Sales Detail
Kambah has an estimated 15,896 residents, up from 15,670 at the 2021 Census — a change of 226 people, or 1.4%. 152 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,402 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 ABS population releases alongside post-Census address validations, the suburb of Kambah has an estimated headcount of roughly 15,896 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 15,670 people documented in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 226 people (1.4%). This shift is deduced from a resident base of 15,878 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 152 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With this headcount, the suburb of Kambah records a population density of 1,401 persons per square kilometer, sitting higher than the average benchmark across AreaSearch's national assessments.
Over the previous ten-year span, the suburb of Kambah has shown steady momentum, achieving a 0.5% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the surrounding SA3 area. The primary driver of this demographic growth was natural increase, which generated roughly 52.0% of all population additions in recent times. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area—published in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point—are utilised by AreaSearch. In locations where this dataset is unavailable or for timelines beyond 2032, age cohort growth trajectories from the ACT Government's SA2 projections (benchmarked to 2022) are applied. Evaluating future population patterns through this framework points toward an overall population decrease, with the suburb of Kambah projected to contract by 964 persons by 2041. In contrast, select age demographics are set to expand, most prominently those aged 85 and over, which is modeled to gain 226 people. <i>See the age section for more details.</i>
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
202 new dwellings have been approved in Kambah over the past five years, an average of 40 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 32% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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
Based on AreaSearch's review of ABS building approval records mapped across statistical areas, the suburb records approximately 40 approved residential dwellings each year. In total, an estimated 202 homes secured approval over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 12 approvals logged to date in FY-25. An average of 1.4 new residents per year were accommodated per new residence across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating well-balanced supply and demand dynamics that foster market stability. Furthermore, newly constructed residences carry an average construction value of $287,000—remaining below typical regional figures and offering more accessible building costs.
Commercial approvals reached $831,000 during the current financial year, highlighting an ongoing emphasis on residential building activity. Relative to Australian Capital Territory, the locality experiences 64.0% higher construction volume per capita, expanding dwelling choices for purchasers even as building intensity has eased over recent quarters. This construction pace falls below the nationwide benchmark, underscoring the established fabric of the area and pointing toward potential planning restrictions. Recent residential building activity is split between 32.0% detached houses and 68.0% attached dwellings. Emphasising medium- and higher-density development introduces lower-cost entry points suitable for downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. This marks a notable structural shift away from the prevailing residential composition (currently 85.0% houses), driven by limited infill sites as well as evolving lifestyle choices and buyer affordability. With roughly 958 people per dwelling approval, the market exhibits established maturity. Given that the local headcount is projected to plateau or shrink, demand pressures on the residential market are anticipated to soften, potentially unlocking new opportunities for prospective purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Kambah Group Centre Expansion
A $20 million private redevelopment led by Exempla Group to revitalize the Kambah Village precinct. The project involves doubling the existing Woolworths supermarket footprint to approximately 3,475 square metres to create a full-line store. The expansion includes a new BWS, additional specialty retail units ranging from 50 to 300 square metres, new food outlets, and medical services. The design features a new covered northern entry and integrated landscaping designed to complement ACT Government public realm upgrades.Current planning focus includes lease variations to accommodate indoor recreation and personal services.
Athllon Drive Duplication
The Athllon Drive Duplication upgrades a key arterial road linking Woden to Tuggeranong in the ACT. The primary southern section duplicates 2.4 km between Sulwood Drive and Drakeford Drive in Kambah and Wanniassa, with a smaller 600 m northern section between Hindmarsh Drive and Melrose Drive. Works include lane duplication, new traffic signals at multiple intersections, upgraded bus stops, active travel paths for cyclists and pedestrians, water quality improvements for Lake Tuggeranong, and a new underpass under Sulwood Drive.Jointly funded by the ACT and Australian governments at $98.55 million, the Development Application for the southern section was approved in early 2026 following completion of enabling works. A tender for main construction is expected to be issued in 2026, with the northern section design ongoing and its timeline less certain due to future light rail corridor planning.
Kambah BMX Facility Lighting Upgrade
Installation of four light towers at the existing BMX facility to allow greater use of the site, extended hours, and outdoor activities outside summer months.
Kambah Village Stage 2 Improvements
Major works completed at Kambah Group Centre including new playground equipment, basket swing, slides, climbing frame, trampolines, shade sail, additional car parking, public community gathering space with 31 trees and lawn, and Canberra's first splash pad with fountains.
Marigal Gardens Retirement Village Expansion
Expansion of the Marigal Gardens Retirement Village in Kambah, ACT, adding 79 new one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments across four buildings to the original 71 villas, resulting in a total of 150 units.

The Valley Ponds - Wanniassa
Proposed medium-density residential estate of approximately 120-150 townhouses and apartments on former open space land between Wanniassa Hills and the Erindale Centre, part of the broader Indicative Land Release Program.
Wanniassa Hills Primary School Modernisation
ACT Government modernisation project at Wanniassa Hills Primary School delivering a preschool upgrade and replacement of existing gas boilers with fully electric heat pumps to improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort and learning environments. The works build on the school's earlier major modernisation program including new learning communities, administration refurbishment, hall improvements and expanded parking. Electrical supply upgrade works were tendered in 2025 to support the new HVAC system.
7,946 residents of Kambah are employed, from a labour force of 8,423. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 63.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,575, about 79% 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 exhibits solid educational qualifications and strong participation in key essential service sectors, accompanied by a 5.7% unemployment rate and consistent employment conditions over the preceding year according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,946, while local joblessness exceeds Australian Capital Territory's benchmark of 4.1% by 1.6%, and the participation rate of 63.8% trails Australian Capital Territory's 70.6% considerably. Census returns indicate that just 11.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 lockdown measures.
Key industries supporting the resident workforce comprise public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, alongside professional & technical services. Nevertheless, public administration & safety remains underrepresented relative to the broader territory, accounting for 28.4% of working residents in contrast to 30.4% across Australian Capital Territory. Comparing resident worker counts with local Census employment numbers indicates that this largely residential community provides relatively few jobs within its immediate boundaries. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, compiled from wider statistical regions, indicates that between March 2026 and the preceding twelve months, employment grew by 0.3% and the labour force expanded by 1.1%, which led to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. These figures mirror those observed in the Australian Capital Territory, where employment also rose by 0.3%, the labour force grew by 1.1%, and unemployment increased by 0.7 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia provides national employment projections starting from Mar-26, which can help assess potential future demand in Kambah. These forecasts span five and ten year periods and have been aligned with local employment data to project growth trends. Nationally, employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Kambah’s employment composition, local employment is projected to grow by 6.5% over five years and by 13.4% over ten years. This calculation uses a straightforward weighting method for demonstration and does not incorporate localized population forecasts.

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 — 152 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,670 at the 2021 Census → 15,896 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 (SAL80082). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
