Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Success

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

372 new dwellings have been approved in Success over the past five years, an average of 74 a year. That places the area in the 89th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 62 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 86, 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

ABS residential building approval records compiled by AreaSearch show that Success has averaged approximately 74 dwelling approvals annually, accumulating an estimated 372 residential units over the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 86 approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area recorded an average influx of 6.9 new residents each year per constructed residence, reflecting demand that substantially outstrips new residential delivery and typically fosters competitive purchasing conditions alongside asset appreciation. New residential projects indicate an average construction value of $428,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $3.3 million during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the market.

On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Success run at roughly two-thirds the broader Greater Perth rate, positioning the locality in the 66th percentile nationwide. Residential planning approvals consist of 97.0% detached dwellings and 3.0% townhouses or apartments, reinforcing a family-oriented suburban fabric favored by buyers seeking larger living formats. This 97.0% detached building share exceeds the 80.0% detached proportion recorded at Census, highlighting persistent demand for standalone residences amid broader densification trends. The balance of roughly 193 people per dwelling approval reflects ongoing development capacity. Projections based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch indicate Success will add 3,134 residents through to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing supply could fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward price momentum.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Success

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

8,254 residents of Success are employed, from a labour force of 8,490. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 77.2%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 11,537, 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 synthesized by AreaSearch highlights an educated local talent base in Success, an established industrial and manufacturing footprint, and an unemployment rate of merely 2.8%. By March 2026, employed residents totaled 8,254, while joblessness sat 1.4% under the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Labour force participation reached a high 77.2%, notably exceeding the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. Census findings indicated that 6.7% of local workers operated from home, though this metric was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged across construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.

Manufacturing displays substantial local strength, with employment representation reaching 1.2 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, education & training accounts for 8.1% of the workforce compared to 9.2% regionally. Discrepancies between Census daytime worker totals and the local resident workforce underscore a reliance on employment hubs outside this largely residential suburb. Analysis from AreaSearch, which combines SALM and ABS data from wider statistical regions, indicates that over a twelve-month span the labour force shrank by 1.5% while employment fell by 1.9%, leading to an unemployment rate increase of 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, the Greater Perth area experienced employment growth of 2.0% and labour force growth of 2.5%, with unemployment rising by 0.4 percentage points. Insights into potential future demand within Success can be obtained through Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts dated Mar-26. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trends. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Success's employment composition, local employment is estimated to rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, though this figure represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustration only and does not incorporate local 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 — 142 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,340 at the 2021 Census → 13,992 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL51417). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Success suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Success page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Success data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
