Interstate migration contributed approximately 45.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration being positive factors. AreaSearch's projections for Aveley are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, and ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data for areas not covered by the former.

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

AreaSearch analysis shows Aveley averaged around 167 new dwelling approvals per year. Between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 838 homes were approved, with an additional 2 so far in FY-26. Each year, about 4.5 new residents arrive per dwelling constructed during these five financial years.

This demand exceeds supply, typically leading to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction cost of new properties is $385,000, aligning with regional trends. In FY-26, $3.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating Aveley's residential character. Compared to Greater Perth, Aveley has similar development levels per person, maintaining market balance consistent with the broader area.

This activity is notably higher than national averages, suggesting strong developer confidence in the location. The new building activity comprises 91.0% detached dwellings and 9.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining Aveley's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes. As of current approvals, Aveley indicates around 463 people per approval, reflecting a mature market. By 2041, AreaSearch estimates Aveley's population to grow by 5,064 residents. Based on current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating further population growth beyond current projections.
