Sales Detail
Piccadilly (WA) has an estimated 2,527 residents, up from 2,305 at the 2021 Census — a change of 222 people, or 9.6%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 60.0% of that increase. That puts 1,707 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
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Piccadilly (WA)'s population is estimated at around 2,527 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 222 people (9.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,305 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,527, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and address validation since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,707 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Piccadilly's 9.6% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (7.5%), along with the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth that contributed approximately 60.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and to estimate growth across all areas in the years post-2032, AreaSearch is utilising the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Moving forward with demographic trends, a population increase just below the median of Australia's regional areas is expected, with the area expected to grow by 188 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting with an increase of 7.4% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Dwelling construction in Piccadilly remains very quiet, with only two structural approvals granted on average each year, totaling 11 over the span of five years. This low volume of building is typical of countryside localities where residential requirements are modest and expansion is restricted by localized demand and infrastructure constraints. Because the total number of permits is so small, single building tasks can heavily alter annual growth figures and relative comparisons. Piccadilly records a much lower rate of building approvals than the Rest of WA, with development also lagging far behind countrywide averages.
Of the recent residential approvals, 50.0% were for standalone houses and 50.0% were for medium to high-density layouts. This movement toward denser options provides more accessible pathways for buyers and is attractive to downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a distinct transition from the current housing landscape where houses make up 79.0% of dwellings, pointing to a shrinking supply of vacant buildable plots alongside changing lifestyle preferences and the demand for more varied, budget-friendly choices. With a ratio of approximately 716 people for every single approved dwelling, the local housing market shows high maturity. Demographic projections indicate that Piccadilly will add 188 inhabitants through to 2041, according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current slow pace, the supply of new housing may not keep up with population expansion, which could intensify competition among buyers and help drive up property values.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Goldfields Pipeline Renewal (Stage 1)
Stage 1 of a long-term, 70-year program to renew the historic 566km Goldfields and Agricultural Water Supply Scheme (GAWSS), which was commissioned in 1903 and runs from Mundaring Weir near Perth to Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The first stage involves replacing 44.5km of ageing original pipe with new sections installed primarily below ground in the Shires of Merredin, Westonia, and Yilgarn. Works also include valve upgrades to improve network reliability and a major expansion of the Binduli Reservoir in Kalgoorlie, doubling its storage capacity.The upgrades will lift scheme capacity by up to 7.2 million litres per day from 2027 to support residential, mining and industrial growth across the Goldfields and Wheatbelt while preserving the pipeline's National Heritage values. Funded through a 543 million dollar commitment in the 2025-26 State Budget. Heritage Management Plan and Interpretation Strategy were approved by the Commonwealth Government in July 2025. Construction is scheduled to commence in May 2026 and complete by late 2027.
Kalgoorlie Rail Realignment
The project involves realigning the rail line through Kalgoorlie to bypass the Super Pit gold mine, remove 25 kilometers of existing track, and construct new lines connected to an intermodal hub. It aims to reduce pressure on Fremantle Port, streamline transport, and support industrial development. A business case was delivered by Deloitte and Arup for the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission in partnership with the Australian and Western Australian governments.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder Water Bank Project
A multi-stage water security initiative led by the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder to strengthen the city's non-potable water supply through improved stormwater capture, recycled water treatment, and storage infrastructure. Stage 1 (around 19 million dollars) covers the Rock Filter upgrade at the South Boulder Wastewater Treatment Plant and a new water recycling dam at the existing Racecourse Dam site. Stage 2 (around 46.3 million dollars) adds two further dams plus a pipeline and pump station to move recycled water to Swan Lakes Dam.Stage 3 (around 26.7 million dollars) delivers another dam, a pilot desalination plant in partnership with industry, and evaporative controls on selected dams and basins. The program builds on 12.2 million dollars already invested between 2020 and 2023 to upgrade the South Boulder treatment lagoons, and aims to reduce the city's reliance on the Goldfields Pipeline as the population grows and major industrial users such as Lynas Rare Earths increase demand. The City is continuing to seek state and federal funding to deliver the remaining stages.
Lot 101 Brookman Street Redevelopment
Redevelopment of the 1.52-hectare former Coles and Kmart site in the Kalgoorlie CBD. Following an EOI process for demolition and mixed-use development in 2024, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is progressing planning for a high-density precinct under LPS2. The site is zoned Commercial R-AC1, allowing for up to 9 storeys with required active non-residential uses at ground level. As of May 2026, the project remains in the pre-development planning phase with a focus on heritage-sensitive demolition and CBD activation.
KCGM 800-Bed Workers Accommodation Camp
An 800-bed workforce accommodation facility for Northern Star Resources supporting the KCGM Growth Project and Super Pit expansion. The approved development includes 200 four-room accommodation cabins, communal dining, gym, laundry, offices, maintenance facilities, parking, a new water pipeline and sewer connection. Following revisions to address planning concerns, the WA Development Assessment Panel approved the project in July 2025. The camp will support construction and operational workforce requirements associated with the KCGM expansion.
GreenView at Karlkurla
GreenView at Karlkurla is a residential land estate in Kalgoorlie, WA, delivered by DevelopmentWA on Karru Way, adjacent to the Kalgoorlie Golf Course and natural bushland. The estate is being released in stages, with Stage 4 now titled and almost fully sold, offering lots from 638sqm to 1,039sqm starting at $205,000. The estate includes a landscaped park with a children's playground and dual-use pathways, and previously included a component of social housing lots. It sits close to Hannans Boulevard Shopping Centre and North Kalgoorlie Primary School, and provides a mix of single residential and multi-residential (townhouse/apartment) lots across roughly 130 total homesites.
Lot 505 Kalgoorlie Industrial Area
The project involves the future development of 206 to 214 hectares of industrial-zoned land located south-west of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The area is planned to feature larger general industrial lots to cater for typical general and heavier industrial users, providing access to a RAV10 heavy vehicle road network and existing rail networks.
Goldfields Basketball Stadium Revitalisation
$14.8m revitalisation of the regional basketball stadium delivering two additional indoor courts (including a show court with tiered seating), refurbished existing courts, new changerooms, public amenities, first aid room, canteen, function space, administration and club facilities, and increased storage. Officially opened on 30 Jan 2025.
1,506 residents of Piccadilly (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,545. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 76.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,784, about 71% 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
A highly qualified labor force characterizes Piccadilly, featuring a strong concentration in industrial and manufacturing jobs, a jobless rate of only 2.5%, and an annual employment expansion estimated at 3.0% based on combined local statistics compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, the employed population stood at 1,506, with an unemployment rate 1.0% lower than the 3.5% average for Regional WA, while workforce participation reached an elevated 76.7% compared to the 65.6% benchmark for Regional WA. Census responses indicate that a tiny 1.5% of the workforce operated from home, though the influence of pandemic restrictions should be taken into account.
The local workforce is heavily concentrated in mining, healthcare and social assistance, and the education and training sectors. Mining is especially prominent, with the share of workers in this field reaching 2.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, agricultural, forestry, and fishing enterprises are underrepresented, accounting for a mere 0.2% of workers in Piccadilly compared to 9.3% in Regional WA. Given the mismatch between the size of the working population recorded in the Census and the number of residents, the local neighborhood itself appears to provide few job opportunities directly within its boundaries. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from surrounding geographic sectors shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 3.0% and the overall labor pool grew by 3.2%, leading to a small 0.2 percentage point rise in the jobless rate. This pattern differed from Regional WA, which saw employment shrink by 0.1%, the labor force expand by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate rise by 0.4 percentage points. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future labor needs in Piccadilly. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local industry profile to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these sectoral growth projections to the local employment mix suggests that jobs in Piccadilly will grow by 5.3% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation that does not factor in 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,305 at the 2021 Census → 2,527 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 May 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.
