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
Corrimal has an estimated 7,197 residents, up from 6,972 at the 2021 Census — a change of 225 people, or 3.2%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 1,414 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
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Corrimal's population is estimated at around 7,197 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 225 people (3.2%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 6,972 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 7,175, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 77 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,413 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Corrimal's 3.2% growth since census positions it within 1.5 percentage points of the SA3 area (4.7%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 61.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, utilizing 2022 as a baseline, are used for SA2 regions. For areas where these figures are unavailable, the 2022 state government projections for NSW based on 2021 numbers are substituted. Age-specific growth percentages from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic outlooks point to growth matching the lower quartile of non-metropolitan regions across Australia, with the suburb of Corrimal projected to add 323 residents by 2041 according to collective SA2 statistics, representing a total rise of 4.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
162 new dwellings have been approved in Corrimal over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That is 4.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 46% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 97, 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
Analysis of statistical building approvals indicates that the suburb of Corrimal averages approximately 32 approved dwellings annually. This includes 162 total approvals across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 89 approvals registered during the current FY-26 period. Constructing these properties has accommodated an average of 1.3 new residents per dwelling each year from FY-21 to FY-25, showing balanced market supply and demand. The mean estimated construction cost of $517,000 indicates developers are targeting the high-end residential segment. Furthermore, local business development has seen $36.1 million in commercial building approvals this financial year.
Building activity per capita in the suburb of Corrimal is approximately three-quarters of the level observed across the Rest of NSW, placing the suburb in the 61st percentile of all national areas evaluated. Recent building approvals consist of 46.0% detached houses and 54.0% attached dwellings. This skew toward medium and high-density options provides accessible market entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. Having approximately 242 people per approved dwelling characterizes the area as low density. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Corrimal will gain 301 residents by 2041, referencing the most recent quarterly estimates. Existing residential construction rates appear sufficient to accommodate this demand, establishing positive purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for expansion that surpasses these projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Corrimal Transport Oriented Development Area
The Corrimal Transport Oriented Development (TOD) program enables high-density residential growth within 400m of the station. The flagship project, 'The Works Corrimal' (formerly Corrimal Coke Works), is a masterplanned precinct delivering roughly 850 dwellings and 9ha of parkland. As of 2026, construction is progressing on Stage 1 (179 apartments), while Stage 2A is undergoing assessment for built form variations. The development integrates heritage preservation of historic chimneys and coke ovens with modern apartments and a retail plaza.
The Works Corrimal
A 600 million dollar urban renewal of the 18-hectare former Corrimal Coke Works site. The master-planned community is set to deliver approximately 850 dwellings, including apartments and townhouses, across several character zones. The project features a heritage precinct preserving the iconic 1912 brick chimney, a village green, and over nine hectares of public open space including a rehabilitated riparian corridor. Stage 1, comprising 181 apartments, is currently under construction by Growthbuilt with completion targeted for mid-2027.The development is aiming for a 5-Star Green Star rating and incorporates extensive sustainable landscaping.
Wilga Street Block, Corrimal Planning Proposal and DCP Amendment
Planning control changes for the Wilga Street Block in Corrimal Town Centre to enable a vibrant mixed-use precinct, including local centre zoning, increased height and floor space controls, location-specific DCP controls, public realm improvements and future redevelopment opportunities. Council adopted the strategy and DCP amendment and supported the planning proposal, with NSW Planning Portal listing the proposal as approved. The planning proposal itself does not approve a specific development; future works would require separate development assessment.
Russell Vale Underground Expansion Project (Energy Storage Transition)
Following the February 2024 closure of the coal mine expansion due to regulatory and safety concerns, the site is being repurposed for renewable technology. In September 2025, Wollongong Resources and Green Gravity signed a binding agreement to deploy a world-first gravitational energy storage trial in the #4 mine shaft. The project uses excess solar and wind power to lift 60-80 tonne weights, releasing the stored energy back to the grid during peak demand. The site is currently undergoing engineering studies and regulatory approvals for production trials scheduled for 2026.
Woonona Place
IRT Group's Woonona Place is an approved seniors housing redevelopment of the existing IRT Woonona site. The project will deliver five buildings with 98 independent living units, new basement parking, additions and refurbishment to the Flametree Residential Care Services, a social and wellness centre with hydrotherapy and allied health spaces, a clubhouse, landscaped open spaces and adaptive reuse of the heritage church as a restaurant and community hub.
79 Dobbie Avenue Townhouses
Three three-bedroom townhouses on an 804 sqm residential infill site in East Corrimal. Planning approval has been issued and the project was in its final funding/completion phase as of December 2024, with the developer planning to sell the completed dwellings.
Elements at IRT Towradgi Beach
A major redevelopment of the IRT Towradgi Retirement Village site. While a 2025 proposal for an 87-unit seniors living community (Elements at IRT Towradgi Beach) was not approved by the Wollongong Local Planning Panel in April 2026 due to site constraints including flooding, IRT Group is currently exploring alternative development pathways to deliver diverse and accessible housing on the land.
The Plaza Woonona Specialist Retail and Recreational Centre
A mixed-use specialist retail and recreational development featuring six individual retail spaces, a gymnasium, a health spa with a 25m swimming pool, and a 0-6 year old childcare centre. The facility includes secure basement parking with allocated spaces for each tenancy and visitor parking, ideally located along the Princes Highway with street access.
3,485 residents of Corrimal are employed, from a labour force of 3,752. Unemployment sits at 7.1%, with participation at 62.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,558, about 91% 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
Corrimal features a highly skilled labor force with strong representation in essential service industries, an unemployment rate of 7.1%, and an estimated employment growth of 2.3% over the previous year, according to data aggregated by AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 3,485 residents employed, with an unemployment rate of 4.1% that exceeds the Regional NSW average by 3.0%, indicating potential for enhancement, while workforce participation remains broadly comparable to the Regional NSW figure of 60.6%. Census data reveals that 30.4% of residents worked from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdown measures should be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The local labor market is uniquely concentrated in transport, postal & warehousing, where the employment proportion is 1.5 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, accounting for 0.2% of local workers compared to the regional figure of 5.3%. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workers suggests a shortage of local jobs. Based on statistical area data from SALM and the ABS, employment grew by 2.3% and the labor force expanded by 2.2% over the year ending March 2026, preserving a stable unemployment rate. Conversely, Regional NSW saw employment contract by 0.9% and its labor force shrink by 0.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in joblessness. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate prospective local demand. While national forecasts predict employment expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Weighting these national industry trends against the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents of the suburb of Corrimal could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years.

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 — 77 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,972 at the 2021 Census → 7,197 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.
