Sales Detail
Padbury has an estimated 9,732 residents, up from 8,626 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,106 people, or 12.8%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 52.0% of that increase. That puts 1,622 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
In the suburb of Padbury, current evaluations combining wider ABS demographic data with 35 validated new addresses identified by AreaSearch since the Census place the resident count at roughly 9,732 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 1,106 people (12.8%) compared to the 8,626 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement stems from an estimated resident tally of 9,714 established by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP release alongside post-Census address additions. The resulting density stands at 1,622 persons per square kilometer, outpacing typical figures recorded across national benchmark territories.
Moreover, the 12.8% expansion rate since the 2021 census positioned the suburb of Padbury ahead of both its broader SA3 district and the national average (9.5%), establishing it as a primary regional growth hub where natural growth accounted for approximately 52.0% of recent population additions. Population projections applied by AreaSearch incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models pegged to a 2022 baseline across individual SA2 zones. When SA2 data is unavailable or when modelling trends beyond 2032, cohort-based growth parameters from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (using 2022 data) are applied. For the suburb of Padbury, these combined SA2 forecasts point to an above median population growth rate relative to AreaSearch benchmark territories, anticipating an overall gain of 1,296 persons or 13.1% in total across the 16 years running to 2041.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
196 new dwellings have been approved in Padbury over the past five years, an average of 39 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 89% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, 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
Statistical evaluations of ABS building permits by AreaSearch indicate that annual residential construction approvals in Padbury have averaged around 39 dwellings, culminating in an estimated 196 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 30 so far in FY-25. Because an average of 6.6 people per year arrived locally for every home constructed across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local building activity trails behind incoming demand, fostering price growth and heightened competition among buyers while new homes are being built at an average value of $430,000.
Underscoring the dominant residential focus of the locality, commercial building approvals have totaled $1.2 million this financial year. Per capita building activity in Padbury sits 20.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period compared to Greater Perth, supporting buyer choices alongside solid underlying demand, yet volumes remain below national averages due to existing urban maturity and local planning boundaries. Detached houses account for 89.0% of all newly approved stock while townhouses or apartments constitute 11.0%, reinforcing the established suburban neighborhood character focused on spacious family living. The presence of approximately 326 people per dwelling approval further highlights the settled condition of the locality. According to the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch, Padbury is projected to add 1,278 residents leading up to 2041. While ongoing building maintains a reasonable pace alongside anticipated expansion, incoming demographic growth could generate tighter market competition for prospective purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Regents Garden Padbury Residential Aged Care Facility
A four-storey, 108-bed residential aged care facility proposed by Regents Garden Group on a 5,195 square metre lot at 77 Gibson Avenue, Padbury. The facility will deliver premium aged care services including 24/7 nursing care, respite care, palliative care, and dementia care. The Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel approved the application (DAP/23/02529) in July 2024, overturning the City of Joondalup's recommendation to refuse on height and scale grounds. Approval conditions include landscaping, waste management, and amended balcony setbacks.No construction has commenced as of mid-2025.
Chichester Park Skate Facility
Design and construction of a new community skate facility and associated park upgrades at Chichester Park. The City of Joondalup awarded the design and construction contract to Convic Pty Ltd in November 2025 for 422641 AUD ex GST. Construction commenced in July 2026 as part of an approximately 800000 AUD park upgrade including a beginner skate facility, renewed play space, basketball and netball pad upgrades, shelters, landscaping, pathways and park furniture.
Harbour Rise
Harbour Rise is a long established coastal estate on the hillside overlooking Hillarys Boat Harbour, directly across from Sorrento and Hillarys beaches and a short walk from the Sorrento Quay cafes, restaurants and shops. The estate was originally masterplanned and delivered by Estates Development Company, the last remaining beachfront landholding from the company's 1948 northern Perth land purchase, and has progressively built out over several decades into a high amenity residential community with landscaped streets, parks and pedestrian links to the harbour.Vacant lots along streets such as Seaward Loop and Padbury Circle have continued to trade into 2025, with several under offer or recently sold, meaning the estate is in its final stages with a small number of new executive homes still being built or sold off the plan. The estate is supported by an active home owners association and a specified area rate covering its shared landscaping and amenity.
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.
Whitfords Activity Centre Precinct (West) Redevelopment
Long-range mixed-use precinct renewal of the western portion of the Whitfords Activity Centre in Hillarys, encompassing residential apartments, retail expansion, civic spaces, and urban infill consistent with the City of Joondalup's activity centre strategy and Local Planning Scheme No. 3. The Westfield Whitford City site holds development approval for an 8-storey building with approximately 87 apartments, a 3-storey office building (3,720 sqm NLA), and a plaza, though construction has not yet commenced. Broader precinct planning for the western district is ongoing under the Whitford Activity Centre Structure Plan framework.
Seacrest Village Redevelopment
Over 55s independent living village in Sorrento providing 110 two and three bedroom villas and 59 one bedroom and bedsit units. The project focuses on ongoing refurbishment of villas and upgrades to shared spaces including the community lounge, heated pool, gym, three lane bowling green, craft room, library and social areas. A recent development application seeks approval for further upgrades to facilities and landscaping within the existing village rather than a full demolition and rebuild of the site.
The Harbour Hillarys
A landmark mixed-use development at the gateway to Hillarys Boat Harbour. The project features an 11-storey structure comprising 87 residential apartments and five commercial tenancies, including space for an independent grocery store and a restaurant/cafe. Designed by Hames Sharley, the building incorporates a 99kW solar PV array and targets a 4-Star Green Star rating. The development aims to provide a new retail hub and premium coastal living with 121 public parking bays and 128 resident bays.
Glengarry Shopping Centre Redevelopment

The project includes a 3,843sqm full-line Woolworths supermarket, a smaller 825sqm supermarket, 539sqm of specialty retail tenancies, a 346sqm restaurant/cafe, and 774sqm of office space. The development features 284 parking bays, including 209 basement bays and six direct-to-boot bays, aimed at revitalizing the underutilised local hub.
5,467 residents of Padbury are employed, from a labour force of 5,634. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 72.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,838, about 81% 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
Local labour market figures compiled by AreaSearch show that Padbury features a highly educated workforce with strong representation in core public services, an unemployment rate standing at just 3.0%, and annual employment expansion estimated at 3.9%. As of March 2026, 5,467 residents are employed, local joblessness tracks 1.2% below the 4.2% figure seen across Greater Perth, and the participation rate reaches 72.7% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Meanwhile, Census data indicated that a modest 9.0% of employed locals worked from home, though period-specific Covid-19 restrictions may have influenced this outcome.
Key sectors of resident employment include health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The local workforce demonstrates pronounced specialization in construction, employing 1.5 times the regional level, whereas retail trade represents an under-indexed sector engaging only 7.4% of Padbury workers against 9.3% in Greater Perth. In addition, comparing resident employee tallies to local workplace counts demonstrates the heavily residential nature of the district, which provides limited local commercial employment. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM records indicate that over the year to March 2026, a 3.9% rise in employed persons matched with a 3.8% increase in the labour force kept local unemployment steady. By contrast, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% employment gain, a 2.5% labour force rise, and a 0.4 percentage points increase in unemployment. Future labour projections can be evaluated against Jobs and Skills Australia forecasts published in Mar-26, which anticipate nationwide job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge across industries. Projecting these industry rates across the local workforce structure indicates that Padbury employment would rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, representing an illustrative weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate specific local demographic projections.

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 — 35 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,626 at the 2021 Census → 9,732 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.
