Development

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Residential development activity is lower than average in Kings Park according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers in Kings Park shows approximately 10 new homes approved annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, around 54 homes were approved, with one more approved so far in FY-26. Each dwelling built over these years attracted an average of 2.1 new residents per year.

New homes are being constructed at an average cost of $313,000. This financial year has seen $1.3 million in commercial development approvals, indicating the area's residential character.

New building activity comprises 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% medium and high-density housing, offering affordable entry pathways for downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This shift from the area's current 93.0% houses indicates decreasing developable sites and changing lifestyles. Kings Park has around 405 people per dwelling approval, indicating a developed market.
