Sales Detail
Romsey has an estimated 6,233 residents, up from 5,797 at the 2021 Census — a change of 436 people, or 7.5%. Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 53.0% of that increase. Density is about 77 people per 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 investigations of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region, combined with newly validated addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Romsey has an estimated residency of 6,233 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 436 people (7.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,797 people. The calculation is derived from a resident count of 6,224, assessed by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 61 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 76 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density with potential room for future expansions.
Throughout the last ten years, the suburb of Romsey has shown steady expansion with a 2.7% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the SA3 area. Population gains in the area were mostly driven by natural increase, which made up about 53.0% of total growth in recent times, though all indicators, including interstate and overseas migration, remained positive. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, a substantial population rise in the top quartile of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is anticipated, with the area projected to grow by 2,418 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, showing a total increase of 38.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
176 new dwellings have been approved in Romsey over the past five years, an average of 35 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 24 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 26, 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, Romsey averages about 35 approved new homes annually, with an estimated total of 176 homes over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 24 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.2 new residents per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, which generally increases buyer competition and raises prices, while new dwellings carry an average construction cost of $578,000, indicating developers are focusing on the higher-end premium market.
Furthermore, $1.9 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, pointing to a mostly residential emphasis. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Romsey generates about 68% of the building activity per person, ranking in the 52nd percentile of areas evaluated nationally. New construction is composed of 96.0% detached houses and 4.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the low density profile of the area and highlighting family homes for residents seeking space. With around 310 people per approval, Romsey shows a transitioning market. Looking forward, Romsey is projected to add 2,409 residents through to 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current rates of construction, housing supply might struggle to keep pace with population growth, which could intensify competition among buyers and support price growth.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct
The Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct is a staged regional sport and recreation development at New Gisborne, spread across two interconnected sites at the intersection of Barringo and Hamilton roads. It is the largest capital works project ever undertaken by Macedon Ranges Shire Council. Stage One, budgeted at over $29 million, opened on 28 June 2024 and delivered a three-court indoor sports stadium with spectator seating, kiosk, sport administration office and amenities on the western site, plus a natural turf AFL and cricket oval, pavilion with change rooms, fitness loop, half-court basketball, playground, outdoor table tennis, barbecue areas, wetland and car parking on the eastern site.Stage Two, valued at $17 million and funded by $15 million from the Australian Government and $2 million from Council, commenced in November 2025 under contractors Harris HMC (western stadium extension) and ACE Infrastructure (eastern sports fields). Stage Two adds three further multi-use indoor courts, four gender-neutral changerooms, additional offices, amenities and parking on the western site, and a second natural turf oval, two outdoor netball courts and further car parking on the eastern site. Construction progressed through 2026 with oval turf works completed and structural steel erected for the stadium extension by April 2026. Eastern side completion is expected mid-2026 and western side completion late 2026, with all new facilities open in early 2027. A proposed Stage Three, estimated at $15.5 million and still seeking external funding, would add retractable seating, a function and multi-purpose room extension, a canopy linking the existing netball courts to the sports hub, a pavilion extension and cricket nets. The precinct serves more than 3,300 participants across basketball, netball, AFL, cricket, futsal, volleyball and badminton, and adjoins the eight-court Macedon Ranges Regional Netball Complex.

3,449 residents of Romsey are employed, from a labour force of 3,518. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 70.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,726, about 76% 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
Romsey has a skilled labor force, particularly in the construction sector, with an unemployment rate of only 2.0% and relatively steady employment levels over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,449 residents are employed, which is 2.8% below the Greater Melbourne unemployment rate of 4.8%, while workforce participation is very close to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%. Census figures indicate a moderate 23.4% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind. Resident employment is concentrated in construction, health care & social assistance, and transport, postal & warehousing.
The local area displays a notable specialization in construction, with an employment share that is 1.8 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, making up only 4.8% of Romsey's workforce compared to 10.1% in Greater Melbourne. The locality appears to have a shortage of jobs internally, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population to the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from broader statistical regions, over the 12 months to March 2026, labor force numbers contracted by 0.8% alongside a 0.1% drop in employment, which reduced the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1%, the labor force expand by 2.3%, and unemployment increase by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspectives on future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been mapped against the local employment distribution to estimate growth. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary considerably by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to Romsey's employment distribution suggests local employment should rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population 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 — 61 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,797 at the 2021 Census → 6,233 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL22193). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
