Camillo

Camillo is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

Based on ABS population updates and AreaSearch validation, as of Nov 2025, Camillo's estimated population is around 4,925. This reflects an increase of 483 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,442. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 4,827 residents following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release (June 2024) and additional validation of 36 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 1,908 persons per square kilometer, above national averages assessed by AreaSearch. Camillo's population growth of 10.9% since the 2021 census exceeded the national average of 9.7%. Primary driver was interstate migration contributing approximately 55% 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 and years post-2032, growth rates by age cohort from ABS' Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) are utilized. Considering projected demographic shifts, the Camillo statistical area is expected to increase by 1,027 persons to 2041, reflecting a total increase of 24.4% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential approval activity sees Camillo among the top 30% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis shows Camillo had around 18 residential properties approved annually, with 92 homes approved between FY-21 and FY-25, and 35 so far in FY-26. This results in approximately 7.4 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past five financial years. Given this demand exceeds supply, it typically leads to price growth and increased buyer competition, with new homes being built at an average expected construction cost of $309,000.

There have been $134,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Perth, Camillo has substantially reduced construction activity, which is 65.0% below the regional average per person. This constrained new construction usually reinforces demand and pricing for existing homes, though recent construction activity has intensified. New development consists of 83.0% standalone homes and 17.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining Camillo's traditional suburban character focused on family homes appealing to those seeking space.

The location currently has approximately 213 people per dwelling approval, indicating room for growth. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Camillo is expected to grow by 1,201 residents through to 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.
