Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Madeley

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

87 new dwellings have been approved in Madeley over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential approval statistics aggregated across statistical boundaries indicates that the suburb of Madeley records roughly 17 dwellings approved annually. Across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), around 87 homes received planning consent, alongside 18 so far in FY-25. With approximately 5.9 new residents per year added for each completed residence over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand outstrips local construction volume, creating upward pressure on prices and elevating buyer competition, while newly built dwellings carry an average construction value of $450,000.

Additionally, commercial development approvals have totaled $328,000 this financial year, highlighting an environment focused heavily on residential property. When evaluated against Greater Perth, construction activity in the suburb of Madeley is markedly lower, trailing the regional per-capita rate by 79.0%. This constrained pipeline of new dwellings bolsters pricing and competition across the established residential market. Approvals also sit beneath the nationwide benchmark, reflecting an established suburban setting and possible town planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent building consents have been for standalone houses, preserving a low-density suburban landscape oriented toward detached properties that appeal to buyers seeking spacious living. With a ratio of approximately 525 people per approval, the suburb of Madeley displays the characteristics of a fully established urban pocket. According to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch, the suburb of Madeley is projected to expand by 664 residents through to 2041. While ongoing residential building is tracking at an adequate rate relative to demographic projections, prospective purchasers may face heightened competition as the local population base expands.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,357, about 86% 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

Madeley features a highly skilled labor pool with strong representation in essential services, where the unemployment rate stands at just 2.1% and estimated employment growth reached 3.5% over the previous year according to AreaSearch aggregated statistical area data.

Census data indicates that only 8.3% of residents worked from home, a figure that should be interpreted with consideration for the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns.

Local workers are primarily concentrated in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. A notable degree of specialization is evident in finance & insurance, which employs 1.7 times the regional proportion of staff. Conversely, mining activity is less prominent, engaging 5.8% of the local workforce relative to 7.0% across Greater Perth. As a predominantly residential suburb, local job availability appears limited when comparing the resident workforce to Census working population figures. AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS statistical data indicates that over the preceding 12-month period, local employment expanded by 3.5% while the total labor force grew by 3.9%, causing unemployment to climb by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Perth, employment increased by 2.0%, the labor pool grew by 2.5%, and unemployment also saw a 0.4 percentage points rise. National labor market outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements. These five- and ten-year models have been aligned with the local industry breakdown to project future employment trajectories. Australian employment overall is projected to increase by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by sector. Projecting these sectoral forecasts onto the area's specific industry distribution suggests local jobs will increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighting calculation for illustrative analysis and does not incorporate localized population shifts).

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 — 23 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,805 at the 2021 Census → 7,435 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 Aug 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 (SAL50874). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Madeley suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Madeley page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Madeley data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Apr 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
