Sales Detail
Campsie has an estimated 28,225 residents, up from 26,132 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,093 people, or 8.0%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. 216 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 92.0% of that increase. That puts 8,425 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
Following an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Campsie is estimated to be approximately 28,225 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,093 people (8.0%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 26,132 residents. The shift is calculated from a resident population of 28,195, projected by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with an additional 216 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population size results in a density of 8,425 persons per square kilometer, placing the location within the top 10% of all national areas analysed by AreaSearch and highlighting local land as an extremely high-demand resource.
The 8.0% expansion in the suburb of Campsie since the 2021 Census outpaced both the SA3 area (5.2%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth leader. This population rise was largely fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 92.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 areas lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level from 2022 (using 2021 as the baseline) are utilized. Growth rates across different age cohorts from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic developments, the suburb of Campsie is anticipated to experience population growth slightly below the national median, increasing by 2,647 residents by 2041 according to collective SA2-level projections, which represents a total increase of 9.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
173 new dwellings have been approved in Campsie over the past five years, an average of 34 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 44% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 66, running ahead of 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical area statistics, around 34 new homes have been approved annually in the locality, summosting to roughly 173 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 61 approvals have been registered. With an average of 7.8 new residents per year for each completed home over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand vastly outstrips new supply, a trend that typically drives price appreciation and intensifies buyer competition, even as new dwellings are constructed with an average value of $464,000—slightly higher than regional averages—pointing to a focus on premium building standards.
Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $1.6 million this financial year, indicating that the local development landscape remains overwhelmingly residential. In comparison to Greater Sydney, building activity in the locality is substantially quieter, sitting at 54.0% below the regional average per person. This undersupply of fresh housing typically bolsters demand and prices for existing stock. This rate also falls below the national average, reflecting the established nature of the area and pointing to potential planning limitations. New residential projects consist of 44.0% detached homes and 56.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more budget-friendly entry points, catering to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. New building activity leans more towards single-family homes than the existing housing profile indicates (22.0% at the Census), highlighting persistent demand for family residences despite rising density. The area records approximately 1214 people per dwelling approval, indicating a mature residential market. Moving forward, the resident count in the locality is projected to expand by 2,617 people by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If building activity maintains its current pace, the supply of housing may fall short of population gains, which could heighten rivalry among buyers and underpin healthier price appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Sydney Metro City and Southwest
A 30km metro rail extension connecting Chatswood to Bankstown via the Sydney CBD. The Chatswood to Sydenham section, featuring a new harbour crossing and seven CBD stations, opened on 19 August 2024. The final stage involves converting the 13.5km T3 Bankstown Line to metro standards between Sydenham and Bankstown, upgrading 11 stations with platform screen doors, lifts, and full accessibility. The T3 line closed in September 2024 to enable conversion works. Following delays caused by over 130 days of industrial action, the Sydenham to Bankstown section is scheduled to open in the second half of 2026.End-to-end high-speed testing at up to 100km/h commenced in November 2025, and the first full-length test run from Tallawong to Bankstown was completed in January 2026. The Bankstown Station transit interchange and community precinct opened in March 2026. When complete, the M1 Line will span 66km with 31 stations, running every four minutes in peak.
Campsie Station Metro Upgrade
The Campsie Station upgrade is a critical part of the Sydney Metro City and Southwest project, transforming the T3 Bankstown Line. The project involves installing platform screen doors, level access between platforms and trains, and new lifts. As of early 2026, the project is in the final stages of construction with intensive dynamic train testing and station fit-outs. The upgrade ensures the station meets modern metro standards, providing high-frequency services every four minutes during peak periods and improved pedestrian connectivity to the surrounding precinct.
Campsie Private Hospital
A greenfield acute private hospital proposed on a 4,412 square metre site in Campsie Town Centre, with plans for around 22,478 square metres of gross floor area across 10 levels and 218 beds. The facility is intended to deliver inpatient and outpatient services including emergency, intensive care, maternity, day surgery, cardiac care, dialysis and oncology, alongside specialist consulting suites, a pharmacy, cafe and around 382 car parking spaces. It is positioned as the anchor of the emerging Campsie Health Precinct, complementing the adjacent Canterbury Public Hospital and addressing acute healthcare shortfalls in the Canterbury-Bankstown area.Planning controls (a 45.5 metre height limit and FSR of 5.1:1) have been adopted by Council via a site-specific amendment to the Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan. In late 2025 the developer Hailiang Property Group placed the project on the market via Colliers, inviting capital partners and hospital operators to participate in the development, ownership and operation of the hospital, with Expressions of Interest closing on 5 November 2025.
Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment
The NSW Government is investing 350 million dollars in the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment, the largest upgrade to the hospital in more than 26 years. The project will deliver a new multi-storey clinical building containing an expanded Emergency Department, a new Intensive Care Unit, additional surgical theatres, purpose-built adult inpatient accommodation, expanded antenatal facilities, a new Diagnostic Services Unit and additional ambulatory and outpatient capacity. Improvements to clinical education, workforce training and research spaces are also included, alongside campus accessibility, landscaping and wayfinding upgrades.As of May 2026, early works have been approved and are progressing, including expansion and refurbishment of the existing antenatal department to deliver enhanced maternity care ahead of the main works. The project is in the detailed design phase, with the main works planning application expected to be lodged in mid 2026. Johnstaff Projects is project manager and Studio STH is the lead architect.
Campsie Hub

DA approved four-storey co-living development featuring 41 double-room studio apartments with two basement levels. This boutique co-living project provides affordable housing for young professionals and students in the growing Campsie urban precinct.
Canterbury Racecourse Place Strategy
A collaborative strategic planning project between the City of Canterbury Bankstown, the NSW Department of Planning and the Australian Turf Club (ATC). While the ATC has recently reaffirmed its commitment to racing at the site with a $10 million infrastructure investment and the return of night racing in late 2026, the strategy continues to explore long-term options for the 35-hectare site. This includes a potential $70 million, 200-unit housing development on a 1.28-hectare surplus land parcel on King Street aimed at providing community facilities and revenue for the club.
Campsie Town Centre Master Plan
The Campsie Town Centre Master Plan is a strategic vision to transform the area into a premier health, education, and lifestyle hub by 2036. As of early 2026, the project has progressed into the formal Planning Proposal and Development Control Plan (DCP) exhibition phase following a Gateway determination in January 2025. The plan facilitates approximately 5,600 new dwellings in the centre and 7,500 new jobs, leveraging the Sydney Metro City and Southwest rail link. Key features include a new civic hub, enhanced public spaces along the Cooks River, and improved pedestrian connectivity centered around Beamish Street.
14,984 residents of Campsie are employed, from a labour force of 15,697. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 62.5%. 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 23,474, 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 local workforce is characterized by high levels of education and representation across diverse industries, showing an unemployment rate of 4.5% alongside an estimated annual employment growth rate of 3.3%, based on statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 14,984 residents were employed, while the jobless rate was 0.4% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and labour force participation was notably lower at 62.5% compared to Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 34.1%, worked from home, although this figure should be viewed in light of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food services. The locality shows a distinct concentration in health care & social assistance, where the employment share is 1.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for only 7.5% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. The primarily residential character of the area appears to limit local employment opportunities, as reflected in the ratio of Census working population to resident population. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS data aggregated from wider statistical areas, the recent 12-month period saw employment rise by 3.3% while the labour force expanded by 3.8%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labour force expansion of 1.9%, with unemployment decreasing slightly. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context on future demand patterns in the area. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment mix suggests employment for the area will grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes local population projections.

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 — 216 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (26,132 at the 2021 Census → 28,225 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 (SAL10781). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
