Dynnyrne

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

As of Feb 2026, the estimated population of the suburb of Dynnyrne is around 1,533, a decrease of 100 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 1,633. This change was inferred from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 1,530 based on the latest ERP data release by ABS (June 2024) and additional validated new addresses since the Census date. The population density is approximately 1,050 persons per square kilometer, in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Over the past decade, Dynnyrne has shown resilient growth patterns with a compound annual growth rate of 1.1%, outpacing the SA3 area. Overseas migration contributed approximately 93.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 for areas not covered by the former data.

Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb is expected to increase its population by just below the median of national statistical areas, expanding by 192 persons to reach 1,725 by 2041, reflecting a gain of 15.1% over the 17 years.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, indicates Dynnyrne has averaged approximately one new dwelling approval annually over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated seven homes. So far in FY-26, one approval has been recorded.

Over these five years, an average of 0.7 new residents per year per dwelling constructed has been observed. Supply is meeting or surpassing demand, offering greater buyer choice and potential for population growth. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $739,000, indicating a focus on the premium market with high-end developments. Compared to Greater Hobart, Dynnyrne has significantly less development activity, 67.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings.

The area's development activity is also below national averages, reflecting its maturity and possible planning 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, indicating continued strong demand for family homes. The location has approximately 1562 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Dynnyrne is expected to grow by 231 residents through to 2041. Should current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.

Dynnyrne has particular employment specialization in accommodation & food, with an employment share of 1.6 times the regional level.

Meanwhile, construction has limited presence with 3.3% employment compared to 8.7% regionally. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities, as indicated by the count of Census working population versus resident population. Over the 12 months to September 2025, labour force levels decreased by 1.3%, alongside a 2.9% employment decline, resulting in an unemployment rate rise by 1.6 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Hobart, where employment contracted by 0.7%, the labour force fell by 0.9%, and unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 offer further insight into potential future demand within Dynnyrne. These projections suggest that national employment should expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these industry-specific projections to Dynnyrne's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections.
