Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in San Remo (Vic.)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

438 new dwellings have been approved in San Remo (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 87 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 28 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 75 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 96, 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

Building approvals tracked by AreaSearch from ABS statistical collections indicate that San Remo has maintained a development pace of roughly 87 approved residential dwellings each year, amounting to approximately 438 homes across the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 96 residential approvals have been documented. With an influx of 3.5 new residents per completed residence recorded annually over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, underlying demand comfortably outpaces new construction supply, typically driving property values higher and heightening buyer competition. Furthermore, the average expected construction cost for newly approved dwellings stands at $511,000—above regional averages—demonstrating a commitment to superior build quality.

Commercial activity has also added $15.9 million in approved projects during this financial year, reflecting a steady pace of non-residential development. Relative to Rest of Vic., San Remo records 248.0% greater building activity on a per-capita basis, creating expanded possibilities for prospective purchasers. This elevated level substantially exceeds the Australian benchmark, highlighting substantial developer commitment to the community. Approvals remain heavily weighted toward freestanding homes, which account for 95.0% of new residential activity compared to 5.0% for medium and high-density formats, thereby preserving the low-density coastal atmosphere and supplying spacious family dwellings. With a ratio of approximately 30 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical characteristics of an expanding growth hub. Looking forward, the residential population is projected to expand by 1,391 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at current rates, incoming residential supply will comfortably satisfy future demand, fostering favourable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond baseline demographic expectations.

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 — 162 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,700 at the 2021 Census → 3,079 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL22229). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do San Remo (Vic.) suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this San Remo (Vic.) page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the San Remo (Vic.) data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Apr 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
