Lansvale

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

As of November 2025, the estimated population of Lansvale is around 2,657 people. This figure represents an increase of 62 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,595 people. The current estimate is inferred from AreaSearch's validation of new addresses and examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, resulting in an estimated resident population of 2,656 for Lansvale. This level of population density equates to approximately 919 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively inline with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Lansvale's growth since the 2021 Census has exceeded that of its SA3 area, marking it as a growth leader in the region with a 2.4% increase compared to the SA3 area's 2.2%. The primary driver of population growth was overseas migration during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, 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. Considering projected demographic shifts, Lansvale is expected to experience a population increase just below the median of statistical areas across the nation by 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb is expected to expand by 269 persons over this period, reflecting an overall gain of approximately 8.1%.

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

AreaSearch analysis shows Lansvale had approximately 17 dwelling approvals per year. Between FY20-21 and FY25-26, around 91 homes received approval, with 4 in the current financial year. Despite population decline, new supply likely met demand, offering buyers good choice.

Average construction cost was $429,000, below the regional average. Commercial approvals totalled $4.7 million this year, indicating limited commercial focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Lansvale had 43.0% higher construction activity per person over five years. However, recent activity has eased.

New building activity comprised 56.0% standalone homes and 44.0% townhouses or apartments, expanding medium-density options. This shift from the existing 95.0% houses suggests decreasing developable sites and changing lifestyles. Lansvale's population is forecast to grow by 214 residents by 2041. Current development patterns should meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating further growth.
