Roseville Chase is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population of Roseville Chase is around 1,687 people. This reflects an increase from the 2021 Census figure of 1,618 people, representing a growth of 69 individuals (4.3%). The current resident population estimate of 1,652 by AreaSearch, following examination of the latest ABS ERP data release in June 2024 and address validation since the Census date, indicates a density ratio of 1,338 persons per square kilometer, which is higher than the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Over the past decade (2015-2025), Roseville Chase has demonstrated steady growth with a compound annual growth rate of 0.9%, outperforming its SA3 area. Overseas migration contributed approximately 92.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. For projections, AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia's SA2-level projections released in 2024 with a base year of 2022.

For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 are used. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb is expected to grow by 217 persons to reach a population of approximately 1,904 by 2041, reflecting an increase of 12.7% over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Roseville Chase according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Roseville Chase had virtually no dwelling approvals in recent years. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an estimated 4 homes were approved, with 1 more approved in FY-26.

This results in an average of 6.2 people moving to the area per year for each dwelling built over these five financial years. The demand significantly outpaces supply, which typically puts upward pressure on prices and increases competition among buyers. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $900,000, indicating developers target the premium market segment with higher-end properties. Compared to Greater Sydney, Roseville Chase records markedly lower building activity, 87.0% below regional average per person. This constrained new construction usually reinforces demand and pricing for existing dwellings. However, development activity has picked up in recent periods. Nationally, this is also lower, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints.
