Beecroft

Population growth drivers in Beecroft are slightly above average based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium term trends

As of November 2025, the population of the Beecroft statistical area (Lv2) is estimated at around 10,677, reflecting an increase of 386 people since the 2021 Census. This growth represents a 3.8% change from the previous population count of 10,291. The increase is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of the resident population at 10,473 in June 2024, based on analysis of the latest ERP data release by the ABS, along with an additional 16 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 2,085 persons per square kilometer, which is higher than the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The primary driver for this growth was overseas migration, contributing approximately 88.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, lower quartile growth is anticipated across statistical areas nationally. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the Beecroft (SA2) area is expected to increase by 294 persons by 2041, reflecting a total gain of 1.5% over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Beecroft according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Beecroft had approximately 32 dwelling approvals annually. Between financial years 2021 and 2025, around 160 homes were approved, with an additional 16 in the current financial year 2026. On average, 0.9 new residents arrived per new home over these five years.

This indicates that new construction is meeting or exceeding demand, providing more options for buyers and potentially driving population growth beyond current projections. The average expected construction cost of new dwellings was $628,000, suggesting developers are targeting the premium market segment with higher-end properties.

In financial year 2026, $5.7 million in commercial approvals have been registered, reflecting Beecroft's predominantly residential character. New development consists of 68% detached houses and 32% attached dwellings, including a growing mix of townhouses and apartments offering options across different price points. The location has approximately 309 people per dwelling approval, indicating a low-density market. Future projections estimate Beecroft to add 158 residents by 2041 (based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current construction levels, housing supply is expected to meet demand adequately, creating favorable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
