Greenway

Greenway lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the population of Greenway is estimated at around 5,354 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,225 people (29.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,129 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 5,353 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 884 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,008 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Greenway's 29.7% growth since the 2021 census exceeded that of the SA3 area (0.1%) and the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the suburb was primarily driven by interstate migration, contributing approximately 82.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, age group growth rates from the ACT Government's SA2 area projections, with 2022 as a base, are adopted. As we examine future population trends, exceptional growth is predicted over the period with the suburb expected to increase by 3,280 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 61.2% in total over the 17 years.

Residential development activity is slightly higher than average within Greenway when compared nationally

Recent development consists entirely of townhouses or apartments, offering affordable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. By 2041, AreaSearch estimates Greenway will grow by approximately 3279 residents. Current development levels align with future requirements, maintaining stable market conditions without significant price pressures.
