Sales Detail
Kingston Beach has an estimated 2,334 residents, up from 2,305 at the 2021 Census — a change of 29 people, or 1.3%. That puts 1,577 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates and quarterly validation of new addresses by AreaSearch suggests that the suburb of Kingston Beach has a population of approximately 2,334 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 29 residents, or 1.3%, from the 2,305 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is based on a resident population estimate of 2,330 calculated from the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 4 new addresses confirmed since the Census. With this population level, the suburb has a density of 1,577 persons per square kilometer, a ratio exceeding the average for locations monitored by AreaSearch.
The 1.3% growth rate is 2.6 percentage points behind the broader SA4 region's expansion of 3.9%, showing competitive local dynamics. Population expansion was mostly supported by overseas migration, which represented roughly 77.0% of recent demographic gains. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as their starting point, are used for SA2 regions. For locations where this data is unavailable, or to calculate age-based growth past 2032, population estimates utilize the Tasmania State Government's LGA and regional projections from 2022 using a 2021 base, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population shifts from the LGA to the SA2 level. Future demographics indicate that population expansion will occur slightly below the national median for statistical divisions, with projections suggesting the area will add 165 residents by 2041, representing a total growth of 6.9% over a 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
25 new dwellings have been approved in Kingston Beach over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals from the ABS indicate that the suburb of Kingston Beach averages approximately 5 dwelling approvals annually. A total of 25 homes were approved during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with none recorded in FY-26. A ratio of 0.4 new residents per new home over those 5 financial years (FY-21 to FY-25) suggests that supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, widening options for buyers and supporting faster population growth than expected. Newly approved homes have an average valuation of $613,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $899,000 have been logged during this financial year, underscoring the residential focus of the community. The rate of new home approvals per capita in the suburb of Kingston Beach is approximately half that of Greater Hobart, placing the area in the 10th percentile nationally and limiting options for buyers while driving demand for existing properties. This level falls below the national average, pointing to the suburb's established character and potential planning constraints. Recent approvals consist entirely of standalone houses, reinforcing the suburban layout of the area with family-oriented spaces. Developers are focusing on traditional houses to a greater extent than the historical housing mix of 82.0% at the Census would suggest, reflecting a strong appetite for standalone homes despite density challenges. The ratio of 1557 people per approval highlights the mature status of the area. Looking forward, the population of the suburb of Kingston Beach is projected to increase by 161 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Residential construction is keeping up reasonably well with this growth, though buyers might face increased competition as the population rises.

Kings Quarter is a multi-stage masterplanned community by Traders In Purple on the former Kingston High School site. Stages 1 and 2, including 142 homes and the residents Clubhouse, have been completed. The approved next residential stage comprises a six-storey park-front apartment building with around 50 apartments. Future stages will deliver additional housing together with retail, commercial, health and community facilities across the wider precinct.
Kings Quarter
Kings Quarter is a major mixed-use urban renewal project at Kingston Park on the former Kingston High School site, delivered by Traders in Purple with Kingborough Council's public open space program. Stage 1 Birch Row homes have sold and construction is complete, Hutchinson Builders completed a later 62-house and townhouse stage with the residents' clubhouse in 2024, and future precinct phases are planned to add retail, entertainment, commercial, health and community facilities.
Tasmania Devils AFL High Performance Centre
A 115 million dollar high-performance training and administration facility for the Tasmania Devils AFL and AFLW teams at the Kingborough Sports Precinct. The state-of-the-art hub features a full gymnasium, recovery pools, infrared saunas, and an indoor training field. It includes a 80-seat lecture theatre, medical suites, and administrative space for 80 staff, alongside community-accessible spaces including a cafe and club merchandise store.
Blackmans Bay Primary School Redevelopment and Expansion
Proposed redevelopment and expansion of Blackmans Bay Primary School to provide additional contemporary learning environments, upgraded administration facilities and shared school infrastructure to support future enrolment growth. As of the latest DECYP infrastructure program, the project is not listed among active funded capital works, indicating it remains a planning priority rather than an announced construction project.
Illawarra Rise Estate
A residential subdivision referenced in the hills above Blackmans Bay, near Roslyn Avenue and Illawarra Road, an already well-established coastal suburb of Kingborough south of Hobart. An extensive search of developer, council, and property-market sources could not locate a live, publicly documented masterplanned project of this name, scale, or dwelling count in Tasmania; Illawarra Road and Roslyn Avenue in Blackmans Bay are fully built-out established streets rather than a new land release. The urls and developer originally supplied for this record belong to an unrelated Wollongong, NSW real estate agency and have been removed.This record should be treated as unverified pending a primary source.
Kingston Bypass Duplication and Algona Road Roundabout Upgrade
Major road upgrade delivering a grade-separated interchange to replace the Algona Road roundabout, duplication of the Kingston Bypass to two lanes in each direction, a new shared use path, a funded pedestrian overpass linking Huntingfield Park and Ride to Hollyhock Drive, and safety improvements at the Maddocks Road intersection. The project is progressing through environmental approvals, with major construction expected to commence in early 2027.
Tasmania JackJumpers and Jewels High Performance Training Centre

The facility includes two basketball courts including a show court, gymnasium, medical and rehabilitation areas, recovery facilities, administration offices, meeting rooms, merchandise shop and community basketball access. Construction commenced in June 2025 with works reported on schedule.
Blackmans Bay Bluff Specific Area Plan Review
Kingborough Council is progressing planning scheme work affecting Blackmans Bay, including the Blackmans Bay Bluff Specific Area Plan and related Landscape Conservation Zone review under the draft Local Provisions Schedule. The current focus is statutory planning controls, community engagement, resident surveys and Tasmanian Planning Commission hearings rather than a confirmed capital works redevelopment. The review seeks to guide use and development while balancing residential certainty, scenic coastal character, bushland and landscape values.
1,210 residents of Kingston Beach are employed, from a labour force of 1,247. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 60.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,765, about 76% 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 is highly educated and has a strong representation in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of 2.9% and steady job numbers over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,210, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.5% below the Greater Hobart average of 4.4%. Participation in the labor force is slightly low at 60.8% compared to the regional figure of 63.8%. According to Census data, 13.2% of workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services.
The area exhibits a strong concentration in the professional & technical sector, with its employment share reaching 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 3.4% of the local workforce, which is below the 5.2% rate seen in Greater Hobart. The mismatch between the census-recorded working population and resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are limited within this residential enclave. According to SALM and ABS data aggregated across statistical areas, the labor force expanded by 0.2% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 0.2%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.2 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Hobart experienced a 0.1% decrease in employment, a 0.2% increase in the labor force, and a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on local employment trends. These projections, spanning five and ten years, are applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, using a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes without factoring in local 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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,305 at the 2021 Census → 2,334 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL60308). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
