Golden Bay has an estimated 8,088 residents, up from 5,681 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,407 people, or 42.4%. Growth has averaged 7.8% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 351 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch combining regional ABS updates with 351 validated new addresses post-Census place the population of the suburb of Golden Bay at approximately 8,088 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,407 people (42.4%) relative to the 5,681 residents documented in the 2021 Census. The calculation builds upon an ERP figure of 8,035 determined by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 data release alongside subsequent dwelling validations. At 1,834 persons per square kilometer, the local population density exceeds the nationwide average across benchmarks assessed by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both state figures and the national average (9.5%), the 42.4% gain since the 2021 census establishes the locality as a prominent regional growth performer. Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 37.0% of recent population increases, supported by positive contributions from natural growth and overseas arrivals. Population projections for the suburb of Golden Bay rely on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling anchored to 2022 baseline figures, complemented beyond 2032 or across unlisted boundaries by cohort growth metrics from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region release (built on 2022 data). Demographic trajectories point to above median expansion on a nationwide scale, with aggregated SA2 modeling indicating the suburb of Golden Bay will expand by 1,420 persons to 2041, corresponding to a total climb of 16.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
650 new dwellings have been approved in Golden Bay over the past five years, an average of 130 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 122 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 149, broadly in line with 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
Statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that residential construction in Golden Bay has averaged approximately 130 dwelling approvals per year, accumulating to roughly 650 homes across the past 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, authorizations have reached 149 approvals. With an intake of 4.1 new residents per year for every home delivered between FY-21 and FY-25, buyer demand substantially outpaces building additions, commonly driving heightened market competition and capital appreciation; meanwhile, average expected construction cost stands at $407,000 per dwelling. Non-residential additions remain steady, evidenced by $18.6 million in commercial approvals recorded during the current financial year.
On a per-capita comparison, residential building volume in Golden Bay exceeds Greater Perth by 89.0%, broadening options for prospective purchasers. This elevated level of activity substantially outstrips the nationwide benchmark, underscoring strong developer commitment. Single-family residences make up 98.0% of recent builds while medium and high-density housing represents 2.0%, reinforcing the established low-density suburban landscape favored by family households. An average of roughly 57 people per dwelling approval highlights an expanding local development pipeline. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update, future demographic modeling anticipates Golden Bay will add 1,367 residents through to 2041. Ongoing construction volumes indicate that residential additions are well positioned to absorb incoming demand, supporting balanced purchasing conditions and potentially enabling expansion above current baseline projections.

4,608 residents of Golden Bay are employed, from a labour force of 4,809. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 76.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 5,958, about 74% 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
Golden Bay presents a balanced employment landscape that includes both white and blue collar jobs, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of 4.2%, and 2.5% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,608 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is in line with Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (76.3% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%). Based on Census responses, a low 6.7% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Major employment categories for local workers comprise construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The workforce displays an exceptional concentration in construction, where the local employment proportion stands at 1.4 times the regional figure. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.5% of employed locals, trailing the 8.2% registered across Greater Perth. The balance between local jobs and resident workforce numbers indicates that this predominantly residential district provides limited workplace opportunities within its own boundaries. Aggregated ABS and SALM figures evaluated by AreaSearch for the 12 months to March 2026 demonstrate a 2.5% increase in employment alongside a 2.9% expansion in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point increase in the local jobless rate. Over the corresponding timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0% and the labour force grow by 2.5%, lifting unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking demand can be assessed via Jobs and Skills Australia national industry projections from Mar-26, which outline overall Australian employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighted against the local occupational profile, these sector forecasts project local job opportunities to expand by 5.8% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (note this illustrative extrapolation relies solely on sector weighting without factoring in localized population changes).

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 — 351 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,681 at the 2021 Census → 8,088 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL50566). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
