Sales Detail
Fennell Bay has an estimated 1,860 residents, up from 1,780 at the 2021 Census — a change of 80 people, or 4.5%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. That puts 684 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to census updates from the ABS for the region and subsequent evaluations of new properties by AreaSearch, the resident count of Fennell Bay is calculated to stand at 1,860 for May 2026. This indicates that 80 individuals were added to the community, reflecting a 4.5% rise from the 2021 Census when 1,780 people were documented. The figure is derived from a resident base of 1,859, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS release of ERP statistics from June 2025 alongside 9 validated new addresses registered since the census. The current demographic size produces a density of 683 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical levels observed in other locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Throughout the past ten years, Fennell Bay has shown steady expansion with a compound annual growth rate of 1.1%, surpassing the Rest of NSW. The main driver of this expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 85.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. SA2 projections published by ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, utilising 2022 as their starting point, are used by AreaSearch. For areas without these details, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 base are utilised instead. Age-specific growth trends from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographics, regional parts of Australia are expected to grow at rates exceeding the median, with this specific locality projected to increase by 428 residents by 2041 under combined SA2 forecasts, representing a 23.0% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
157 new dwellings have been approved in Fennell Bay over the past five years, an average of 31 a year. That is 17.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, well below 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
AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals from regional statistical datasets show that Fennell Bay typically sees roughly 31 dwellings approved annually, with a total of 157 homes authorized over the last 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 4 during the current FY-26. Because only 0.7 people moved to the locality for every new home constructed during the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, building activity is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, providing buyers with extra choices and facilitating population gains that might outstrip current projections, while new properties carry an average construction value of $472,000, indicating developer interest in high-end projects.
Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $1.5 million in the current financial year, which points to a mostly residential development landscape. Fennell Bay records 101.0% more development activity per capita than the Rest of NSW, giving home buyers more alternatives, even though the pace of development has slowed down lately. This volume of building is notably higher than the nationwide norm, demonstrating strong interest from builders. Detached houses make up 73.0% of the new builds, while apartments or townhouses comprise the remaining 27.0%, which helps retain the low-density profile of the suburb by focusing on standalone properties designed for buyers seeking space. The area averages one dwelling approval for every 337 people, which confirms the low-density nature of the market. Projections indicate that Fennell Bay will add 427 residents through to 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. The current rate of home building is expected to easily accommodate this demand, which creates favorable conditions for purchasers and could help push population growth past current forecasts.

848 residents of Fennell Bay are employed, from a labour force of 907. Unemployment sits at 6.5%, with participation at 58.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,493, 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
Fennell Bay possesses a skilled workforce where the building sector is notably prominent, alongside an unemployment rate of 6.5% compiled from regional statistical data. By March 2026, there were 848 local workers employed, and the jobless rate was 2.4% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation stood slightly below the norm at 58.6% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%. Census files show that a modest 18.4% of workers operated from home, though this may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. Resident employment is primarily found in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The suburb displays a strong specialization in construction, with its employment share in this field reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented, employing 0.7% of workers compared to 5.3% across the region. The comparison between the working population from the Census and the resident labor force suggests the suburb offers few local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS data for the wider statistical districts, the local workforce shrank by 0.1% during the year leading to March 2026, while the number of employed residents fell by 3.1%, leading to a 2.9 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labor force shrink by 0.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point rise. Broader trends can be understood using national employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25, which have been mapped against local employment profiles to project future trends over five and ten years. Across the nation, total employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary considerably by sector. Applying these national industry trends to the local workforce mix suggests that employment for residents of the area should rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local population growth forecasts.

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 (1,780 at the 2021 Census → 1,860 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 (SAL11503). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
