Kings Park (NSW)

An assessment of population growth drivers in Kings Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population of the Kings Park (NSW) statistical area (Lv2) is around 3,483 people. This reflects an increase of 7 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 3,476 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,349 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 8 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,334 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 78.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the Kings Park (NSW) (SA2) is forecasted to grow by 1,394 persons to 2041, reflecting a gain of 45.6% in total over the 17 years.

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

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Kings Park has seen around 10 new homes approved each year. Between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 53 homes were approved, with one more approved so far in FY-26. Over these five years, an average of two people moved to the area for each dwelling built. However, this has intensified recently, with ten people per dwelling moving over the past two financial years, indicating growing popularity and potential undersupply.

New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $313,000. Additionally, $1.3 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, reflecting the area's residential nature. Compared to Greater Sydney, Kings Park has around half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and places among the 39th percentile nationally, resulting in relatively constrained buyer choice and supporting interest in existing dwellings. New building activity shows 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% medium and high-density housing, offering affordable entry pathways for downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a shift from the area's existing housing composition of 93.0% houses, indicating decreasing availability of developable sites and reflecting changing lifestyles. With around 429 people per dwelling approval, Kings Park shows a developed market.

Population forecasts indicate Kings Park will gain 1,590 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
