Sales Detail
Katanning has an estimated 3,911 residents, up from 3,637 at the 2021 Census — a change of 274 people, or 7.5%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 56.0% of that increase. Density is about 29 people per 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
Based on examination of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Katanning's resident count is projected to be approximately 3,911 as of May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 274 individuals (7.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,637 people. This shift is derived from the resident population of 3,911, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 33 validated new addresses since the Census date. Such a population level results in a density ratio of 28 persons per square kilometer, a distribution that offers significant space per resident.
The 7.5% growth recorded in Katanning since the census positions it within 1.3 percentage points of the SA3 area (8.8%), highlighting competitive growth dynamics. Regional population gains were chiefly propelled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 56.00000000000001% of overall increases during recent periods. AreaSearch applies ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 district, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 districts lacking this coverage, and to calculate growth across all districts for the years post-2032, AreaSearch employs growth rates by age cohort from the ABS in its most recent Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data). Advancing with demographic trends, a population rise slightly below the median of non-metropolitan districts nationwide is anticipated, with the region projected to grow by 225 persons to 2041 based on compiled SA2-level projections, showing an overall expansion of 5.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
36 new dwellings have been approved in Katanning over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, running ahead of 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's evaluation of ABS building approval statistics distributed from statistical area data, Katanning has averaged approximately 7 new homes approved annually, with an estimated 36 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 9 so far in FY-26. With an average of 3.5 new residents per year arriving per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is falling considerably behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices, while new homes are being constructed at an average value of $432,000, indicating developer focus on the premium segment with high-end properties.
There have also been $4.9 million in commercial approvals this financial year, pointing to the area's residential character. Compared to Rest of WA, Katanning displays significantly lower building activity (67.0% below regional average per person). This restricted construction volume generally supports demand and pricing for established dwellings, although building activity has quickened in recent years. This activity is also below the national average, reflecting the area's established nature and hinting at potential planning limitations. Meanwhile, new construction has consisted entirely of standalone homes, preserving the area's traditional low density character with an emphasis on family homes appealing to those seeking space. The estimated count of 353 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights its quiet, low activity development environment. Population forecasts suggest Katanning will add 225 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Development is keeping reasonable pace with projected growth, though buyers may face increasing competition as the population expands.

Katanning Industrial Expansion Structure Plan (SPN/2029)
The Katanning Industrial Expansion Structure Plan (SPN/2029) is an approved structure plan that provides the statutory framework for staged industrial development east of the Katanning townsite. The precinct is intended to support industrial expansion associated with the Katanning Regional Sheep Saleyards and existing rural service industries. The structure plan remains operative and available through the Shire of Katanning and WA Government planning portals, with development expected to occur progressively as demand and subdivision proposals arise.
Katanning Supertown Heritage Centre Project
A comprehensive community development initiative in Katanning, WA, aimed at fostering growth and amenity. The project includes the Master Plan, the Welcome Precinct (All Ages Playground and Changing Places facility), Town Centre revitalisation (Cultural Precinct/Austral Terrace), Piesse Lake Residential Sub-Division, and Piesse Lake Park. Components like the Welcome Precinct, the KAARL Yarning Place, and the Shire Administration/Civic Building are completed.
Katanning to Kojonup Pipeline Replacement
Replacement of 2.2 kilometres of a 60-year-old pipeline section between Katanning and Kojonup to enhance water supply security and reliability for over 530 homes and businesses in Kojonup and farmland in the Great Southern region. The project was jointly funded by the Federal and WA Governments through the National Water Grid Fund and delivered by Water Corporation and Benang Energy.
Narrogin Solar Farm & BESS
Approved 200 MW DC solar farm with a co-located 200 MW / 800 MWh four-hour battery energy storage system on private land south of Narrogin. The project will connect to the Narrogin South Substation and export electricity into Western Australia's Wholesale Electricity Market. The site is intended to retain agricultural use, including sheep grazing among the solar panels. Development approval was granted by the Regional Development Assessment Panel in June 2025; the project is awaiting critical project status approval from Western Power, with construction currently indicated by the Shire as about 18 months from February 2028.
Narrogin Biodiesel Plant
A proposed commercial-scale renewable diesel biorefinery in the Narrogin Renewable Energy Zone. The earlier EPA assessment for the initial site was terminated in March 2025 after the original site was no longer pursued, but FutureEnergy Australia has stated the WA Future Energy Park remains active, with a new site selection process and a potential 50 percent scale increase from about 17-19 million litres to about 25 million litres of renewable fuel per year. The project is expected to produce renewable diesel plus biochar and wood vinegar by-products and support regional jobs and biomass supply chains.
Narrogin Health Service Redevelopment
A $50 million major redevelopment of the Narrogin Health Service, officially opened in October 2019. The project delivered a new outpatient building, two new birthing rooms, an inpatient ward, theatre, and sterilising department. It also introduced new dental and chemotherapy services. The facility is notable for its chequerboard facade designed by Silver Thomas Hanley to represent stacked hay bales.
1,880 residents of Katanning are employed, from a labour force of 1,979. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 63.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,998, about 77% 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
Katanning features a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar jobs, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, and an unemployment rate of 5.1%, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,880 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.5% above Regional WA's rate of 3.5%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (63.0% compared to Regional WA's 65.6%). Based on Census responses, a low 3.1% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The dominant employment sectors among residents include manufacturing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in manufacturing, with employment levels at 3.2 times the regional average. In contrast, mining employs just 0.9% of local workers, below Regional WA's 11.7%. The area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, labour force levels decreased by 5.2% combined with employment decreasing by 7.6%, causing unemployment to rise by 2.6 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional WA, where employment contracted by 0.1%, the labour force grew by 0.3%, and unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Katanning. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Katanning's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 4.9% over five years and 11.4% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 33 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,637 at the 2021 Census → 3,911 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.
