This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Rostrevor has an estimated 8,557 residents, up from 8,452 at the 2021 Census — a change of 105 people, or 1.2%. That puts 1,868 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
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Rostrevor is estimated at roughly 8,557, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases and post-Census address validations. This indicates an addition of 105 people (1.2%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 8,452 people. Such growth stems from an estimated resident count of 8,505 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 91 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Rostrevor registers a population density of 1,868 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across nationwide locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Inward overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 96.0% of recent population additions. Demographic forecasting by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections pegged to a 2022 baseline for each SA2. For unrepresented areas or intervals beyond 2032, models integrate 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort figures based on 2021 numbers, adjusted by distributing LGA expansion to the SA2 tier via weighted aggregation. These forward-looking trends point to above-median demographic gains for the suburb of Rostrevor relative to other areas evaluated by AreaSearch, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting an increase of 1,867 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 21.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
344 new dwellings have been approved in Rostrevor over the past five years, an average of 68 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 66 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 76% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 57, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Rostrevor registers approximately 68 approved residential dwellings each year. A total of 344 homes secured development approval across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), including 57 during FY-25 to date. Solid demand underpinning local real estate is highlighted by an influx of 2.1 new residents per annum for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). Furthermore, newly approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $506,000, underscoring developer emphasis on premium, upscale residential projects.
Alongside this, $6.4 million in commercial development approvals was recorded in the current financial year, reinforcing the suburb's predominantly residential character. Residential building activity in Rostrevor tracks 14.0% above the regional average per person over the 5 year period compared with Greater Adelaide, maintaining ample housing choices for purchasers while safeguarding established real estate values. Approvals consist of 76.0% detached houses and 24.0% attached dwellings, preserving the community's spacious, family-focused suburban environment. Reflecting a low-density urban setting, the area records roughly 150 people per dwelling approval. Long-term forecasts derived from AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimates anticipate that Rostrevor will expand by 1,815 residents by 2041. Ongoing building activity aligns well with projected population requirements, supporting balanced market fundamentals and preventing extreme pricing strain.

Campbelltown Community Heart - New Council Office
Following extensive community consultation in late 2025, Campbelltown City Council resolved in December 2025 to proceed with a new, fit-for-purpose Council Office at the existing precinct at 172 Montacute Road, Rostrevor (Option A). The 1968 office building is outdated, overcrowded and no longer fit for purpose. A PAC was deferred as a potential second stage, to be explored after the new office is delivered. The Alinea Group was engaged to develop concept models for the site.Detailed planning is now underway. The project is part of Council's broader Creating our Community Heart vision for the Montacute Road precinct.

The plan addresses existing conditions, access and safety issues, proposing new alignments, materials, furniture, biodiversity improvements, and upgraded signage. Implementation continues through multiple staged projects; the Fourth Creek Morialta Parri Trail upgrade at Denis Morrissey Park, Hectorville, was officially launched in February 2024, co-funded by the SA Government Planning and Development Fund Open Space Grant Program ($225,000).Further works are funded through Councils open space strategy and annual business plans.
The Crest Rostrevor
Boutique completed development of 12 luxury townhouses on Montacute Road in the foothills of Rostrevor, delivered in 2023 and providing higher density housing close to schools, shops and public transport.
4,299 residents of Rostrevor are employed, from a labour force of 4,396. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 63.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,051, about 82% 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
Workforce analysis by AreaSearch shows that Rostrevor possesses a highly qualified labour pool with substantial participation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.2%, and 2.2% job growth over the preceding year. Employed residents totaled 4,299 as of March 2026. The local jobless rate sits 1.6% lower than the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide, though labour force participation is slightly subdued at 63.0% versus 66.4% across Greater Adelaide. Meanwhile, Census records show only 12.4% of workers operated from home, an outcome that may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The suburb displays notable specialization within education & training, holding an employment concentration 1.3 times the wider regional benchmark. In contrast, health care & social assistance accounts for 16.4% of workers locally, compared to the regional figure of 17.7%. Given the disparity between the Census working population and resident counts, this predominantly suburban locality provides relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch's analysis of broader statistical area SALM and ABS figures, the local labour market expanded by 2.2% alongside a 1.9% rise in the labour pool over the 12-month period, reducing local unemployment by 0.3 percentage points. Across Greater Adelaide, employment and labour force totals grew by 4.2% and 4.0% respectively, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. Broader perspective on future workforce needs comes from Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections dated Mar-26. While country-wide employment is anticipated to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, trajectories vary by sector. Aligning these national sectoral trends with Rostrevor's industry composition suggests potential local employment expansion of 6.7% across five years and 13.9% across ten years (noting this illustrative weighting model does not incorporate 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 — 91 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,452 at the 2021 Census → 8,557 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.
