Sales Detail
Ocean Reef has an estimated 9,008 residents, up from 8,125 at the 2021 Census — a change of 883 people, or 10.9%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 85.0% of that increase. That puts 1,713 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 broader ABS demographic updates with new post-Census address validations, the suburb of Ocean Reef records an estimated population of approximately 9,008 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 883 people (10.9%) compared to the 8,125 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from an estimated resident base of 8,985 established via the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 24 validated new addresses added following the Census date. Consequently, population density stands at 1,712 persons per square kilometer, tracking above the national norm across benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the suburb of Ocean Reef outpaced the wider Australian growth benchmark of 9.5% with its 10.9% gain since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional pacesetter. Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 85.0% of all recent demographic expansion. Population modelling by AreaSearch utilizes the ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 baseline). Where specific SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, projections incorporate age-cohort expansion rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region data (published in 2023 from 2022 numbers). Anticipated demographic changes point toward above-median expansion relative to Australian statistical divisions, with the suburb of Ocean Reef forecast to add 1,081 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 figures, translating to an overall 16-year increase of 11.8%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
72 new dwellings have been approved in Ocean Reef over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that the local residential pipeline averages roughly 14 property approvals annually, totaling approximately 72 dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years, with 10 approvals logged during FY-25 to date. Housing demand continues to heavily outstrip construction, averaging 13.2 new residents per year for every home built across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, which exerts strong upward pressure on market values and sharpens buyer competition. Concurrently, average construction costs for incoming stock reach $577,000, underscoring a strategic emphasis among developers on upmarket, premium offerings.
Commercial construction activity is also tracking at a moderate pace, supported by $10.9 million in approved non-residential developments over the current financial year. Construction activity in the locality trails Greater Perth substantially, sitting 53.0% below the regional average on a per-capita basis. This constrained flow of new building volume serves to reinforce demand and bolster values across the established residential market. Such below-average volumes by national standards reflect both the established maturity of the area and the presence of planning restrictions. Furthermore, recent development is exclusively comprised of detached homes, preserving the neighborhood's low-density suburban fabric and catering to households seeking standalone space, with an elevated ratio of around 936 people per approval. Demographic projections anticipate an influx of 1,058 residents by 2041, based on recent AreaSearch quarterly modeling. With building approvals remaining at subdued levels, new residential supply will face challenges in keeping pace with population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward price momentum.

A separate Ramsay-funded 190 million dollar Joondalup Private Hospital expansion was completed and opened to patients in early 2026, lifting bed numbers from 150 to 202 with six new operating theatres.
Ocean Reef Marina Residential Lots Stage 1
First stage residential development within Ocean Reef Marina precinct. Features 68 premium residential lots and 3 apartment sites with waterfront access, coastal lifestyle amenities, and integrated community facilities.
5,220 residents of Ocean Reef are employed, from a labour force of 5,335. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 71.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,207, about 80% 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
The local labour market features a highly educated workforce with strong representation across essential services, an unemployment rate standing at a modest 2.2%, and annual employment growth estimated at 3.3% according to aggregated statistical area figures from AreaSearch. By March 2026, employed residents reached 5,220, the local jobless rate sat 2.0% below the Greater Perth mark of 4.2%, and labour force participation aligned closely with the broader metropolitan figure of 69.9%. Remote work was recorded among 11.6% of workers in Census returns, though pandemic conditions during that period provide relevant context.
The primary employment sectors for resident workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The local workforce exhibits strong sector concentration in construction, where its employment share reaches 1.4 times regional levels. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing accounts for merely 3.0% of working locals, trailing the Greater Perth share of 4.7%. As an established residential enclave, the area provides relatively few internal employment positions relative to its resident worker base, as demonstrated by Census workplace comparisons. According to combined ABS and SALM figures compiled by AreaSearch across broader statistical boundaries, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment climb by 3.3% while the labour force expanded by 3.9%, yielding a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0%, labour force gains of 2.5%, and an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. Forward projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour trends. National forecasts anticipate total employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variation across individual industry sectors. When mapped onto the existing local workforce distribution, these projections indicate anticipated employment growth of 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this weighting model serves illustrative purposes and excludes micro-level population changes).

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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,125 at the 2021 Census → 9,008 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 (SAL51176). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
