Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Drawing on census data and address validations performed by AreaSearch subsequent to the official census, the suburb of Fairlight is home to an estimated 6,640 residents as of May 2026. This representing a gain of 499 individuals, or 8.1%, compared to the 2021 Census headcount of 6,141. The updated figure builds on the June 2025 ABS release showing a resident population of 6,636, supplemented by 9 validated new addresses registered since the census. This population translates to a density of 5,675 persons per square kilometer, positioning it in the highest 10% of all areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch and highlighting the intense demand for land in this locality.
This 8.1% rate of growth since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA4 region at 3.7% and the surrounding SA3 district, establishing the suburb as a local growth frontrunner. The growth observed was chiefly driven by overseas arrivals, who accounted for approximately 80.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2 unit, transitioning to 2022 NSW State Government projections with a 2021 baseline where national data is unavailable. Age cohort growth rates from these combined sources are projected forward from 2032 through 2041. Based on these shifting demographic frameworks, the suburb of Fairlight is projected to experience population growth slightly below the national median, adding 686 residents by 2041, which translates to a total increase of 10.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
AreaSearch reviews of building approvals show that the suburb of Fairlight has averaged approximately 2 residential approvals annually, totaling 11 approved homes over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 9 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. With an average of 16.8 new residents added for each completed home during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand continues to outstrip supply, driving up property prices and buyer competition, while the average construction value of new builds stands at $1,006,000, pointing to a developer focus on high-end, premium properties.
Compared to the broader Greater Sydney region, residential building activity in the suburb of Fairlight is exceptionally quiet, sitting 86.0% below the regional per capita average. This lack of new inventory generally bolsters the value of existing homes. This rate is similarly below the national average, reflecting the established character of the area and indicating potential planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent building approvals have been for multi-dwelling formats like townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density housing offers more accessible options for downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers, while marking a departure from the current housing mix where detached houses represent 26.0% of dwellings, indicating a scarcity of developable sites and evolving lifestyle demands. With approximately 3306 people per approved dwelling, the local market is highly mature. Long-term forecasts point to the suburb of Fairlight adding 682 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, residential supply is unlikely to match this population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting upward price pressure.

Freshwater Beach Masterplan
A multi-stage revitalization of the Freshwater Beach coastal precinct. Following the 2026 completion of major playground upgrades and a timber lookout deck, current works focus on Stage 4a: the construction of a new standalone public amenities building. This facility includes family change rooms, accessible toilets, and outdoor showers to improve inclusivity and visitor experience at the southern end of the beach.
Two Tides, Manly
Five-storey, $100 million luxury residential and retail development featuring 24 premium apartments (15 two-bedroom, 6 three-bedroom, and 3 penthouses) above a ground-floor retail space. Designed by SJB Architects, the building draws inspiration from Manly's coastal character. Construction commenced in June 2025 by ULTRA Building Co, with completion expected in Q2 2027. It includes a central landscaped 'Tidal Garden' and features like basement parking.
Balgowlah Village Shopping Centre Refurbishment
Internal refurbishment and tenant remix program at the former Stockland Balgowlah shopping centre. Stockland sold the 12,802 square metre centre to private developer Revelop in March 2024 for 155 million dollars and the asset was rebranded Balgowlah Village following a community naming vote. Revelop has publicly ruled out site redevelopment, including any additional residential tower, and confirmed the strategy is to refresh the interior, refurbish public areas and introduce new fresh food and dining tenancies.Revelop and the centre's own channels describe the transformation as well underway, with new food and beverage tenants such as The Kitchen launching promotions through mid-2026. The centre forms the retail podium of an existing mixed use precinct that already includes 240 apartments above the shopping floors, a car park and Fitness First Platinum gym, and is anchored by Coles, Harbord Growers Market and around 70 specialty stores. An earlier major expansion development application lodged under previous owner Invesco was refused by the Sydney North Planning Panel in 2021 due to traffic, building height and setback concerns and is no longer being progressed.
34-35 South Steyne (Whitewater)
Redevelopment of the former Whitewater Restaurant site into a four-storey boutique commercial and retail building. The project delivers three levels of premium beachfront commercial office suites above ground-floor retail and dining, featuring rooftop solar, EV charging, and end-of-trip facilities. Designed by SJB, the development revitalizes a prominent beachfront corner in Manly.
Totem Road Precinct - Balgowlah Heights
Boutique collection of 28 luxury townhouses and apartments in Balgowlah Heights by Pallas Group, with completion due mid-2026. The project consists of two separate residential buildings.
Manly Health and Wellbeing Precinct
Redevelopment of the former Manly Hospital site into the Manly Health and Wellbeing Precinct. The masterplan includes a residential aged care facility, approximately 120 seniors living apartments, affordable housing, a health and wellbeing centre, public open spaces, a childcare centre, and retail spaces. It is currently progressing through the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) process.
Le Onde
Adjani's boutique development offers five apartments including two three-bedroom units on the lower floors and a penthouse on the top. With views of Manly Beach, the DKO-designed project catered to downsizers in a suburb known for federation style homes, offering a basement carpark with 10 spaces.
Seaforth Village Masterplan & Redevelopment
A proposed mixed-use village centre redevelopment of the existing Seaforth shopping strip, featuring a new full-line supermarket, specialty retail, dining precinct, medical centre, childcare facility, and improved public domain with laneways and plazas. Developed by Celeste Property, the project aims to transform the ageing centre into a contemporary neighbourhood hub serving the Northern Beaches community.
4,050 residents of Fairlight are employed, from a labour force of 4,167. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 74.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,314, about 80% 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 highly educated, featuring a strong representation of technology professionals, a low unemployment rate of 2.8%, and a modest 0.5% growth in employment over the past year. As of March 2026, there are 4,050 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.3% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is solid at 74.1% compared to the regional average of 69.1%. Census records show a high proportion of residents working from home at 64.0%, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. The primary employment sectors for local residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance.
Local representation in professional & technical fields is particularly pronounced, tracking at 1.9 times the regional average, whereas retail trade employs just 5.9% of the workforce compared to the Greater Sydney average of 9.3%. The discrepancy between the local working population and the resident workforce suggests the area remains predominantly residential with limited local employment opportunities. Based on statistical analyses of SALM and ABS data, local employment expanded by 0.5% over the 12 months leading to March 2026, while the labor force grew by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This trend diverged from Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% increase in the labor force, and a slight reduction in unemployment. National employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 suggest a 6.6% expansion in the national workforce over five years and a 13.7% increase over ten years, though prospects vary by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests employment for residents could rise by 7.5% over five years and 14.9% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation.

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,141 at the 2021 Census → 6,640 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11485). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
