Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Moore Creek

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

272 new dwellings have been approved in Moore Creek over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 77, running ahead of 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

According to AreaSearch's compilation of ABS building approval records across statistical boundaries, the locality has averaged approximately 54 newly approved dwellings each year, amounting to roughly 272 homes throughout the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 77 approvals have already been registered. Factoring in an average annual gain of 2.4 new residents per home over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), which highlights strong underlying demand supportive of residential real estate values, newly constructed dwellings carry an estimated average construction cost of $432,000. Per capita residential building volumes in the locality outstrip the Rest of NSW by 259.0%, affording prospective purchasers an expanded selection of stock.

This pace of development stands considerably higher than national norms, highlighting elevated builder and developer commitment. Recent construction approvals comprise 70.0% detached houses and 30.0% attached dwellings, preserving the community's established low-density footprint centered on family homes for buyers seeking acreage or space. This denotes a marked departure from the existing dwelling stock (which is currently 100.0% houses), highlighting a tightening supply of greenfield parcels while capturing evolving lifestyle demands and a call for varied, cost-accessible residential typologies. Recording approximately 45 people per approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of an active growth corridor. Long-term forecasts indicate that the locality will accommodate 502 additional residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Provided current building momentum persists, future residential additions will adequately satisfy demand, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially opening up capacity for expansion beyond standard demographic forecasts.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Moore Creek

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,095 residents of Moore Creek are employed, from a labour force of 2,110. Unemployment sits at 0.7%, with participation at 83.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,488, about 72% 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

Moore Creek benefits from a highly qualified labor pool that includes strong representation in key service industries, an unemployment rate of just 0.7%, and steady employment conditions throughout the previous year, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, 2,095 residents are employed, with an unemployment rate that sits 3.4% lower than the 4.1% observed in Regional NSW, while workforce participation reaches 83.2%, which is significantly above the 60.6% rate for the same region. Census data indicates that 18.6% of residents work from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdown measures should be factored into this figure.

Resident employment centers heavily around health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The community displays notable concentration within education & training, where local representation is 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, accommodation & food provides jobs for only 5.1% of working residents, falling short of the 7.8% recorded across Regional NSW. A comparison between the number of local jobs and working residents suggests that employment opportunities within the immediate boundaries remain limited. Based on AreaSearch's review of broader ABS and SALM figures, the past 12-month period saw resident employment expand by 0.5% against a 0.8% rise in the overall workforce, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in total employment, a 0.4% contraction in its labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in joblessness. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements. When applying their national forecasts—which predict aggregate growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years across varying industries—to the local job distribution, employment among residents is projected to rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this reflects a weighted model for context and excludes local population trajectories).

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 — 363 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,868 at the 2021 Census → 3,473 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 (SAL12721). 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 Moore Creek 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 Moore Creek 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 Moore Creek 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 (Jul 2025) 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.
