Sinagra

Sinagra lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

As of Nov 2025, Sinagra's population is estimated at around 4,025, reflecting a growth of 925 people since the 2021 Census. This increase represents a 29.8% rise from the previous population count of 3,100. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of Sinagra's resident population at 3,677 following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release in June 2024 and an additional 686 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 2,248 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Sinagra's growth rate of 29.8% since the 2021 census is higher than the national average of 8.9%, positioning it as a growth leader in its SA4 region. The primary driver for population growth in Sinagra was overseas migration, contributing approximately 68.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

However, all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) to estimate growth across all areas post-2032. Considering projected demographic shifts, Sinagra is expected to experience a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch. By 2041, the suburb is projected to expand by 291 persons, reflecting an overall decrease of 8.8% in total over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential approval activity sees Sinagra among the top 30% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Sinagra had around 61 new homes approved annually on average over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 307 homes. As of FY26, 51 approvals have been recorded. On average, 0.8 new residents per year per dwelling were constructed between FY21 and FY25. This indicates that new supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, providing ample buyer choice and capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts.

The average construction value of new homes was $377,000, aligning with regional trends. In FY26, $4.0 million in commercial approvals have been registered, suggesting limited commercial development focus. Sinagra has 68.0% more building activity per person compared to Greater Perth, indicating strong developer confidence in the location. Recent construction comprises 98.0% detached dwellings and 2.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining Sinagra's traditional suburban character focused on family homes. With around 33 people per approval, Sinagra reflects a developing area with an expected stable or declining population, potentially reducing pressure on housing and creating opportunities for buyers.
