South Bathurst has an estimated 1,511 residents, down from 1,583 at the 2021 Census — a change of 72 people, or 4.5%. The population has thinned by an average 1.2% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 325 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
According to municipal population updates analyzed by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of South Bathurst has an estimated population of 1,511 as of May 2026. This indicates a contraction of 72 people (4.5%) from the 2021 Census, when the headcount was 1,583 people. This estimate of 1,511 residents was derived by AreaSearch from the June 2025 ABS ERP data release, plus an additional 1 validated new address registered since the Census. With this population level, the local density stands at 324 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment with capacity for future growth.
The main driver of population growth during recent intervals was overseas migration, which served as almost the exclusive source of population gains. Projections for each SA2 region are drawn from ABS and Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 using a 2022 baseline, with NSW State Government SA2 projections from 2022 (using a 2021 baseline) filling any data gaps. Projected cohort growth rates from these combined sources are applied to local areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projections, the local area is expected to outpace the median population expansion of regional Australia, adding 252 residents by 2041, which represents a total increase of 16.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property construction is very quiet in the suburb of South Bathurst, which sees an average of only 3 approvals annually, totaling 17 dwellings over the five-year period. This minimal rate of construction is typical for rural localities where housing requirements remain modest and development is naturally constrained by local market demand and available utility infrastructure. Because these approval counts are so small, year-on-year variations and relative percentages can fluctuate substantially due to single projects. The volume of new construction in the suburb of South Bathurst is significantly below the average for the Rest of NSW and runs well behind national trends.
Approved building designs are split evenly, with 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% medium and high-density housing. This movement toward denser options provides more accessible price points that suit downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. It represents a clear change from the existing housing stock, of which 89.0% houses currently make up the total, showing that buildable land is becoming scarcer while reflecting shifting lifestyles and demand for more diverse, cost-effective options. The ratio of 3035 people in the area for every single dwelling approval underscores the quiet and low-key building environment. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of South Bathurst will add 252 residents up to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should construction rates remain at current levels, the supply of new dwellings might fall short of population growth, which could increase buyer competition and support stronger price growth.

Charles Sturt University Bathurst Campus Master Plan
The Bathurst Campus Master Plan is Charles Sturt University's long-term framework for redeveloping its approximately 90 hectare Panorama Avenue campus over the next 15 to 20 years. Delivered as Phase 3 of the university's campus master planning program (following a University Portfolio Plan and the Wagga Wagga Campus Master Plan), the plan was prepared with Hassell and Alluvium and shaped by a 35-member working group, eight site visits and more than 100 consultation sessions with staff, students and the Bathurst community.Its central move is to consolidate the campus's currently dispersed buildings into a compact, vibrant academic core, releasing surplus land for partnership, residential and commercial opportunities while reducing operating costs. The plan covers campus visioning and strategy, spatial planning, and asset strategy and feasibility, and is structured around four pillars: a Place of Country, a Place for Education, a Place for Research and a Place for Community. It also proposes reinstating ecological corridors along Hawthornden Creek and surrounding wetlands, and aligns with Bathurst Regional Council's Vision Bathurst 2040 Local Strategic Planning Statement. The final plan document is published on the university website. Implementation will be phased and paced according to the university's financial capacity, with individual projects prioritised against the plan's strategic directions and supported where possible by industry and commercial partnerships. No individual works packages have been funded, approved or committed to date. The campus currently serves about 2,500 students across disciplines including communication, nursing, exercise science, dentistry and engineering.

773 residents of South Bathurst are employed, from a labour force of 796. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 64.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,702, about 113% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The workforce in the suburb of South Bathurst is highly skilled, with a strong representation of workers in essential service industries, and exhibits an unemployment rate of only 2.9% according to data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 773 residents in active employment, meaning the local jobless rate sat 1.2% below the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation stood at a relatively typical 64.7% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records indicate that a minor 9.7% of employed locals worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
Local jobs are concentrated heavily in health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The region exhibits a strong specialty in education & training, which accounts for an employment share 1.3 times higher than the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, employing just 2.0% of the local workforce compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. A ratio of 0.8 workers for every resident at the Census indicates a higher-than-average volume of local employment opportunities. According to SALM and ABS figures aggregated by AreaSearch, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw the local labor force shrink by 1.7% and total employment decline by 2.2%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.4 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% contraction in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide extra context regarding future labor demand in the suburb of South Bathurst. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of growth varies widely by industry sector. Adjusting for these sector-specific forecasts, local employment is projected to expand by 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,583 at the 2021 Census → 1,511 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13593). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
