Sales Detail
Newton has an estimated 5,490 residents, up from 5,117 at the 2021 Census — a change of 373 people, or 7.3%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,530 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
Evaluating broad-area updates from the ABS along with address validation performed by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Newton reaches a population estimate near 5,490 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 373 people (7.3%) compared to the 5,117 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is deduced from AreaSearch's figure of 5,413 residents following the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 57 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 2,530 persons per square kilometer, the suburb's density places in the top quarter of nationwide localities evaluated by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Newton matches broader state trends closely, trailing South Australia's 7.7% rate by only 0.4 percentage points, highlighting sound growth dynamics. Inbound international relocation served as the primary and almost exclusive contributor to recent population gains. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia using a 2022 baseline are applied across SA2 boundaries. In instances without coverage or spanning past 2032, state regional and LGA projections by age cohort from 2023 (utilising 2021 numbers) are integrated via a population-weighted aggregation technique converting LGA data to SA2 geography. Looking ahead, the suburb of Newton is anticipated to outpace the national median for population gains, adding 943 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 figures to record a cumulative rise of 15.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
202 new dwellings have been approved in Newton over the past five years, an average of 40 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 60% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential construction permits across statistical zones, Newton has averaged roughly 40 residential building approvals annually, generating an estimated 202 dwellings throughout the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 35 approvals have been lodged. Over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 1.8 incoming residents per completed dwelling demonstrates a well-matched balance between housing demand and incoming supply, underpinning market stability alongside an average construction cost of $398,000 per residence. Furthermore, non-residential investment remains steady, evidenced by $11.0 million in commercial building approvals during the ongoing financial year.
Per-capita construction volumes in Newton sit 17.0% lower than the Greater Adelaide benchmark, positioning the locality in the 77th percentile across Australia despite a recent pickup in building momentum. Recent residential developments comprise 60.0% standalone houses and 40.0% higher-density alternatives, incorporating an increasing volume of townhouses and units that cater to diverse budgets, ranging from single-family properties to entry-level compact options. With approximately 139 people per approved dwelling, Newton exhibits clear hallmarks of an expanding urban centre. Longer-term demographic forecasts anticipate Newton gaining 866 residents through to 2041 relative to AreaSearch's most recent quarterly baseline. Under prevailing building rates, residential completions appear well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, establishing supportive purchasing conditions while potentially facilitating pace beyond anticipated projections.

Thorndon Park Reserve Master Plan Implementation
Staged upgrade and implementation of the Thorndon Park Master Plan in Paradise, SA. Completed works include the all-inclusive Super Playground (opened December 2022), car parking improvements, and Hamilton Terrace entrance upgrade. Stage 1 community consultation on the revised Draft Master Plan closed November 2025, with Council considering engagement outcomes at its 21 April 2026 meeting. Future projects under consideration include improved oval space, enhanced wetlands and lake edging, a revamped central plaza and kiosk, amphitheatre relocation, heritage building repurposing, and potential accommodation bays.
Campbelltown Community Heart - New Council Office
Following extensive community consultation in late 2025, Campbelltown City Council resolved in December 2025 to proceed with a new, fit-for-purpose Council Office at the existing precinct at 172 Montacute Road, Rostrevor (Option A). The 1968 office building is outdated, overcrowded and no longer fit for purpose. A PAC was deferred as a potential second stage, to be explored after the new office is delivered. The Alinea Group was engaged to develop concept models for the site.Detailed planning is now underway. The project is part of Council's broader Creating our Community Heart vision for the Montacute Road precinct.
Modbury Hospital Redevelopment
A $117 million expansion of Modbury Hospital featuring the new South Wing. The project delivered a Mental Health Precinct with a 24-bed rehabilitation unit and a 20-bed older persons unit, the North Eastern Cancer Centre with 12 chemotherapy chairs, and a five-storey multi-deck car park for over 300 vehicles. This redevelopment modernizes the facility to provide specialized care closer to home for Adelaide's north-eastern community.
Rostrevor College Master Plan Redevelopment

Works include the Mackey Mall renewal, classroom refurbishments, new learning and wellbeing spaces, upgraded boarding facilities at Duggan House, health centre improvements, perimeter safety upgrades and ongoing campus enhancements to support future enrolment growth and modern teaching environments.
Chain of Trails Master Plan
A strategic master plan endorsed by the City of Campbelltown in 2014 to guide staged upgrades to around 10 km of creek line trails along Third, Fourth and Fifth Creeks, creating a safer and more accessible trail network from the foothills to the River Torrens Linear Park. The plan addresses existing conditions, access and safety issues, proposing new alignments, materials, furniture, biodiversity improvements, and upgraded signage. Implementation continues through multiple staged projects; the Fourth Creek Morialta Parri Trail upgrade at Denis Morrissey Park, Hectorville, was officially launched in February 2024, co-funded by the SA Government Planning and Development Fund Open Space Grant Program ($225,000).Further works are funded through Councils open space strategy and annual business plans.
Campbelltown Performing Arts Centre
A proposed community performing arts centre (PAC) forming part of Campbelltown City Council's 'Creating our Community Heart' project at 172 Montacute Road. Following community consultation in late 2025, Council resolved to prioritise the construction of a new Council Office first, with the PAC to be explored as a potential future development stage. The venue was previously envisioned as a 500-seat theatre to support local creatives, diverse performances, and civic events.
Highbury Aqueduct Reserve Master Plan Implementation
Staged implementation of the 2013 Highbury Aqueduct Reserve Master Plan, transforming the former aqueduct lands into a 50 hectare linear park with shared walking and cycling trails, revegetation, erosion control and stormwater management works. Of the five major stormwater projects identified in the Master Plan, three have been completed along with four minor works, most recently a 2023 project near Freshford Avenue that replaced an eroded dam wall with rock chute structures and stabilised the channel.Tree removal and remediation works are currently underway along a section of the Aqueduct Trail. The reserve connects to the River Torrens Linear Park and includes the Pioneer Court Community Garden and a Bush For Life conservation site.

3,076 residents of Newton are employed, from a labour force of 3,176. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 68.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Newton features an educated local labour pool characterised by strong representation in community and essential services, an unemployment level of merely 3.1%, and an estimated 5.1% rise in working headcount over the past twelve months per aggregated AreaSearch statistical data. As of March 2026, employed locals number 3,076, keeping unemployment 0.7% below the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 3.8%, while labour force engagement stands at a solid 68.9% versus 66.4% across the wider metropolitan area. Remote working was recorded by only 9.7% of working residents at the Census, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during that period should be noted.
Primary employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. Conversely, industrial production represents a smaller segment of the workforce, with manufacturing engaging 5.3% of workers in Newton against 7.0% throughout Greater Adelaide. Although neighbourhood job opportunities are present, comparing Census worker counts against resident figures reveals that a substantial share of the local labour force travels outside the area for employment. According to ABS and SALM figures compiled across statistical boundaries by AreaSearch, the twelve months leading to March 2026 saw local employment expand by 5.1% alongside a 4.9% expansion in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 0.1 percentage points. Across Greater Adelaide, employment grew by 4.2%, the labour force climbed 4.0%, and joblessness decreased by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking perspectives from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 outline national employment growth expectations over five- and ten-year horizons, which have been aligned with the local industry distribution. On a nationwide scale, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with sector performances varying widely. Applying these industry growth estimates to Newton's resident employment base yields projected local job expansions of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing an illustrative weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate bespoke 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 — 57 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,117 at the 2021 Census → 5,490 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.
