Development

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, shows Beldon experienced around 670 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 3,351 homes. As of FY-26311 approvals have been recorded. This indicates an average of approximately 5 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, suggesting demand outpaces supply, which typically influences prices upwards and increases buyer competition. Developers target the premium market segment with higher-end properties, as new dwellings are developed at an average value of $723,000.

This financial year has seen $381.4 million in commercial approvals registered, indicating robust local business investment. Compared to Rest of WA, Beldon records 81% more construction activity per person, offering buyers greater choice. New building activity comprises 97% detached houses and 3% attached dwellings, preserving the area's suburban nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. This represents a shift from the existing housing stock, which is currently 176% houses, indicating decreasing availability of developable sites and reflecting changing lifestyles and demand for more diverse, affordable housing options.
