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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, the resident count for the suburb of Eglinton (NSW) is approximated at 3,156, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population releases alongside post-Census validated new addresses. This represents an addition of 144 people (4.8%) compared to the 3,012 people documented in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch arrived at this figure by reviewing the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, which established a base of 3,150 residents, supplemented by 55 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 49 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious local setting.
Expanding by 4.8% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Eglinton (NSW) outpaced both the broader SA3 area and the SA4 region (2.3%), establishing itself as a premier regional growth pocket. Recent expansion has stemmed overwhelmingly from natural growth, which generated roughly 73.0% of the overall population gains. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures) are implemented by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries, while NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (issued in 2022 using 2021 baseline figures) supply coverage for any gaps. These aggregated distributions also inform age-specific growth trajectories across all localities between 2032 and 2041. Looking ahead, long-term projections place the suburb of Eglinton (NSW) among the upper quartile of non-metropolitan regions across Australia, with consolidated SA2 data indicating an expected expansion of 796 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 25.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
40 new dwellings have been approved in Eglinton (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, 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
Examining ABS residential building approvals across statistical geographies, AreaSearch figures show Eglinton logging an average of about 8 new residential permits each year, totaling an estimated 40 homes over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 20 so far in FY-25. Over this same 5 financial years period (between FY-21 and FY-25), an influx averaging 4.8 people per year for every home constructed has created substantial demand pressures against supply, generally driving buyer competition and upward pricing momentum. Construction values for newly approved residential properties average $465,000, while commercial permits have accounted for $112,000 this financial year, underscoring a strong residential orientation.
Per capita construction activity in Eglinton aligns closely with Rest of NSW, reflecting broader regional market patterns and stability. Detached dwellings constitute 83.0% of recent approvals, while medium and high-density housing makes up 17.0%, reinforcing the low-density character of the neighborhood and catering to purchasers seeking standalone homes and generous space. A ratio of approximately 224 people per dwelling approval further highlights this low-density profile. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, forward projections indicate that Eglinton is poised to add 790 residents through to 2041. If residential construction continues at its current pace, incoming dwelling stock may struggle to keep up with demographic expansion, likely strengthening pricing trends and intensifying buyer interest.

Charles Sturt University Bathurst Campus Master Plan
The Bathurst Campus Master Plan is Charles Sturt University's long-term framework for redeveloping its approximately 90 hectare Panorama Avenue campus over the next 15 to 20 years. Delivered as Phase 3 of the university's campus master planning program (following a University Portfolio Plan and the Wagga Wagga Campus Master Plan), the plan was prepared with Hassell and Alluvium and shaped by a 35-member working group, eight site visits and more than 100 consultation sessions with staff, students and the Bathurst community.Its central move is to consolidate the campus's currently dispersed buildings into a compact, vibrant academic core, releasing surplus land for partnership, residential and commercial opportunities while reducing operating costs. The plan covers campus visioning and strategy, spatial planning, and asset strategy and feasibility, and is structured around four pillars: a Place of Country, a Place for Education, a Place for Research and a Place for Community. It also proposes reinstating ecological corridors along Hawthornden Creek and surrounding wetlands, and aligns with Bathurst Regional Council's Vision Bathurst 2040 Local Strategic Planning Statement.

1,833 residents of Eglinton (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 1,862. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 77.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
With a jobless rate standing at only 1.6% according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch, Eglinton features a highly skilled labor market with substantial representation across essential industries. As of March 2026, 1,833 residents are employed, with the local unemployment level tracking 2.5% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW. Workforce engagement is notably elevated, reaching 77.6% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census figures indicate that just 12.6% of workers operated from home, though this metric was subject to Covid-19 restrictions. Resident workers are heavily clustered within public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The public administration & safety sector exhibits exceptional concentration, employing local residents at 1.6 times the Regional NSW norm. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for merely 2.1% of local workers, compared with 5.3% throughout Regional NSW. Census records also demonstrate a healthy degree of localized employment opportunity, evidenced by a ratio of 0.7 workers for each resident. AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026 shows that the local labor pool contracted by 0.7% and total employment fell by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. Throughout Regional NSW over the same timeframe, the workforce shrank by 0.4%, employment decreased by 0.9%, and unemployment climbed by 0.5 percentage points. Broader national projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 outline expected five-year and ten-year labor movements, which have been modeled against Eglinton's industry composition. While national jobs are forecasted to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations indicate that applying these weightings to Eglinton yields projected local employment growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (intended solely as an illustrative weighted extrapolation without localized population adjustments).

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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,012 at the 2021 Census → 3,156 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.
