This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations integrating broader ABS population revisions with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Austinmer has an estimated 2,671 residents as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2,725 count documented in the 2021 Census, this marks a drop of 54 people (2.0%). The current assessment builds upon an estimated resident population of 2,666 from the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 5 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Demographic density stands at 794 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader AreaSearch benchmark averages. In recent times, population additions were predominantly underpinned by net overseas arrivals, representing around 62.0% of local gains.
Projections compiled by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 dataset (using 2022 as a base), supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories are mapped across the area. Demographers anticipate expansion in the suburb of Austinmer to track marginally beneath national non-metropolitan medians, with collective SA2 projections indicating an increase of 215 persons by 2041, representing an overall expansion of 7.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
22 new dwellings have been approved in Austinmer over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of statistical area building approvals data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Austinmer has averaged approximately 4 approved residential dwellings per year, yielding roughly 22 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, no new approvals have been recorded. Given recent downward population shifts, this construction pace has maintained relative balance, which benefits purchasers. In addition, commercial approvals have reached $398,000 during the current financial year, underlining the dominant residential orientation of local development. Austinmer exhibits notably restrained building volume compared with Rest of NSW, trailing regional per-capita figures by 79.0%.
Such limited supply pipeline generally reinforces pricing power and buyer demand across established homes. Construction rates also sit below wider Australian averages, underscoring both planning limitations and the locality's established nature. Recent approvals consist of 67.0% standalone houses alongside 33.0% medium-to-high density formats, delivering a diverse spread of apartments and townhouses tailored for smaller households and entry price points alongside traditional family properties. This marks a clear shift from the prevailing dwelling stock (where houses represent 83.0%), reflecting land scarcity alongside changing demographic preferences and housing affordability needs. Projections from the latest quarterly AreaSearch models indicate that Austinmer will add 210 residents by 2041. If residential building activity stays at existing constrained levels, future supply may not keep pace with population expansion, which would likely heighten market competition and support upward price movement.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Electrify 2515 Community Pilot
The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot is an $11.8 million Australian-first initiative providing subsidies and expert support to 500 households across the 2515 and 2516 postcodes in northern Illawarra, NSW, to replace gas appliances with efficient electric alternatives, install smart energy management devices, and access home battery subsidies. Delivered by Rewiring Australia, Brighte, and Endeavour Energy with $5.4 million in ARENA funding, the project collects real-world data on consumer behaviour, grid impacts, and barriers to electrification to inform nationwide household energy transition policy.Stage one (60 homes) was completed by mid-2025. The main rollout of 440 homes is underway (September 2025 to August 2026). In March 2026, the pilot expanded southward into Bulli (2516 postcode), with more than 100 households now participating across Austinmer, Clifton, Coledale, Scarborough, Thirroul, Wombarra, and Bulli. Research and analysis continues until September 2027.
McCauley Lodge Redevelopment
The McCauley Lodge Redevelopment, approved by the Land and Environment Court in March 2025, involves the transformation of the former McCauley Lodge and Tasman Court sites into a modern seniors living precinct. The project delivers 38 independent living units (ILUs) across two locations: 18 units at 10 Tasman Parade and 20 units at 19-23 Tasman Parade. The development features 2-3 storey residential buildings, basement parking for residents and visitors, a swimming pool, and landscaped communal open spaces designed to foster community interaction.
Thirroul Plaza Redevelopment
Redevelopment of Thirroul Plaza into a mixed-use precinct combining residential apartments, an expanded Coles supermarket, additional retail and community spaces. A previous 82-apartment, six-tower proposal was rejected by the NSW Land and Environment Court in 2022. Developer Thirroul Plaza Developments Pty Ltd has engaged development manager SolidVoid to lead a community-inclusive master planning process. An 829-person Big Ideas Community Survey was completed in 2024 and workshops are underway. In early 2025 the developer lodged an Expression of Interest with the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) for State Significant Development status; this was deferred pending further information.A revised proposal with fewer apartments than the rejected scheme is expected to be submitted via either the HDA or an alternative planning pathway.
Bulli Hospital Site Redevelopment
Landcom is transforming the former 2.44 hectare Bulli Hospital site into a residential subdivision of approximately 50 homes, including freestanding houses, duplexes, terraces, and above-garage studios. Ten percent of homes are designated as affordable rental housing for low to moderate income households. The development features a new 2500sqm park, native landscaping with tiered rain gardens, stormwater retention basins, and 58 on-street parking spaces within a new internal street. The Southern Regional Planning Panel approved the subdivision DA in June 2025, demolition and remediation finished in early 2026, with earthworks and landscaping progressing.A revised DA for two-stage subdivision delivery was lodged in late 2025 due to boundary complexities.
Bulli Bypass Feasibility Study
Transport for NSW is undertaking a 20 million dollar investigation to extend Memorial Drive and bypass the Bulli town centre. Following extensive community consultation and technical reviews in late 2025, options involving tunnels or routes across the Illawarra Escarpment were excluded due to environmental impacts and terrain complexity. Planning now focuses on northern extension options along the existing transport corridor to improve traffic flow, safety, and network resilience.
Sandon Point Seniors Housing Development
Proposed seniors housing development at Sandon Point, Bulli by Anglicare Sydney. The concept includes a residential aged care facility, independent living units, communal facilities, services, access and car parking to support a retirement village community. The NSW Planning Portal lists SSD-68529462 with current status as SEARs Expired, indicating the most recent SSD process is not currently progressing through active assessment.
The Plaza Woonona Specialist Retail and Recreational Centre
A mixed-use specialist retail and recreational development featuring six individual retail spaces, a gymnasium, a health spa with a 25m swimming pool, and a 0-6 year old childcare centre. The facility includes secure basement parking with allocated spaces for each tenancy and visitor parking, ideally located along the Princes Highway with street access.
Woonona Place
IRT Group's Woonona Place is an approved seniors housing redevelopment of the existing IRT Woonona site. The project will deliver five buildings with 98 independent living units, new basement parking, additions and refurbishment to the Flametree Residential Care Services, a social and wellness centre with hydrotherapy and allied health spaces, a clubhouse, landscaped open spaces and adaptive reuse of the heritage church as a restaurant and community hub.
1,414 residents of Austinmer are employed, from a labour force of 1,453. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 66.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,175, about 81% 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
Workforce metrics synthesized by AreaSearch highlight an exceptionally qualified local labor pool in Austinmer, marked by prominent professional services engagement, an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, and an estimated 1.2% annual increase in employed persons. As of March 2026, 1,414 residents are employed, local joblessness sits 1.4% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, and labor participation reaches an elevated 66.5% versus 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records also showed 51.5% of working residents operating from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors supporting local workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The community displays pronounced industry concentration in education & training, generating a workforce proportion 1.8 times that of the surrounding region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.4% of resident employment compared to 5.3% regionally. The substantial gap between resident workers and local working population figures confirms that this predominantly residential suburb offers few internal employment opportunities. Examining aggregated ABS and SALM series, employment expanded by 1.2% over the 12 months to March 2026 while the labor pool grew by 1.7%, pushing unemployment higher by 0.4 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in total employment, a 0.4% decline in the workforce, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term outlooks can also be assessed through national Jobs and Skills Australia projections released in Mar-26. Across Australia, workforce growth is modeled at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When mapped onto Austinmer's local industry composition, these national trends project potential employment gains of 7.3% across five years and 14.8% over ten years (calculated as a weighted illustrative benchmark excluding specific localized 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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,725 at the 2021 Census → 2,671 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL10109). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
