Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Donnybrook (WA) is estimated to have a population of approximately 3,382, drawn from broader ABS regional releases and 40 validated new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch since the Census date. This reflects an addition of 347 people (11.4%) over the 3,035 people recorded in the 2021 Census, building on an estimated resident population of 3,352 identified following the ABS June 2025 ERP figures. The local population density stands at 137 persons per square kilometer, offering generous personal space and scope for future expansion. With an 11.4% expansion since the 2021 census, growth in the suburb of Donnybrook (WA) outpaced both the national benchmark and the wider SA3 area (9.4%), establishing it as a regional frontrunner.
Recent population increases were largely powered by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 53.0% of total inbound gains. Projections for the suburb of Donnybrook (WA) incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data based on 2022 benchmarks across SA2 boundaries, alongside age-cohort rates from the 2023 Greater Capital Region releases (based on 2022 data) for remaining locations and post-2032 modeling. Looking ahead, demographic patterns point toward above-median regional expansion nationally. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate the suburb of Donnybrook (WA) is anticipated to expand by 500 persons to 2041, representing an overall rise of 13.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
54 new dwellings have been approved in Donnybrook (WA) over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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 ABS residential building approvals shows Donnybrook averaging roughly 10 residential dwelling consents per year, accumulating to approximately 54 homes across the preceding 5 financial years, with 19 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 6.1 new residents arrived annually for every completed home, indicating that local demand is outpacing incoming supply and placing upward pressure on pricing and buyer competition. New residences in the pipeline carry an average expected construction cost of $434,000. Per capita residential building activity in Donnybrook reaches roughly 66% of the Rest of WA level, placing the locality in the 78th percentile nationwide despite a recent pickup in building work.
This volume remains below the broader Australian standard, reflecting an established urban footprint and possible planning constraints. Contemporary development has consisted entirely of standalone homes, preserving low-density living and appealing to buyers seeking detached space. Market expansion is evidenced by a ratio of around 136 people for each dwelling approval granted. Forecasts anticipate Donnybrook adding 470 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. If building activity continues at its prevailing trajectory, new residential development could struggle to absorb this population influx, potentially intensifying competition among purchasers and sustaining upward value momentum.

1,566 residents of Donnybrook (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,631. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 59.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,613, about 77% 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
Donnybrook maintains a balanced labour market across white-collar and blue-collar occupations, anchored by substantial manufacturing and industrial operations. The local jobless rate stands at 3.9%, with annual employment growth estimated at 0.8% according to AreaSearch statistical modeling. As of March 2026, 1,566 residents are employed. Unemployment is 0.4% higher than the Regional WA benchmark of 3.5%, while labour force participation is considerably lower at 59.7% compared to 65.4% across Regional WA. At the Census, only 5.9% of workers operated from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary industry sectors for resident workers are health care & social assistance, mining, and retail trade.
Donnybrook demonstrates a notable concentration in retail trade, where its share of employment is 1.2 times that of the surrounding region. Conversely, education & training accounts for 6.8% of local jobs, trailing the 8.9% observed across Regional WA. Comparing the resident workforce against the Census working population suggests a limited volume of local employment opportunities within the immediate boundary. Across the 12 months to March 2026, AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM data reveals a 0.8% increase in employment alongside a 1.3% rise in the labour pool, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points. Across Regional WA over the same timeframe, jobs contracted by 0.1% while the workforce grew by 0.3%, generating an identical 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context regarding future labour demand. Over a five-year timeframe, national employment is projected to expand by 6.6%, reaching 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by industry. When these sector-level trends are weighted against Donnybrook's existing industry distribution for illustrative purposes without factoring in localized population changes, local job counts are modeled to rise by 5.3% over five years and 11.8% 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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,035 at the 2021 Census → 3,382 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 Aug 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 (SAL50419). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
