Oxley Park

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

As of November 2025, Oxley Park's population is estimated at around 4,481 people. This reflects an increase of 284 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,197 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 4,470 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 73 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,528 persons per square kilometer, placing Oxley Park in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb's growth rate of 6.8% since the 2021 census exceeded both the SA3 area (4.4%) and the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Natural growth contributed approximately 53.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Considering projected demographic shifts, Oxley Park is expected to increase by 554 persons to reach approximately 5,035 people by 2041, reflecting an increase of 10.9% over the 17 years.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Oxley Park when compared nationally

Oxley Park averaged approximately 21 new dwelling approvals annually between FY-21 and FY-25, with a total of 107 homes approved during this period. In FY-26, up to the present date, 8 dwellings have been approved. Each year, around 3.5 people moved to the area for each dwelling built over the past five financial years.

This high demand has led to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction value of new dwellings is $177,000, below the regional average, indicating more affordable housing options. In FY-26, commercial approvals totalled $654,000, reflecting a predominantly residential focus in Oxley Park.

Compared to Greater Sydney, Oxley Park maintains similar construction rates per person, consistent with broader market balance. Recent construction comprises 59.0% standalone homes and 41.0% townhouses or apartments, offering diverse housing options across price brackets. This trend favours detached housing more than current patterns suggest (43.0% at Census), indicating strong demand for family homes despite increasing density pressures. Oxley Park has approximately 213 people per dwelling approval, suggesting room for growth. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, the area is expected to grow by 488 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.

However, professional & technical services employ only 5.8% of local workers, lower than Greater Sydney's 11.5%.

The predominantly residential area seems to offer limited local employment opportunities, indicated by the census working population vs resident population count. Over the year ending June 2025, labour force levels decreased by 2.6%, while employment declined by 2.3% in Oxley Park, causing unemployment to fall by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney saw employment growth of 2.6% and labour force growth of 2.9%. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 project overall employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Oxley Park's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes only and does not account for localized population projections.
