Landsdale

Landsdale lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population of the Landsdale statistical area (Lv2) is around 17,875. This reflects a growth of 2,474 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 15,401. The increase is inferred from the resident population estimate of 17,674 by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024) and an additional 219 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 2,671 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Landsdale SA2's growth rate of 16.1% since the 2021 census exceeded the national average of 9.7%. Population growth was primarily driven by natural growth contributing approximately 44.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and interstate migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and utilising growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for areas not covered. Looking ahead, an above median population growth is projected for the area, with an expected increase of 4,172 persons to 2041, reflecting a gain of 21.2% over the 17 years.

The level of residential development activity in Landsdale was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Landsdale recorded around 118 residential properties granted approval each year over the past five financial years from FY21 to FY25, totalling approximately 590 homes. So far in FY26, 29 approvals have been recorded. On average, 4.4 new residents arrive per dwelling constructed annually during this period. This indicates demand significantly exceeds new supply, which typically results in price growth and increased buyer competition.

The average construction value of new homes is $458,000, suggesting developers focus on the premium market with high-end developments. In FY26, there have been $6.8 million in commercial approvals, indicating limited commercial development focus compared to residential. Against Greater Perth, Landsdale shows approximately 67% of construction activity per person and ranks among the 67th percentile nationally when measured against assessed areas.

New development consists of 99.0% detached houses and 1.0% attached dwellings, preserving the area's suburban nature and attracting space-seeking buyers with an average of around 206 people per dwelling approval. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Landsdale is expected to grow by 3,798 residents through to 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
