Detail
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Boambee East's population is estimated at around 5,365 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 61 people (1.2%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,304 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 5,361, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 9 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,465 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. the suburb of Boambee East's 1.2% growth since census positions it within 2.5 percentage points of the SA3 area (3.7%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 71.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Projections for each SA2 region from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline, are utilized. For any SA2 localities missing from this dataset, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, issued in 2022 with a 2021 base, are adopted. Growth rates across age brackets from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Evaluating these anticipated demographic changes, the projections suggest a downward trajectory for the overall population, with the local cohort expected to contract by 285 individuals by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is forecast for particular age groups, led by those aged 85 and over, which is set to rise by 75 individuals. The age section provides further detail.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
21 new dwellings have been approved in Boambee East over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, well below that longer-run average.

Detail
According to analysis of ABS residential building approvals mapped from statistical datasets, the suburb of Boambee East has recorded an average of approximately 4 new home approvals annually, compiling an estimated 21 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 2 approvals have been documented. With an average of only 0.3 new residents annually per built dwelling over the last 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), the incoming supply matches or outpaces demand, providing buyers with abundant options and building capacity for demographic growth beyond current predictions.
Meanwhile, new residences carry an average construction value of $505,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end, premium projects. Furthermore, commercial building approvals valued at $1.6 million have been registered this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the locality. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, the suburb of Boambee East displays a much lower level of residential construction, sitting 81.0% below the regional per capita average. This minimal supply of new housing generally bolsters demand and valuations for the existing property stock. This rate also sits below the nationwide average, reflecting the established status of the locality and suggesting potential planning limitations. Meanwhile, new building activity has consisted entirely of detached houses, preserving the classic suburban character with family-oriented layouts suited to buyers wanting space. Averaging 3564 residents per single approval, the suburb of Boambee East presents as a mature, developed locality. Given that the population is projected to remain steady or contract, the suburb of Boambee East is likely to experience less pressure on its housing stock, which could open up opportunities for prospective buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Boambee East Residential Subdivision
A proposed two-stage residential subdivision creating 70 residential lots comprising 63 Torrens Title lots and 7 Community Title housing lots, with concept approval for 70 dwellings. Stage 1 includes construction of an access road via Bruce King Drive, demolition of two existing dwellings, a fire trail lot, and a residue lot to be dedicated to Council. The development has faced significant community opposition due to concerns about clearing approximately 4,600 square meters of native vegetation including 3,000 square meters of Prime Koala Habitat, threatened ecological communities, and impacts on community land surrounding the Boambee East Community Centre.
95 on First Townhouses (Sea Esta)
'95 on First' will comprise of six modern 3-bedroom townhouses, offering low-maintenance, beachside living. The complex is positioned approximately 150 metres from Sawtell Beach and 250 metres from the village centre, with driveway entry via Kidd Lane. Construction is estimated to commence towards the end of 2025.
Toormina Oval Upgrade
The Toormina Oval Upgrade delivers an expanded sporting precinct featuring an additional football pitch, an upgraded carpark, a connecting footbridge, and new concrete footpaths. The project enhances community access and capacity for local football clubs and recreational users across Coffs Harbour.
Elements at Coffs
Elements at Coffs is a quality residential land release estate located just off Stadium Drive on the eastern side of the Pacific Highway in Coffs Harbour. Positioned halfway between Coffs Harbour and Sawtell, it offers generous reserves and open spaces. The development is actively selling Stage 4 and provides convenient access to the airport, health campus, education facilities, and shopping centres.
North Boambee Valley (East) Release Area

The development includes neighbourhood parks, walking trails, stormwater detention systems, collector roads with cycleways, koala habitat management zones, and community facilities. Developer contributions fund essential infrastructure including roads, parks, environmental protection measures, and flood mitigation systems. The completed Lakes Estate offers established residential lots with lake frontages and district views.
Sawtell Pool Upgrade Project
City of Coffs Harbour continues to retain the Sawtell Pool Upgrade as a planned future project. The concept design includes a new eight-lane 25 metre pool with an accessible lane, a heated learn-to-swim pool, splash pad, new amenities building, cafe, improved accessibility and sustainable building features. Following the earlier funding setback, the project remains at concept design stage and is listed by Council as an unfunded future capital project pending external funding.
Wonga Park Sawtell Playground Renewal
Renewal of the existing Wonga Playground at the corner of First and Third Avenue in Sawtell, replacing ageing equipment with a new climbing structure, slide, swings and bouncers, a shelter, picnic tables, and stone block retaining walls and seating. The new playground was relocated slightly east of the existing BBQ shelter, away from the tree canopy, to protect the surrounding littoral rainforest ecosystem. The existing playground and amenities block remained open throughout construction. Funded by the City of Coffs Harbour at a cost of $200,000, the project was completed on 15 September 2025.
Coffs Harbour Airport Enterprise Park
Coffs Harbour Airport Enterprise Park is a commercial and industrial employment precinct within Coffs Harbour Airport. The first phase was completed in early 2021, delivering 10 serviced lots and road, drainage and services works. The current program is focused on rezoning and future development of a 98-lot, 23-hectare leasable commercial, aviation, industrial and mixed-use employment hub intended to address industrial land shortages and support regional jobs and investment.
2,338 residents of Boambee East are employed, from a labour force of 2,415. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 55.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,235, about 79% 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 community possesses a skilled labor force, with significant representation in essential service industries, a jobless rate of just 3.2%, and stable employment patterns over the previous year, according to statistical data aggregated for the area. In March 2026, there were 2,338 employed residents, representing an unemployment rate 0.9% lower than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, whereas labor force participation is notably lower, registering at 55.2% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records indicate a minor 8.9% of the workforce operated from home, though the influence of COVID-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
Resident jobs are heavily concentrated in the sectors of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. The locality exhibits a clear specialization in health care & social assistance, where the employment share is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented, accounting for 0.8% of local jobs compared to 5.3% regionally. The heavily residential character of the area appears to limit local job options, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population. Based on local analysis of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from broader areas, the 12 months ending March 2026 saw employment grow by 0.3% while the labor force shrank by 0.2%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. This stands in contrast to Regional NSW, which saw a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Nationwide employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide context for future labor demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been compared to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary greatly by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce composition suggests employment for residents should rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and excludes local population trends.

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,304 at the 2021 Census → 5,365 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.
