Sales Detail
Sanctuary Point has an estimated 7,749 residents, down from 7,874 at the 2021 Census — a change of 125 people, or 1.6%. That puts 1,294 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
In the suburb of Sanctuary Point, the population is estimated at approximately 7,749 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 7,874 people, this indicates a reduction of 125 people (1.6%). This adjustment stems from an AreaSearch resident population estimate of 7,730 following the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 29 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With a density of 1,293 persons per square kilometer, the area exceeds national benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
Inflow from overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, generating roughly 77.0% of recent population additions. Demographic modelling by AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures based on 2021 where necessary. Projected age-cohort growth rates are extended across all locations from 2032 to 2041. In the suburb of Sanctuary Point, future demographic expansion is projected to outpace median rates for regional non-metropolitan Australia, adding 1,591 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 projections to achieve an overall gain of 20.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
89 new dwellings have been approved in Sanctuary Point over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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
Residential planning approvals in Sanctuary Point have averaged approximately 17 dwellings annually, reaching an estimated 89 homes across the last 5 financial years based on ABS building statistics compiled by AreaSearch. During FY-25 so far, approvals stand at 18. Amid recent population contraction, this influx of housing supply has maintained balance with market requirements, delivering adequate purchasing options with newly built homes carrying an average expected construction cost of $437,000. Additionally, non-residential building approvals reached $898,000 this financial year, underscoring an emphasis on housing. Residential building volumes in Sanctuary Point lag significantly behind regional trends, sitting 64.0% below the per-capita average for Rest of NSW.
Such constrained construction activity typically reinforces demand and supports pricing for existing stock, while also trailing nationwide levels due to local planning constraints and market maturity. Contemporary development pipelines comprise 74.0% detached houses alongside 26.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving suburban character while accommodating family living. This composition diverges from the historical baseline of 95.0% houses, reflecting shifting affordability requirements, evolving lifestyle demands, and a diminishing pool of greenfield sites. An established market profile is further indicated by a ratio of roughly 534 people per dwelling approval. Long-term forecasts indicate Sanctuary Point will add 1,572 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction volumes persist unchanged, residential supply may struggle to accommodate population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and placing upward pressure on capital values.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
New Sanctuary Point Library
Shoalhaven City Council is delivering a new district library at the corner of Paradise Beach Road and Kerry Street in Sanctuary Point, replacing the undersized existing branch that marked its 30-year anniversary in May 2025 and serving more than 30,000 residents across the Bay and Basin communities. After the April 2025 decision to abandon the Kerry Street corner over parking concerns, Council reinstated the site at its 28 October 2025 meeting and in November 2025 endorsed a single-storey building of approximately 1,000 sqm gross floor area, inspired by Warilla Library, in place of the earlier two-storey scheme.In April 2026 the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure confirmed the $7.5 million federal Priority Community Infrastructure Program grant was tied to the original $30 million two-storey design and could not be varied to the cheaper single-storey option. At its Ordinary Meeting on 29 June 2026 Council resolved (7-6) to borrow up to $14.4 million phased over four years to fund delivery, against a feasibility cost estimate of about $14.9 million, and to keep pursuing state and federal contributions. A rescission motion at an extraordinary meeting the following night was defeated 6-7, leaving in place an added direction for staff to investigate building on two rather than four of the council-owned Kerry Street lots, which triggers a further feasibility study due by 30 June 2027. Remaining phases are detailed design and technical investigations, development application and consent, business case review, construction documentation, tender and construction certificate, after which the project is considered shovel-ready. Council lists an estimated completion date of 31 December 2030, with an end-2029 opening possible if the loan drawdown schedule holds.
Tahnee Street Residential Development
Approved development site for a 90-place childcare centre and 12 townhouses in Sanctuary Point, offering a blend of community amenity and housing in a rapidly growing area.
Paradise Beach Road Multi Dwelling Housing
Rezoning to R2 Low Density Residential and amendment to maximum building height to 11m to facilitate multi-dwelling housing on the former Anglican Church site, approximately 14 townhouses.
Revitalise Sanctuary Point
Revitalise Sanctuary Point is a community-led project that created a master plan to refresh and revitalize the Sanctuary Point Shopping Precinct. Key features include repairs and restoration of the Paradise Beach Road car park and walkways, installation of wheel stops, bollards, two disabled access car parks, creation of two alfresco areas with planter boxes and seating, fixing gardens, realigning car park spaces, cleaning, new signage, and the opening of the Sanctuary Point Pocket Park.
Basin Walk Upgrade - Boardwalk & Gravel Footpath
Upgrade of damaged sections of boardwalk and gravel footpath along the 5km Basin Walk at Sanctuary Point, following 2022 storm events. The project included repairs, replacements, and the replacement of existing gravel sections with new boardwalk below Greville Ave. Works were funded by NSW grants, including the NSW Infrastructure Betterment Program, and were completed in 2024.
Paradise Beach Road and Kingsford Smith Crescent Roundabout
Installation of a single lane mountable roundabout to improve road safety and traffic flow.
Boardwalk Construction - Ray Brooks Reserve, Sanctuary Point
The project involved the demolition of the existing boardwalk and the construction of a new accessible boardwalk, including associated concrete works, at Ray Brooks Reserve to enhance recreational facilities and accessibility in the area.
Bay and Basin NSW Ambulance Station
The upgrade and reconfiguration of the Bay and Basin NSW Ambulance Station was delivered as part of Stage 1 of the NSW Government's Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) Program. This initiative enhanced emergency services across regional NSW by providing modern, purpose-built facilities for paramedics. The program focus included internal parking for emergency vehicles, administration areas, and improved staff amenities to meet growing local health needs.
2,781 residents of Sanctuary Point are employed, from a labour force of 2,952. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 45.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,331, 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 data aggregated by AreaSearch reveals a diverse employment base across blue and white collar positions, supported by substantial representation in essential services and an overall unemployment rate of 5.8%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,781, with unemployment tracking 1.7% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Labour force participation stands at 45.0%, trailing the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census figures also show that a modest 9.0% of local workers operated from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions should be noted. Health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade constitute the primary employment sectors for local residents.
Construction activity demonstrates notable concentration, employing workers at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of the workforce locally against 5.3% in Regional NSW. Evaluating Census resident counts against local working numbers highlights that this primarily residential locality provides constrained on-site employment opportunities. According to ABS and SALM figures compiled by AreaSearch for the twelve months to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 0.2% and total employment fell by 3.3%, elevating the unemployment rate by 3.0 percentage points. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.4% reduction in its labour force, a 0.9% drop in employment, and an unemployment increase of 0.5 percentage points. Future industry labour requirements can be evaluated using national employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral trajectories vary. Applying these broader industry trends to the resident employment profile yields projected local job gains of 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, serving as an illustrative structural weighting rather than a local demographic forecast.

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 — 29 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,874 at the 2021 Census → 7,749 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.
