Sales Detail
Mount Nasura has an estimated 3,233 residents, up from 2,997 at the 2021 Census — a change of 236 people, or 7.9%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 54.0% of that increase. That puts 1,159 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS demographic updates and post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Mount Nasura reached an estimated population of approximately 3,233 by Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 236 people (7.9%) relative to the 2,997 people recorded during the 2021 Census. These figures draw from an estimated resident population base of 3,215 identified via the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 23 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Mount Nasura exhibits a population density of 1,158 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with standard metrics across locations surveyed by AreaSearch.
With an expansion of 7.9% post-census, the suburb sits within 1.6 percentage points of the 9.5% national figure, underscoring solid demographic expansion. Inflow from interstate migrants served as the leading catalyst, generating roughly 54.0% of recent population gains, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. Projections generated by ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 (benchmarked to 2022) form the basis of the SA2-level modeling used by AreaSearch, with gaps and post-2032 horizons supplemented by cohort-specific rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (using 2022 data). Demographic trajectories indicate the suburb of Mount Nasura will outpace the median growth rate of regions tracked by AreaSearch. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate the population will expand by 515 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 15.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
39 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Nasura over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, well below 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
Evaluations of ABS building approvals across corresponding statistical boundaries show the suburb of Mount Nasura averaging roughly 7 approved dwellings annually, totaling approximately 39 homes over the previous 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 5 approvals have been lodged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area added an average of 3.2 people per year for every home constructed, showing that demographic demand heavily outweighs fresh supply. This imbalance typically exerts upward pressure on home values and intensifies buyer demand. Newly approved residential builds reflect an average expected construction cost of $530,000, marginally exceeding the broader regional standard and pointing to higher-tier housing.
In addition, $2.6 million worth of commercial development approvals were logged this financial year, reflecting a modest level of non-residential building activity. Residential construction in the suburb of Mount Nasura lags behind Greater Perth substantially, sitting 73.0% below the regional per capita figure. Such limited additions to the housing stock tend to reinforce pricing resilience and buyer interest across existing dwellings. Activity levels also trail nationwide figures, illustrating the established nature of the suburb alongside possible planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent approvals have consisted exclusively of detached houses, preserving the traditional low-density suburban landscape oriented around spacious family living. The ratio of roughly 640 people per approval further demonstrates the maturity of the district. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Mount Nasura is on track to add 497 residents up to 2041, based on recent quarterly AreaSearch data. Should the prevailing cadence of residential building persist, construction output could fall short of resident inflows, tightening market conditions for buyers and underpinning future price escalation.

The plan guides future development, encourages redevelopment and improves streetscapes through zoning changes, building height controls and an implementation framework. It integrates with the METRONET Denny Avenue Level Crossing Removal project to create a better-functioning district centre with mixed-use residential, commercial and community outcomes. Potential yield ranges from 1,047 dwellings (potential scenario) to 3,468 dwellings (full scenario).Council recommended WAPC approval in February 2023; the plan is currently being assessed by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage on behalf of the WAPC. A concurrent Town Planning Scheme No. 4 Amendment No. 124 was initiated by Council in October 2023 and is progressing through EPA referral and Ministerial approval to commence advertising.
Forrestdale Business Park

The West portion, under DevelopmentWA authority, is being fast-tracked with the final stages of the Crossroads Industrial Estate released. Significant 2026 milestones include the completion of the 38 million dollar InterGrain R&D facility. The precinct serves as a major employment hub for Perth southeast corridor, hosting tenants like Hitachi, Western Power, and 7-Eleven.
Jull Street Mall Improvement Project
Enhancement of Jull Street Mall with upgraded street furniture, new seating options, bike racks, improved lighting including suspended catenary lighting, and landscaping improvements. The project aims to create a more inviting, functional, and safe public space in the heart of Armadale's shopping district, connecting to nearby developments like the new train station and TAFE campus.
1,743 residents of Mount Nasura are employed, from a labour force of 1,809. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,413, about 75% 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
Statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch demonstrate that the local workforce is notably skilled, showing solid representation within essential service industries, a low jobless rate of 3.6%, and 1.4% annual employment growth. By March 2026, total employed persons stood at 1,743, with unemployment tracking 0.5% beneath the 4.2% rate seen across Greater Perth. Labor force participation registered at 66.9%, trailing Greater Perth's 69.9%. Remote work was reported by only 7.7% of employed locals during the Census, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time must be taken into account. Key employment sectors for the local labor force include health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
In contrast, accommodation & food makes up a smaller portion of jobs at 3.8%, compared to the regional figure of 6.8%. Discrepancies between resident workers and local employment positions confirm that the district functions primarily as a dormitory suburb with limited workplace generation on site. Reviewing combined ABS and SALM figures over the trailing 12-month period reveals that employment climbed by 1.4% while the broader labor force grew by 1.6%, nudging local unemployment upward by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth recorded a 2.0% increase in jobs and a 2.5% expansion in its workforce, accompanied by a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. Looking ahead, national forecasts through Mar-26 from Jobs and Skills Australia present expectations for broader labor trends across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, job volume is modeled to lift by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector outcomes fluctuate widely. Projecting these macroeconomic trajectories across the local industry footprint points to potential job growth of 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (a basic weighted illustration that excludes distinct local population forecasts).

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 (2,997 at the 2021 Census → 3,233 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.
