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, as of 1 Nov 2025, the estimated population of the Greenway statistical area (Lv2) is around 5,354 people. This reflects an increase of 1,225 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,129 people in the Greenway (SA2). 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 on 30 Jun 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. Greenway's 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 area was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 82.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. Exceptional growth is predicted over the period from 2025 to 2041, with the area expected to increase by 3,280 persons based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 61.2% in total over the 17 years.
