Detail
The suburb of Donnybrook (WA) has an estimated population of around 3,385 as of May 2026, according to ABS population updates and AreaSearch validations. This figure represents an increase of 350 people (11.5%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 3,035 residents. The adjustment stems from a resident population of 3,357, as determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the June 2025 ERP data release from the ABS and incorporating 51 newly validated addresses since the Census date. This population level corresponds to a density of 137 persons per square kilometer, offering ample space per individual and potential for additional development.
The suburb's 11.5% growth since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (9.3%) and the national average, establishing it as a leading growth location in the region. Recent population gains were largely attributed to interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 53.0% of the overall increase during the recent period. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for each SA2 area. For SA2 areas without this data, and for projections beyond 2032, growth rates by age cohort from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) are applied. Looking ahead, regional areas are projected to experience above-median population growth, with the suburb of Donnybrook (WA) expected to grow by 525 residents to 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 14.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Donnybrook (WA) over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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 building approval figures from the ABS compiled for statistical areas, Donnybrook has recorded a yearly average of approximately 13 new dwelling approvals, resulting in an estimated 67 houses over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 16 approvals have been logged. With an average of 4.9 individuals moving to the area for every constructed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, supply is lagging significantly behind demand. This deficit generally intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices, even as new homes are built at an average estimated construction cost of $377,000—moderately higher than regional averages—which points to a focus on high-quality construction.
In comparison to the Rest of WA, Donnybrook registers about three-quarters the volume of new dwelling approvals per capita, placing in the 68th percentile of evaluated areas nationwide. Recent building approvals consist solely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density character of the locality and appealing to buyers seeking space. There are approximately 201 people for every dwelling approval, which indicates a growing market. Future forecasts indicate Donnybrook will add 497 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Construction activity is keeping a reasonable pace with the projected population increase, though buyers may face rising competition as the number of residents grows.

1,579 residents of Donnybrook (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,644. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 60.0%. 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 2,609, 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
The local workforce is balanced between white and blue collar jobs, with industrial and manufacturing fields heavily represented. The unemployment rate stands at 4.0%, and employment expanded by an estimated 0.9% over the past year, according to aggregated statistical area data. In March 2026, 1,579 residents were employed. The unemployment rate is 0.4% higher than the Regional WA rate of 3.5%, and labor force participation is notably lower (60.0% compared to Regional WA's 65.6%). Census responses indicate that a minor 5.9% of residents worked from home, although this may have been influenced by pandemic lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, mining, and retail trade. The locality shows a strong concentration of employment in retail trade, with its share of jobs being 1.2 times the regional average. Conversely, education & training accounts for only 6.8% of local workers, which is below the 8.9% recorded in Regional WA. Comparing the census working population to the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are limited. Aggregated SALM and ABS data shows that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 0.9% and the labor force expanded by 1.4%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. In contrast, Regional WA saw employment contract by 0.1%, the labor force grow by 0.3%, and unemployment rise by 0.4 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia (May-25) provide further context for future demand. Mapped against the local employment profile, these five and ten-year projections show that while national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these national projections to the local industry mix suggests employment should rise by 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for 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 — 51 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,035 at the 2021 Census → 3,385 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.
