Haynes

Haynes 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 since the Census, Haynes' population is estimated at around 3570 as of November 2025. This reflects an increase of 1153 people (47.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2417 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3341, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, and an additional 452 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 751 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Haynes' 47.7% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (8.9%), along with the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 56.00000000000001% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration 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 to estimate growth across all areas in the years post-2032, AreaSearch is utilising the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Anticipating future population dynamics, an above median population growth of national statistical areas is projected, with the suburb expected to grow by 683 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 0.4% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Haynes among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Haynes had approximately 103 residential properties approved annually. Between financial years FY-21 and FY-25, around 519 homes were approved, with a further 48 approved in FY-26. Over these five years, an average of 1.2 people moved to the area per dwelling built.

This suggests balanced supply and demand, stable market conditions, and housing choices under regional levels at an average construction cost of $361,000. In FY-26, $41.5 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating strong commercial development momentum. Compared to Greater Perth, Haynes has 271.0% more development activity per person, suggesting strong developer confidence. New developments consist of 96.0% detached dwellings and 4.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the area's low density nature. With around 26 people moving in for each dwelling approval, Haynes exhibits growth area characteristics.

Future projections estimate a population increase of 15 residents by 2041. Current construction levels should meet demand adequately, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth beyond current forecasts.
