Aveley

Aveley lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, Aveley's estimated population is around 17,157 as of November 2025. This reflects an increase of 3,159 people (22.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 13,998 people. The change is inferred from the resident population estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 173 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,812 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Aveley's growth of 22.6% since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (9.7%), along with the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 45.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and to estimate growth across all areas in the years post-2032, AreaSearch is utilising the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking at population projections moving forward, a significant population increase in the top quartile of Australian statistical areas is forecast for Aveley. The area is expected to grow by 5,155 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 28.2% in total over the 17 years.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data indicates Aveley averaged approximately 168 new dwelling approvals per year. Between financial years FY-21 to FY-25, an estimated 843 homes were approved, with a further 2 approved so far in FY-26. This results in an average of 4.4 new residents arriving per dwelling constructed over the past five financial years.

Consequently, demand significantly exceeds new supply, typically leading to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction value for new properties is $385,000, slightly above the regional average, suggesting a focus on quality developments. In FY-26, $3.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating Aveley's residential character. Compared to Greater Perth, Aveley maintains similar development levels per person, preserving market balance consistent with the broader area.

This activity is substantially higher than national averages, suggesting strong developer confidence in the location. 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 suited to buyers seeking space. As of current approvals, Aveley indicates approximately 548 people per approval, suggesting a mature market. AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate projects Aveley to grow by 4,846 residents through to 2041. Based on current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.
