Sales Detail
Jannali has an estimated 6,841 residents, up from 6,632 at the 2021 Census — a change of 209 people, or 3.2%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. That puts 2,781 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Following an examination of ABS demographic data updates for the wider region, alongside address registries verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Jannali has an estimated residency of 6,841 individuals as of May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 209 people (3.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,632 residents. The calculation originates from a resident population count of 6,831, computed by AreaSearch via analysis of the ABS June 2025 release of ERP data, plus an extra 36 validated new addresses documented after the Census date. This level of residency translates to a density of 2,780 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile of all places evaluated nationally by AreaSearch.
The 3.2% rate of expansion since the 2021 census paced ahead of the broader SA3 region (3.1%), establishing the locality as a leading growth area locally. Population expansion was heavily underpinned by international arrival trends, which accounted for roughly 63.0% of the aggregate demographic gains in recent times. Projections established by ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors are utilized, published in 2024 with a baseline year of 2022. For SA2 territories where these forecasts are unavailable, SA2-level state projections released by the NSW Government in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Projected growth trajectories by age bracket from these files are also applied to all localities for the window spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic changes, the suburb of Jannali is projected to experience a population rise slightly below the national median, with local numbers expected to grow by 479 persons by 2041 based on combined SA2 figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 6.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
149 new dwellings have been approved in Jannali over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 4.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 55% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval registries distributed down from broader geographic statistics, the suburb of Jannali has averaged approximately 29 residential approvals annually. This equates to an estimated 149 homes authorized over the last 5 financial years (specifically from FY-21 to FY-25), with a further 19 approvals logged during the current FY-26 period. Over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), an average of 2 people moved to the area per year for each new dwelling built, pointing to a healthy demand level that underpins local property values.
Newly constructed residences carry an average development value of $548,000, illustrating a clear developer emphasis on the higher-end residential market. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $16.0 million have been registered in the current financial year, demonstrating ongoing commercial capital investment. In comparison to the broader Greater Sydney region, the suburb of Jannali registers slightly higher development levels, tracking 43.0% above the regional per-capita average over the 5 year period, which maintains choice for buyers while preserving underlying demand, though building paces have moderated of late. Recent residential activity consists of 55.0% separate houses and 45.0% attached dwellings, displaying a growing diversity of attached housing styles that accommodate varied budgets, ranging from roomy family residences to more affordable compact layouts. The area is characterized by a low-density profile, averaging approximately 309 people for each development approval. Moving forward, the suburb of Jannali is anticipated to add 469 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its current pace, the influx of new housing stock should easily satisfy local demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially supporting demographic expansion above the current projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
544-546 Box Road Jannali Mixed-Use Development
Five-storey mixed-use development at the corner of Box Road and Roberts Street in the Jannali Town Centre, approximately 160m from Jannali Station. Following an earlier refused planning proposal for an 8-9 storey scheme and a deemed refusal of the development application by Sutherland Shire Council, the developer appealed to the Land and Environment Court. In April 2026, the court approved amended plans comprising ground-floor retail, a 59-space childcare centre, medical centre, six commercial premises and four residential apartments, with basement parking for 29 vehicles.The height limit exceedance was found to be justified by the commissioner.
President Private Hospital Redevelopment
An 87 million dollar State Significant Development redeveloping President Private Hospital into a modern healthcare facility for the Sutherland Shire. The works involve demolition of single-storey buildings (including the heritage-listed Hotham House) and construction of a new three-storey clinical building with two basement car park levels. The redeveloped hospital will provide 110 inpatient beds for surgical, medical and rehabilitation care, a 72-bed mental health unit, a refurbished theatre complex with an additional operating theatre, a new entry from Hotham Road, and an upgraded wellness centre with hydrotherapy pool.The project was initially refused by the Independent Planning Commission in late 2022 over heritage and amenity concerns, but proceeded after a successful Land and Environment Court appeal in 2024. As of late 2025, inpatient services have been closed, the site has been fenced, and demolition and construction works have commenced. Day rehabilitation services continue to operate during the staged build, which is expected to support around 700 healthcare and construction jobs.
Sutherland Public School Hall Upgrade
Construction of a new multipurpose hall at Sutherland Public School, including a stage, indoor sports court, canteen, storage, amenities, out of hours school care (OOSH) facilities and a covered outdoor learning area.

3,884 residents of Jannali are employed, from a labour force of 4,011. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 72.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,592, about 82% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce displays high education levels, with professional services representing a major sector, an unemployment rate of just 3.2%, and relatively steady job numbers over the preceding year, as compiled by AreaSearch from regional statistics. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,884, while the unemployment rate sat 1.0% below the 4.1% rate recorded across Greater Sydney, and workforce participation sat at 72.3% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a notable 51.6% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure should be interpreted alongside Covid-19 quarantine measures in place at the time.
The principal sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical fields. The suburb of Jannali shows a clear employment concentration in education & training, with its share of workers standing at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing jobs are less common locally, accounting for only 4.0% of the local workforce compared to 5.7% across Greater Sydney. Because the locality is heavily residential, local employment options appear restricted, as shown by comparing the count of local workers against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch calculations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional levels, the year ending March 2026 saw the local workforce expand by 0.5% while total jobs fell by 0.1%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.5 percentage points. This diverged from the wider Greater Sydney area, which recorded job growth of 1.9%, labor force expansion of 1.9%, and a marginal decline in unemployment. Federal employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to local workforce data to project future growth. While national employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different fields. Applying these industry projections to the local occupation profile suggests employment numbers will rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local population changes).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 36 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,632 at the 2021 Census → 6,841 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
