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.

Sales Detail
Blackmans Bay has an estimated 7,979 residents, up from 7,688 at the 2021 Census — a change of 291 people, or 3.8%. That puts 1,285 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
Drawing on ABS population revisions for the surrounding region alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Blackmans Bay has a projected residency of 7,979 as of May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 291 people (3.8%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 7,688 people. The shift is calculated from a resident population of 7,960, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release and 97 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting density stands at 1,284 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical level across Australian locations analysed by AreaSearch.
The 3.8% increase in the suburb of Blackmans Bay since the census is within 0.1 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (3.9%), indicating a competitive growth profile. This upward trend was largely fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 77.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas lacking this coverage, and to calculate demographic changes by age bracket after 2032, the Tasmanian State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2022 (with a 2021 baseline) are used, applying weighted aggregation to scale LGA trends to SA2 levels. Future projections suggest growth will align with the lowest quartile of Australian statistical territories, with the suburb of Blackmans Bay forecast to add 292 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level modeling, representing a total gain of 3.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
143 new dwellings have been approved in Blackmans Bay over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building permit statistics allocated to local statistical sectors reveals that Blackmans Bay averages roughly 28 dwellings approved for construction annually, accumulating to an estimated 143 homes over the last 5 financial years. During FY-26 to date, 10 approvals have been documented. With an average of 1.2 new residents per year moving in for each new home built between FY-21 and FY-25, supply and demand remain well aligned, fostering stable conditions. The average construction cost of these new properties is $613,000, pointing to a focus by developers on upscale, premium residences.
In addition, commercial development approvals total $311,000 for the current financial year, highlighting a low level of commercial building work. Compared to Greater Hobart, Blackmans Bay registers 13.0% less residential construction per capita, placing it in the 43rd percentile of locations evaluated across the country. This limits options for buyers, thereby reinforcing demand for established housing. Furthermore, recent building activity consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the suburban character of the area with a focus on spacious family homes. The ratio of approximately 379 people per dwelling approval reflects a highly consolidated residential market. Demographic forecasts suggest Blackmans Bay will add 273 residents by 2041 relative to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current building trends suggest the pipeline of new housing will easily accommodate this demand, creating favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially allowing population growth to outpace current projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Blackmans Bay Primary School Redevelopment and Expansion
Proposed redevelopment and expansion of Blackmans Bay Primary School to provide additional contemporary learning environments, upgraded administration facilities and shared school infrastructure to support future enrolment growth. As of the latest DECYP infrastructure program, the project is not listed among active funded capital works, indicating it remains a planning priority rather than an announced construction project.
Illawarra Rise Estate
A residential subdivision referenced in the hills above Blackmans Bay, near Roslyn Avenue and Illawarra Road, an already well-established coastal suburb of Kingborough south of Hobart. An extensive search of developer, council, and property-market sources could not locate a live, publicly documented masterplanned project of this name, scale, or dwelling count in Tasmania; Illawarra Road and Roslyn Avenue in Blackmans Bay are fully built-out established streets rather than a new land release. The urls and developer originally supplied for this record belong to an unrelated Wollongong, NSW real estate agency and have been removed.This record should be treated as unverified pending a primary source.
Blackmans Bay Bluff Specific Area Plan Review
Kingborough Council is progressing planning scheme work affecting Blackmans Bay, including the Blackmans Bay Bluff Specific Area Plan and related Landscape Conservation Zone review under the draft Local Provisions Schedule. The current focus is statutory planning controls, community engagement, resident surveys and Tasmanian Planning Commission hearings rather than a confirmed capital works redevelopment. The review seeks to guide use and development while balancing residential certainty, scenic coastal character, bushland and landscape values.
Tasmania Devils AFL High Performance Centre
A 115 million dollar high-performance training and administration facility for the Tasmania Devils AFL and AFLW teams at the Kingborough Sports Precinct. The state-of-the-art hub features a full gymnasium, recovery pools, infrared saunas, and an indoor training field.

Kings Quarter (Kingston Park Masterplan)
Kings Quarter is a multi-stage masterplanned community by Traders In Purple on the former Kingston High School site. Stages 1 and 2, including 142 homes and the residents Clubhouse, have been completed. The approved next residential stage comprises a six-storey park-front apartment building with around 50 apartments. Future stages will deliver additional housing together with retail, commercial, health and community facilities across the wider precinct.
Kings Quarter
Kings Quarter is a major mixed-use urban renewal project at Kingston Park on the former Kingston High School site, delivered by Traders in Purple with Kingborough Council's public open space program. Stage 1 Birch Row homes have sold and construction is complete, Hutchinson Builders completed a later 62-house and townhouse stage with the residents' clubhouse in 2024, and future precinct phases are planned to add retail, entertainment, commercial, health and community facilities.
Spring Farm Village
A $50 million next-generation retail precinct in Kingston, Tasmania, developed by Tipalea Partners. It features the largest Coles supermarket in Kingston at 4,200 sqm with drive-through click and collect, Chemist Warehouse's first regional superstore, a medical centre, outdoor dining, and over 15 specialty retailers. The centre includes sustainable features such as a full solar array, electric vehicle charging stations, free Wi-Fi, and cloud-based CCTV. Construction began in early 2025 and is expected to be completed by mid-2026, creating over 1,100 jobs during construction and operation.
Margate to Huntingfield Shared Pathway
Proposed off-road shared pathway for walking, wheeling and riding between Margate and Huntingfield. The jointly funded feasibility study has been completed and a preferred alignment identified. During 2024-25 preliminary design refinement was undertaken by Transport Services with Kingborough Council. As of July 2026, construction remains unfunded, while Kingborough Council is actively advocating for State and Federal funding and progression to detailed design.
4,168 residents of Blackmans Bay are employed, from a labour force of 4,271. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 63.9%. 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 6,080, about 76% 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 local workforce is characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in essential services, paired with an unemployment rate of only 2.4% and steady job numbers over the past year, according to statistical data aggregated by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 4,168 residents were employed, and the local unemployment rate was 2.0% lower than the Greater Hobart rate of 4.4%. Workforce participation matched the Greater Hobart rate of 63.8%. Census data indicates that a modest 12.1% of employees worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety. Educational institutions are a key specialization, representing an employment share 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, retail trade accounts for only 7.9% of the workforce, which is below the 9.6% recorded for Greater Hobart. The highly residential nature of the locality means it offers few jobs internally, as shown by comparing the count of local workers to the resident workforce. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the latest 12-month period saw employment rise by 0.1% while the labour force expanded by 0.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This compares to Greater Hobart, where employment fell by 0.1%, the workforce grew by 0.2%, and unemployment climbed 0.3 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a guide for future workforce needs in Blackmans Bay. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce structure. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by industry. Mapping these projections onto the local employment mix suggests jobs held by residents will increase by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a simple weighting extrapolation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 97 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,688 at the 2021 Census → 7,979 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL60051). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
