Secret Harbour has an estimated 13,770 residents, up from 12,474 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,296 people, or 10.4%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. That puts 2,106 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 suburb of Secret Harbour has an estimated population of around 13,770, established through AreaSearch assessment of wider ABS demographic releases alongside 46 validated new addresses identified since the Census. This count indicates a rise of 1,296 people (10.4%) from the 12,474 people documented in the 2021 Census, building on an estimated resident population (ERP) of 13,693 recorded by AreaSearch following the June 2025 ABS release. With a population density of 2,105 persons per square kilometer, the suburb tracks higher than the national average across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 10.4% expansion recorded since the 2021 census positioned the suburb of Secret Harbour ahead of the national benchmark of 9.5%, establishing it as a regional growth leader. The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 37.0% of total recent gains, complemented by positive contributions from natural growth and overseas migration. Population modeling across statistical areas relies on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections pegged to a 2022 base year, while unlisted SA2 districts and growth horizons beyond post-2032 apply cohort-specific rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (utilising 2022 data). Forward-looking demographic projections indicate that the suburb of Secret Harbour will experience an expansion trajectory tracking above the national median for statistical areas. By 2041, aggregated SA2-level modeling projects the suburb of Secret Harbour will expand by 2,662 persons, representing a cumulative demographic increase of 18.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
58 new dwellings have been approved in Secret Harbour over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 65, running ahead of 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 residential development in Secret Harbour has progressed at roughly 11 dwellings approved annually, generating an estimated total of 58 homes across the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 65 approvals have been documented. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the market added an average of 7.2 new residents per year for each newly constructed residence, creating a dynamic where housing demand substantially outpaces building activity, typically driving buyer competition and upward pricing pressure, while recent construction shows an average building value of $407,000.
Per-capita construction volumes in Secret Harbour sit 81.0% below the regional average across Greater Perth, as well as under national benchmarks, highlighting the established urban fabric and possible planning constraints. While this constrained pipeline generally reinforces valuation stability and demand for existing housing stock, building activity has shown recent acceleration. The modern pipeline remains heavily weighted toward low-density living, with detached houses making up 96.0% of recent builds and townhouses or apartments comprising 4.0%, reinforcing the locality's focus on spacious suburban family housing amidst an evolving residential market averaging around 221 people per approval. Longer-term demographic forecasts indicate Secret Harbour is set to add 2,585 residents through to 2041 according to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. Should the existing pace of residential building persist, future dwelling supply could lag behind demographic expansion, potentially intensifying market competition for housing and reinforcing property price appreciation.

7,890 residents of Secret Harbour are employed, from a labour force of 8,164. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 75.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,659, about 77% 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
Statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch shows Secret Harbour maintains an active and capable labor market, characterized by strong representation in essential industries and an unemployment rate of 3.4%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,890, while the local unemployment rate tracked 0.8% lower than the 4.2% figure observed across Greater Perth. Workforce engagement is notably robust, with a participation rate of 75.8% compared to 69.9% regionally, while Census figures recorded 6.9% of workers operating from home, subject to the broader context of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment pillars for local residents are mining, construction, and health care & social assistance.
Mining represents a distinct industry specialization, capturing a local workforce share 1.4 times that of the regional benchmark. In contrast, professional & technical occupations represent 4.4% of resident workers, trailing the 8.2% regional proportion. Comparison between resident counts and Census workplace locations suggests that local employment capacity remains comparatively restricted within this primarily residential community. Over the 12 months to March 2026, ABS and SALM figures reviewed by AreaSearch reveal a 2.8% contraction in the local workforce and a 3.1% reduction in total employment, resulting in a 0.3 percentage points rise in unemployment. Across Greater Perth during the same period, employment expanded by 2.0% and the labor force grew 2.5%, alongside a 0.4 percentage points increase in unemployment. Looking forward, Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26 suggest nationwide employment will expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. When mapped to the local industry distribution (as an illustrative weighting model without local demographic factors), employment demand for Secret Harbour is estimated to increase by 5.8% over five years and 12.6% over ten years.

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 — 46 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,474 at the 2021 Census → 13,770 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.
