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
Sawtell has an estimated 3,828 residents, up from 3,788 at the 2021 Census — a change of 40 people, or 1.1%. That puts 1,032 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
Based on examination of ABS population updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Sawtell's population is estimated at around 3,828 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 40 people (1.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 3,788 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,822, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 18 validated new addresses since the Census date. Sawtell has a density of 1,031 persons per square kilometer, which is consistent with the averages generally observed across locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Sawtell's 1.1% growth since census positions it within 2.6 percentage points of the SA3 area (3.7%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 71.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Moving forward with demographic trends, Over this period, projections indicate a decline in overall population, with the area's population expected to decline by 205 persons by 2041 according to this methodology. However, growth across specific age cohorts is anticipated, led by the 85 and over age group, which is projected to increase by 68 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
51 new dwellings have been approved in Sawtell over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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 analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Sawtell has experienced around 10 dwellings receiving development approval annually, totalling an estimated 51 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 4 approvals have been recorded. With an average of only 0.7 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is meeting or surpassing demand, providing greater buyer choice while supporting potential for population growth above projections, while new homes are being built at an average value of $505,000, demonstrating a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
Also, $2.0 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Rest of NSW, Sawtell shows approximately 65% of the construction activity per person while it places among the 54th percentile of areas assessed nationally, though construction activity has intensified recently. This activity is likewise lower than nationally, reflecting market maturity and pointing to possible development constraints. Recent construction comprises 91.0% detached dwellings and 9.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. New construction favours detached housing more than current patterns suggest (68.0% at Census), demonstrating ongoing robust demand for family homes despite increasing density pressures.The location has approximately 293 people per dwelling approval, indicating a low density market. With population expected to remain stable or decline, Sawtell should see reduced pressure on housing, potentially creating opportunities for buyers.

'95 on First' will comprise of six modern 3-bedroom townhouses, offering low-maintenance, beachside living. The complex is positioned approximately 150 metres from Sawtell Beach and 250 metres from the village centre, with driveway entry via Kidd Lane. Construction is estimated to commence towards the end of 2025.
Sawtell Pool Upgrade Project
City of Coffs Harbour continues to retain the Sawtell Pool Upgrade as a planned future project. The concept design includes a new eight-lane 25 metre pool with an accessible lane, a heated learn-to-swim pool, splash pad, new amenities building, cafe, improved accessibility and sustainable building features. Following the earlier funding setback, the project remains at concept design stage and is listed by Council as an unfunded future capital project pending external funding.
Toormina Oval Upgrade
A $1.27 million upgrade including new grandstand, improved drainage, field lighting, and amenities. Enhances the facility for local sports clubs and community events.
Wonga Park Sawtell Playground Renewal
Renewal of the existing Wonga Playground at the corner of First and Third Avenue in Sawtell, replacing ageing equipment with a new climbing structure, slide, swings and bouncers, a shelter, picnic tables, and stone block retaining walls and seating. The new playground was relocated slightly east of the existing BBQ shelter, away from the tree canopy, to protect the surrounding littoral rainforest ecosystem. The existing playground and amenities block remained open throughout construction. Funded by the City of Coffs Harbour at a cost of $200,000, the project was completed on 15 September 2025.
Sawtell Lifeguard Tower Construction
Construction of a new, prefabricated, non-permanent lifeguard tower at Sawtell Beach to provide an all-weather observation point for beach safety operations. The aluminium tower replaced the old structure damaged by coastal erosion and has a minimum expiry life of 15 years. It was expected to be open by the end of September 2025.
Boambee East Residential Subdivision
A proposed two-stage residential subdivision creating 70 residential lots comprising 63 Torrens Title lots and 7 Community Title housing lots, with concept approval for 70 dwellings. Stage 1 includes construction of an access road via Bruce King Drive, demolition of two existing dwellings, a fire trail lot, and a residue lot to be dedicated to Council. The development has faced significant community opposition due to concerns about clearing approximately 4,600 square meters of native vegetation including 3,000 square meters of Prime Koala Habitat, threatened ecological communities, and impacts on community land surrounding the Boambee East Community Centre.
Toormina Oval Upgrade
The Toormina Oval Upgrade delivers an expanded sporting precinct featuring an additional football pitch, an upgraded carpark, a connecting footbridge, and new concrete footpaths. The project enhances community access and capacity for local football clubs and recreational users across Coffs Harbour.
Elements at Coffs
Elements at Coffs is a quality residential land release estate located just off Stadium Drive on the eastern side of the Pacific Highway in Coffs Harbour. Positioned halfway between Coffs Harbour and Sawtell, it offers generous reserves and open spaces. The development is actively selling Stage 4 and provides convenient access to the airport, health campus, education facilities, and shopping centres.
1,695 residents of Sawtell are employed, from a labour force of 1,762. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 54.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,039, about 79% 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
Sawtell has a well-educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.8%, and relative employment stability over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,695 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.3% below Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation lags significantly (54.7% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 16.7% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The dominant employment sectors among residents include health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The area demonstrates particularly notable concentration in health care & social assistance, with employment levels at 1.4 times the regional average. Meanwhile, agriculture, forestry & fishing has limited presence with 1.5% employment compared to 5.3% regionally. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment increasing by 0.4% alongside labour force decreasing by 0.2%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced employment decline of 0.9% and labour force decline of 0.4%, with a 0.5 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Sawtell. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Sawtell's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 7.2% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 18 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,788 at the 2021 Census → 3,828 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.
