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

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population for the Haynes statistical area (Lv2) is around 3,360. This reflects a growth of 943 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,417. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 3,207 as of June 2024, based on ABS ERP data, and an additional 452 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 707 persons per square kilometer. Since the 2021 census, Haynes has seen a growth rate of 39.0%, exceeding both national (9.7%) and state averages. Interstate migration contributed approximately 56% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS from its Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023 based on 2022 data) to estimate future population dynamics. The Haynes (SA2) is projected to have an above median population growth for national statistical areas, with an expected increase of 680 persons to reach a total of 4,040 by 2041, reflecting a 6.6% increase over the 17-year period.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates approximately 96 residential properties granted approval annually in Haynes. Between financial years FY-21 and FY-25, around 483 homes were approved, with an additional 56 approved so far in FY-26. Over the past five financial years, an average of 1.3 people moved to the area per dwelling built, suggesting balanced supply and demand conditions.

The average construction value for new homes was $361,000, higher than regional levels, indicating quality-focused development. This year, $3.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered, reflecting limited commercial development focus compared to Greater Perth, where Haynes has 246.0% more development activity per person. New development consists predominantly of detached dwellings (97.0%), preserving the area's low-density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers with an average of 27 people per dwelling approval. By 2041, Haynes is projected to grow by approximately 222 residents, with current construction levels expected to meet demand adequately, creating favourable conditions for buyers and potential growth exceeding forecasts.

Looking ahead, Haynes is expected to grow by 222 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.

In contrast, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.9%, with labour force growth of 3.0% and a marginal increase in unemployment. State-level data to November 25 shows WA employment contracted by 0.27%, losing 5,520 jobs, with the state unemployment rate at 4.6%, compared to the national rate of 4.3%. National employment forecasts from May-25 project growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Haynes's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, assuming no changes in population projections.
