Nirimba Fields

Nirimba Fields lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

The population of the Nirimba Fields statistical area (Lv2) was estimated to be around 2,872 as of Nov 2025. This figure reflects an increase of 1,240 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,632 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,850 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 491 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,007 persons per square kilometer. The Nirimba Fields (SA2) saw a growth rate of 76.0% since the 2021 census, exceeding the state's growth rate of 7.6%. Population growth was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 56.00000000000001% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Population projections indicate a significant increase in the top quartile of Australian statistical areas, with the Nirimba Fields (SA2) expected to expand by 637 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a reduction of 10.8% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Nirimba Fields among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Between FY21 and FY25, Nirimba Fields had approximately 637 dwelling approvals. In FY26 up to now, there have been 19 approvals.

This results in an average of around 127 dwellings receiving approval annually over this period. The average number of people moving to the area per dwelling built is about 0.8 persons per year between FY21 and FY25. New supply has kept pace with or exceeded demand, offering ample buyer choice and creating capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts. The average construction cost value of new homes being built is approximately $466,000. Compared to Greater Sydney, Nirimba Fields shows 254.0% higher development activity per person.

This high level of activity reflects strong developer confidence in the area and should provide buyers with ample choice. However, development activity has moderated in recent periods. New development consists of 92.0% standalone homes and 8.0% attached dwellings, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. Interestingly, developers are building more traditional houses than the current mix suggests (62.0% at Census), indicating continued strong demand for family homes despite density pressures. The location has approximately 43 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. With population projections showing stability or decline, Nirimba Fields should see reduced housing demand pressures, benefiting potential buyers in the future.
