AreaSearch's projections for Myaree are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and post-2032 growth estimation, AreaSearch utilises ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023, based on 2022 data. Considering these projections, an above median population growth is anticipated for the suburb, with an expected increase of 409 persons to reach a total population of 2,789 by 2041, reflecting a 12.8% increase over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Myaree recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Myaree recorded around 19 residential properties granted approval per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 99 homes. So far in FY26, 5 approvals have been recorded. Over these five years, an average of 1.7 new residents per year per dwelling constructed was observed. This indicates a balanced supply and demand, creating stable market conditions.

The average construction cost value for new homes over this period is $724,000, suggesting developers focus on the premium market with high-end developments. In FY26, $3.5 million in commercial approvals have been registered, reflecting the area's residential character. Compared to Greater Perth, Myaree shows moderately higher construction activity, 44.0% above the regional average per person over the five-year period.

This preserves reasonable buyer options while sustaining existing property demand, although recent construction activity has eased. Recent construction comprises 82.0% standalone homes and 18.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. With around 180 people per dwelling approval, Myaree shows characteristics of a growth area. Looking ahead, Myaree is expected to grow by 304 residents through to 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Given current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.
