Dynnyrne

Dynnyrne has seen population growth performance typically on par with national averages when looking at short and medium term trends

The suburb of Dynnyrne's estimated population is around 1,544 as of November 2025. This reflects a decrease from the 2021 Census figure of 1,633 people, a change inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 1,534 residents following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 13 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 1,057 persons per square kilometer. Over the past decade, Dynnyrne has shown resilient growth patterns with a compound annual growth rate of 1.1%, outpacing the SA3 area. Population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 93.0% 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, Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 are adopted and adjusted using a method of weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 levels. Future population trends suggest an increase just below the median of Australian statistical areas, with the suburb expected to gain 194 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total growth of 14.4% over the 17-year period.

The level of residential development activity in Dynnyrne is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Dynnyrne has averaged around 3 new dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 17 homes. So far in FY-26, 1 approval has been recorded. Over these five years (FY-21 to FY-25), there has been an average of only 0.3 people moving to the area per dwelling built, suggesting supply is meeting or surpassing demand and providing greater buyer choice while supporting potential population growth above projections. New properties are constructed at an average value of $739,000, indicating developers target the premium market segment with higher-end properties.

This financial year has seen $2.7 million in commercial approvals, demonstrating Dynnyrne's primarily residential nature. Compared to Greater Hobart, Dynnyrne has around three-quarters the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and places among the 10th percentile nationally, suggesting somewhat limited buyer options while strengthening demand for established homes. This is lower than the national average, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints. Recent building activity consists entirely of detached dwellings, preserving Dynnyrne's suburban nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers.

Interestingly, developers are building more traditional houses than the current mix suggests (78.0% at Census), indicating continued strong demand for family homes. The location has approximately 1562 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. Looking ahead, Dynnyrne is expected to grow by 222 residents through to 2041 according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
