Green Point (Central Coast - NSW)

Green Point is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

The population of Green Point, Central Coast - NSW, was estimated at around 6,974 as of November 2025, reflecting an increase of 164 people since the 2021 Census. This growth represents a 2.4% rise from the previous figure of 6,810 residents. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 6,956 following examination of ABS ERP data released in June 2024 and an additional 139 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 812 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Green Point's growth exceeded that of the broader SA3 area (2.3%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 65% of overall population gains during recent periods.

For projections, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a base year of 2022 for SA2 areas covered by this data and NSW State Government's SA2-level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 for areas not covered. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Considering projected demographic shifts, the area is expected to increase by 258 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 1.9% in total over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Green Point, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Green Point has recorded approximately 18 residential properties granted approval per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 92 homes. As of FY-26, two approvals have been recorded. The area's population decline suggests that new supply has likely kept pace with demand, offering good choice to buyers. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $697,000, slightly above the regional average, indicating a focus on quality developments.

In FY-26, $24.3 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded, suggesting balanced commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Green Point has around three-quarters the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and ranks among the 58th percentile nationally. However, recent periods show increased development activity. Recent construction comprises 50% detached houses and 50% townhouses or apartments, reflecting reduced availability of development sites and shifting lifestyle demands towards denser development that appeals to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers. Green Point is expected to grow by approximately 130 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
