Sales Detail
Kalamunda has an estimated 8,079 residents, up from 7,163 at the 2021 Census — a change of 916 people, or 12.8%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 73.0% of that increase. That puts 763 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside address validation completed post-Census, the suburb of Kalamunda has an estimated count of approximately 8,079 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 916 people (12.8%) compared to the 7,163 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated from an estimated resident total of 8,068 following the ABS June 2025 ERP update, combined with 62 validated new addresses recognized after the Census benchmark. Consequently, population density stands at 762 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with standard metrics recorded across typical AreaSearch study zones.
Expanding at 12.8% post-2021, the suburb of Kalamunda outpaced both the national benchmark (9.5%) and its wider SA3 territory, establishing itself as an area of notable demographic expansion. Net overseas arrivals served as the primary catalyst, generating around 73.0% of the net population additions over recent timeframes. Demographic modeling incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures. Where specific SA2 projections are absent, and for broader long-range modeling after 2032, age-cohort growth paths from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (2022 base) are applied. Factoring in these structural patterns, the suburb of Kalamunda is anticipated to register expansion tracking above the national median for statistical divisions. Projections across aggregated SA2 boundaries indicate an addition of 939 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 11.5% across the 16-year span.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
232 new dwellings have been approved in Kalamunda over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 37, broadly in line with 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across statistical sectors shows an annual average of about 46 residential approvals in the suburb, accumulating to roughly 232 new homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 37 approvals have been registered. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average intake of 3.5 new residents occurred for each completed home, indicating sustained structural pressure where new demand outstrips additions, often fostering price appreciation and heightened purchasing competition. Concurrently, approved residential construction yields an average construction cost of $728,000, signaling a clear developer focus on higher-end builds.
On the non-residential front, $14.0 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to a steady pace of commercial expansion. Per capita residential development approvals in the suburb track 67.0% above the Greater Perth rate, presenting prospective purchasers with broader options. Recent dwelling permits divide into 85.0% separate houses and 15.0% attached designs, sustaining a low-density character focused on freestanding homes that appeal to purchasers prioritizing space. A ratio of approximately 192 people per residential approval illustrates an evolving local property environment. According to the latest quarterly AreaSearch projections, residential counts are anticipated to expand by 928 individuals moving toward 2041. At prevailing rates of residential construction, emerging housing supply appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, creating an accommodating landscape for prospective buyers while leaving room for potential growth beyond baseline projections.

Kalamunda Activity Centre Precinct Structure Plan
A long-term planning framework for the revitalisation of the Kalamunda Town Centre, formally approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission on 9 May 2025. The Plan, developed in collaboration between the City, the local community and businesses, sets out a vision to transform the town centre into a contemporary, attractive and functional hub while retaining its village in the forest character. Key precincts include a new Town Square on Railway Parade as a civic focal point, Haynes Street as the traditional Main Street, the recently completed Central Mall food and beverage precinct (opened September 2022), and Green Park and Barber Street Piazza as social gathering spaces.The framework facilitates approximately 400 new dwellings and around 2,800 square metres of additional shop and retail floor space, with a dedicated cycleway on Mead Street and Canning Road, consolidated parking, and improved pedestrian links connecting Stirk Park, Stirk Cottage, the Zig Zag Cultural Centre and the Bibbulmun Track. Implementation is staged over roughly a decade and is being delivered through a series of projects led by the City of Kalamunda alongside private investment.
Kalamunda Activity Centre Precinct Structure Plan
The Kalamunda Activity Centre Precinct Structure Plan is the statutory planning framework for the long-term redevelopment and revitalisation of Kalamunda town centre.

The Rise at Kalamunda
Upscale hillside residential development of 28 luxury house and land packages with sweeping valley views, completed in 2023 by Blackburne.
3,970 residents of Kalamunda are employed, from a labour force of 4,099. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 59.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 7,111, about 88% 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
A highly qualified labor force characterizes the locality, accompanied by strong participation in essential services, a contained jobless rate of 3.1%, and an annual employment increase of 1.9% according to aggregated statistical figures. Data as of March 2026 indicates 3,970 employed residents, with local joblessness sitting 1.0% below the 4.2% registered across Greater Perth, while labor force participation of 59.8% falls short of the wider capital benchmark of 69.9%. Census records show a modest 11.2% working remotely from home, a metric shaped in part by pandemic-era lockdown conditions. The primary industry sectors providing resident employment are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
Concentration in education & training is pronounced, showing an employment proportion 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. In contrast, health care & social assistance engages 13.4% of the working resident base compared to 14.8% across the wider region. Considering the ratio of Census local workers to resident workers, this largely suburban community features relatively constrained employment capacity within its immediate boundaries. SALM and ABS datasets across the 12 months ending March 2026 reveal a 1.9% rise in local employment alongside a 2.2% increase in the total workforce, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. Over the same span, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% employment gain and 2.5% labor pool expansion, resulting in a 0.4 percentage points increase in joblessness. Broader industry outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context on medium-to-long term labor demand. Applying these five- and ten-year sectoral outlooks—which predict national employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to the local employment base suggests local jobs could grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (a weighted illustrative model independent of localized population projections).

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Kalamunda is 49, older than 90% of areas nationally. 17.6% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.

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 — 62 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,163 at the 2021 Census → 8,079 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 Aug 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL50707). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
