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 for the Lansvale statistical area is around 2,595 people. This figure remains unchanged from the 2021 Census, which also reported a population of 2,595. The resident population estimate of 2,581 by AreaSearch, based on the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional validated new address since the Census date, supports this stable population trend. This results in a density ratio of 897 persons per square kilometer, which aligns with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. The primary driver for population growth in the Lansvale area has been overseas migration.

Following ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 using a 2022 base year and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a 2021 base year, AreaSearch projects a population increase of 271 persons by 2041. This projected growth reflects an increase of 10.7% over the 17-year period.

The level of residential development activity in Lansvale is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Based on AreaSearch analysis using ABS building approval numbers from statistical area data, Lansvale has experienced approximately 15 dwelling approvals per year. Over the past five financial years, between FY20-21 and FY25-26, around 75 homes have been approved, with an additional three approved in FY26 to date. Despite population decline, new supply appears to be meeting demand, providing good buying options while new dwellings are developed at an average cost of $429,000, slightly above the regional average, indicating a focus on quality developments.

This financial year has seen $11.4 million in commercial approvals, suggesting steady commercial investment activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Lansvale records elevated construction levels, 22.0% above the regional average per person over the past five years, supporting existing property values and maintaining buyer choice, although recent construction activity has eased. New building activity comprises 57.0% standalone homes and 43.0% townhouses or apartments, expanding medium-density options and creating a mix of housing opportunities across price brackets. This shift reflects decreasing availability of developable sites and changing lifestyles, with an estimated 740 people per dwelling approval in the area.

Population forecasts indicate Lansvale will gain 278 residents by 2041, with current development patterns suggesting new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.

Employment performance in Lansvale ranks among the strongest 15% of areas evaluated nationally

Lansvale has a skilled workforce with significant representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors. Its unemployment rate was 1.9% as of September 2025, with an estimated employment growth of 5.4% over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data.

As of this date, 1,201 residents were employed while the unemployment rate was 2.3 percentage points lower than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%. Workforce participation in Lansvale was significantly lower at 43.9% compared to Greater Sydney's 60.0%. Employment among residents is concentrated in manufacturing, transport, postal & warehousing, and health care & social assistance sectors. The area shows strong specialization in manufacturing with an employment share of 2.4 times the regional level.

However, professional & technical services had limited presence with only 4.3% employment compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The ratio of 0.9 workers per resident, as at the Census, indicates substantial local employment opportunities. During the year to September 2025, employment levels increased by 5.4% and labour force grew by 4.6%, leading to a decrease in unemployment rate by 0.7 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labour force growth of 2.4%, with an increase in unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. State-level data from 25-Nov shows NSW employment contracted by 0.03% (losing 2,260 jobs), with the state unemployment rate at 3.9%. This compares favourably to the national unemployment rate of 4.3%. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 project a 6.6% increase in employment over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates varying significantly between industry sectors. Applying these projections to Lansvale's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 5.8% over five years and 12.5% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localised population projections.
