part of Council's broader Creating our Community Heart vision for the Montacute Road precinct.
Magill 5 Units Luxury Townhouse Project
A boutique development of 5 contemporary townhouses in Magill by Dragonwheel Investment Group. The site is near The Gums Reserve with convenient access to Norwood Parade and Firle Plaza.

emPowering Magill Community Battery
Community-scale battery installed at Tuku Wirra Reserve, Magill, as part of the South Australian Government's emPowering SA program. Owned by the SA Government and operated by AGL within a Virtual Power Plant, the 150 kW / 405 kWh system supports eligible SA Housing Trust households with discounted energy plans (around 25% below the default market offer).
Chain of Trails Master Plan
A strategic master plan endorsed by the City of Campbelltown in 2014 to guide staged upgrades to around 10 km of creek line trails along Third, Fourth and Fifth Creeks, creating a safer and more accessible trail network from the foothills to the River Torrens Linear Park. The plan addresses existing conditions, access and safety issues, proposing new alignments, materials, furniture, biodiversity improvements, and upgraded signage. Implementation continues through multiple staged projects; the Fourth Creek Morialta Parri Trail upgrade at Denis Morrissey Park, Hectorville, was officially launched in February 2024, co-funded by the SA Government Planning and Development Fund Open Space Grant Program ($225,000).Further works are funded through Councils open space strategy and annual business plans.
14,434 residents of Rostrevor - Magill are employed, from a labour force of 14,882. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 67.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 21,028, about 80% 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 workforce in Rostrevor - Magill is highly qualified, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate sitting at just 3.0%, and annual employment growth estimated at 5.4%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 14,434, while the unemployment rate remained 0.8% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. The labor force participation rate aligns closely with the 66.6% recorded across Greater Adelaide. Census data indicates that a modest 12.3% of workers operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic-related restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The workforce shows a distinct concentration in professional & technical fields, where the employment proportion is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 5.5% of jobs, compared to 7.0% throughout Greater Adelaide. A comparison of local jobs to resident workers indicates that this is a predominantly residential suburb with relatively few employment opportunities situated within its boundaries. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, the number of employed residents rose by 5.4% while the labor force expanded by 5.1%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2% and the labor force increase by 4.0%, with unemployment also dropping by 0.2 percentage points. Employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future opportunities. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will perform differently. Applying these industry projections to the local employment distribution suggests that Rostrevor - Magill's workforce could grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not account for specific local population shifts.

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 — 294 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (23,968 at the 2021 Census → 26,342 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.
