Sales Detail
Bilgola Plateau has an estimated 3,652 residents. That puts 2,627 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region combined with new address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Bilgola Plateau has a population estimated at 3,652 as of May 2026. This represents a minor rise of 2 people (0.1%) from the 2021 Census, which registered 3,650 residents. This shift is calculated from the resident population of 3,652, which AreaSearch estimated using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with 6 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,627 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
The post-census expansion rate of 0.1% in the suburb of Bilgola Plateau is within 2.4 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (2.5%), showing competitive growth indicators. The primary driver of population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 68.0% of the total population gains in recent times. In its projections, AreaSearch incorporates the ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 region published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where these figures are unavailable, AreaSearch relies on the 2022 NSW State Government SA2 projections that use 2021 as their base year. Age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are projected forward for the period from 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic transformations, growth in the suburb of Bilgola Plateau is projected to rank in the lowest quartile of statistical areas nationwide, with an estimated rise of 63 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 data, representing an overall increase of 1.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
50 new dwellings have been approved in Bilgola Plateau over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An evaluation of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch, distributed from statistical area statistics, shows that the suburb of Bilgola Plateau averaged about 10 new home approvals per year, resulting in approximately 50 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, no approvals have been recorded. Because the local population has been declining, this incoming housing supply has likely satisfied demand, providing prospective buyers with adequate options, while new residential properties carry an average construction value of $1,012,000, pointing to a developer focus on high-end, premium properties. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $42,000 have been logged during this financial year, which points to negligible commercial building activity.
In comparison to Greater Sydney, construction rates per resident in the suburb of Bilgola Plateau are tracking at a similar pace, maintaining a market balance that matches the surrounding region. This volume sits below the national benchmark, which reflects the mature character of the suburb of Bilgola Plateau and indicates potential zoning constraints. The breakdown of recent residential construction is split between 50.0% detached dwellings and 50.0% attached dwellings. Concentrating on multi-unit options yields more accessible price levels for entry-level buyers, downsizers, and investors. This represents a major shift from the existing dwelling profile, which is currently made up of 98.0% houses, showing that development sites are scarce and highlighting changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. Recorded at roughly 7300 people per approval, the suburb of Bilgola Plateau stands out as an established, built-out area. Demographic projections indicate that the suburb of Bilgola Plateau will add 63 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Given current construction volumes, residential additions should satisfy this demand, maintaining favorable conditions for purchasers while potentially supporting growth that outpaces current predictions.

1,962 residents of Bilgola Plateau are employed, from a labour force of 2,033. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 67.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,023, about 83% 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
The suburb of Bilgola Plateau has a highly qualified labor force, particularly characterized by strong representation in technology fields, an unemployment rate of just 3.5%, and steady job numbers over the past year, according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 1,962 employed residents, while the local unemployment rate was 0.6% below the Greater Sydney level of 4.1%, and participation in the labor force aligned closely with the metropolitan rate of 69.1%. Census records show that a significant 53.1% of working residents performed their jobs from home, although this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical services, healthcare & social assistance, and construction. The workforce is highly specialized in professional & technical fields, which employ residents at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing roles are underrepresented, accounting for only 2.5% of workers in the suburb of Bilgola Plateau compared to 5.3% in Greater Sydney. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population indicates that this mostly residential locality provides limited local job opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical area indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment grew by 0.2% while the labor force expanded by 1.0%, causing unemployment to rise by 0.8 percentage points. For comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9% and its labor force grow by 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future demand patterns in the suburb of Bilgola Plateau. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future growth. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely by sector. Weighting these projections against the employment profile of the suburb of Bilgola Plateau suggests local jobs should grow by 7.0% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation that does not factor in local population changes.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,650 at the 2021 Census → 3,652 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 May 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.
