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
In the suburb of Basin View, the resident count stands at approximately 1,556 as of Aug 2026, calculated by AreaSearch using updated regional ABS figures along with 2 validated new addresses identified following the Census. This total denotes a reduction of 27 people (1.7%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 1,583 people, drawing upon June 2025 ABS ERP data releases. The local population density settles at 221 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial open room for prospective expansion. Net overseas arrivals served as the primary demographic driver recently, generating around 77.0% of total local population additions.
Population forecasting by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models (with a 2022 baseline), supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government projections (using 2021 as a base), extending age-bracket trajectories through 2032 to 2041 across all SA2 regions. For the suburb of Basin View, future growth is projected to rank in the upper quartile of regional Australia, expanding by 338 persons to 2041 via aggregated SA2 estimations to produce an overall 16-year increase of 21.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential construction in the locality remains minimal, registering an average of 3 approvals per year for a five-year aggregate of 17 dwellings. This subdued pace aligns with standard regional trends where building volumes are governed by local demand and available infrastructure, meaning annual percentages and comparisons may fluctuate noticeably due to isolated builds. Building volumes in the area lag well behind both national metrics and the broader Rest of NSW benchmark. Furthermore, all recent residential projects have consisted exclusively of detached houses, catering to the customary rural demand for standalone properties offering personal space.
According to the latest quarterly AreaSearch figures, the area is slated to expand by 338 residents through to 2041. With building approvals running at their existing modest levels, local housing delivery could face pressure meeting population growth, which may heighten buyer demand and encourage upward price movement.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Princes Highway Upgrade - Jervis Bay Road to Sussex Inlet Road
A 20-kilometre upgrade to the Princes Highway between Jervis Bay Road and Sussex Inlet Road to improve safety and freight efficiency on the NSW South Coast. Stage One covers a 6.5-kilometre section from Jervis Bay Road to Hawken Road, prioritised as the highest-urgency stage. It involves upgrading to four lanes (two in each direction) separated by a median barrier, an intersection upgrade at Hawken Road connecting to Blackbutt Range Road via an underpass, plus service roads and wildlife connectivity measures.The Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and concept design were released on 14 May 2026 and are on public display until 19 June 2026, funded jointly by the Australian and NSW governments at $500 million. The Hawken Road to Sussex Inlet Road section remains in planning and is unfunded.
Mixed Use Development with In-Fill Affordable Housing, St Georges Basin
Proposed mixed-use master-planned community precinct featuring 90 dwellings (42 market, 31 affordable rental, and 17 boarding house rooms), 327m2 of non-residential floor space for commercial and retail, co-working space, internal laneways, and a dedicated public pocket park. The development provides 29.5 percent affordable housing and is a State Significant Development Application (SSD-69683218).
Village Grove
Masterplanned residential community within the St Georges Basin Town Centre on a 15-acre site, balancing housing diversity, commercial uses, and ecological responsibility. Stage 1 is in construction planning for 21 Defence Housing Australia homes. Stage 2 includes a State Significant Development application proposing a major new residential precinct with medium-density housing and public open space.
Bay and Basin NSW Ambulance Station
The upgrade and reconfiguration of the Bay and Basin NSW Ambulance Station was delivered as part of Stage 1 of the NSW Government's Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) Program. This initiative enhanced emergency services across regional NSW by providing modern, purpose-built facilities for paramedics. The program focus included internal parking for emergency vehicles, administration areas, and improved staff amenities to meet growing local health needs.
Tahnee Street Residential Development
Approved development site for a 90-place childcare centre and 12 townhouses in Sanctuary Point, offering a blend of community amenity and housing in a rapidly growing area.
New Sanctuary Point Library
Shoalhaven City Council is delivering a new district library at the corner of Paradise Beach Road and Kerry Street in Sanctuary Point, replacing the undersized existing branch that marked its 30-year anniversary in May 2025 and serving more than 30,000 residents across the Bay and Basin communities. After the April 2025 decision to abandon the Kerry Street corner over parking concerns, Council reinstated the site at its 28 October 2025 meeting and in November 2025 endorsed a single-storey building of approximately 1,000 sqm gross floor area, inspired by Warilla Library, in place of the earlier two-storey scheme.In April 2026 the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure confirmed the $7.5 million federal Priority Community Infrastructure Program grant was tied to the original $30 million two-storey design and could not be varied to the cheaper single-storey option. At its Ordinary Meeting on 29 June 2026 Council resolved (7-6) to borrow up to $14.4 million phased over four years to fund delivery, against a feasibility cost estimate of about $14.9 million, and to keep pursuing state and federal contributions. A rescission motion at an extraordinary meeting the following night was defeated 6-7, leaving in place an added direction for staff to investigate building on two rather than four of the council-owned Kerry Street lots, which triggers a further feasibility study due by 30 June 2027. Remaining phases are detailed design and technical investigations, development application and consent, business case review, construction documentation, tender and construction certificate, after which the project is considered shovel-ready. Council lists an estimated completion date of 31 December 2030, with an end-2029 opening possible if the loan drawdown schedule holds.
Sussex Inlet Golf Village

Over 50% of the site is reserved for bushland and wildlife. Three precincts - Northwood, Jacob's Range and Badgee's Reach - are being delivered across multiple staged releases, with civil construction well advanced and later releases progressing through registration.
Paradise Beach Road and Kingsford Smith Crescent Roundabout
Installation of a single lane mountable roundabout to improve road safety and traffic flow.
644 residents of Basin View are employed, from a labour force of 668. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 50.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,363, about 88% 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
A balanced mix of blue-collar and white-collar roles characterizes the local labour market, supported by strong representation across essential services and a low unemployment rate of 3.6%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 644, with local unemployment sitting 0.5% beneath the 4.1% seen in Regional NSW, though labour participation of 50.5% trails the regional benchmark of 60.6%. Census data also indicated that 11.2% of workers were based at home, a figure influenced by pandemic conditions. Workforce concentration is highest in construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Construction shows an exceptionally strong footprint at 1.7 times the regional norm, whereas agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of local jobs compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW.
A comparison of Census workplace figures against resident worker counts suggests limited local job availability within the community itself. Over the past 12-month span, regional SALM and ABS data indicate that local labour force expanded by 0.5% alongside a 1.5% decrease in employed persons, lifting the unemployment rate by 1.9 percentage points. Conversely, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in jobs, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-range projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 point to broader job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. When mapped to the local industry distribution, projected employment growth sits at 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years based on weighted sectoral extrapolation.

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,583 at the 2021 Census → 1,556 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.
