Sales Detail
Sunshine Bay has an estimated 1,504 residents, up from 1,439 at the 2021 Census — a change of 65 people, or 4.5%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. That puts 1,131 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS updates and address validations post-Census, the suburb of Sunshine Bay has an estimated population of 1,504 as of Aug 2026. Comparing this to the 1,439 people counted in the 2021 Census reveals a gain of 65 people (4.5%). AreaSearch calculated this trajectory from a baseline of 1,496 residents identified in the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 75 validated new addresses logged after the Census. This population scale yields a density of 1,130 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch study locations.
Outpacing the broader SA3 area (2.8%), the 4.5% expansion recorded since the 2021 census positions the suburb of Sunshine Bay at the forefront of local regional growth, propelled chiefly by interstate migration which accounted for roughly 68.0% of recent population additions. Demographic projections deployed by AreaSearch incorporate SA2 modelling published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as its baseline, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 with a 2021 base year. These age-cohort projections are applied to forecast trends between 2032 and 2041. Future demographic trajectory points to a growth pace tracking marginally under the regional Australian median, with SA2 projections indicating the suburb of Sunshine Bay will add 141 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 8.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
147 new dwellings have been approved in Sunshine Bay over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 13.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Examining ABS residential approval statistics aggregated by statistical area, AreaSearch finds that Sunshine Bay generates roughly 29 building approvals annually, totalling 147 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 9 approved during FY-25 to date. Because construction over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) has seen a ratio of merely 0.8 new residents per year per dwelling, building output is running ahead of demand, creating a buyer-friendly market and headroom for population increases above baseline expectations. Furthermore, an average construction cost of $607,000 per dwelling points to development activity geared toward upmarket residences, while non-residential building approvals reached $338,000 this financial year, underscoring the locality's overwhelmingly residential focus.
Per capita building activity in Sunshine Bay stands 164.0% above the Rest of NSW benchmark, providing diverse property alternatives despite a recent easing in development momentum. Outstripping nationwide building intensity, these figures highlight elevated builder enthusiasm. Detached houses account for 85.0% of recent building activity compared to 15.0% for attached dwellings, preserving the traditional low-density, family-oriented neighborhood fabric tailored for occupants seeking generous living areas, underpinned by an average of around 133 people per dwelling approval. Demographic modelling suggests Sunshine Bay will expand by 133 residents through to 2041 from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. With current building throughput, residential construction appears positioned to comfortably absorb incoming demand, ensuring favorable conditions for purchasers and enabling population growth to outpace established projections.

562 residents of Sunshine Bay are employed, from a labour force of 585. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 45.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,229, 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
Sunshine Bay maintains a workforce distributed across administrative and trade occupations, supported by a healthy presence in vital public services and a jobless rate standing at only 3.9%, according to statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch. In March 2026562 residents were counted as employed, with local unemployment sitting 0.2% below the Regional NSW level of 4.1%, even as local labor participation of 45.4% trails the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census records indicate that 9.2% of workers worked from home, a metric that may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. Local workforce participation is heavily clustered in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The community demonstrates marked specialization in health care & social assistance, where resident employment concentrations reach 1.2 times regional figures. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents only 0.6% of local jobs compared against the 5.3% regional benchmark. Given the ratio of Census working population to local residents, this largely residential district provides limited internal employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS figures compiled from larger statistical regions, the twelve month period leading to March 2026 witnessed a 1.7% drop in labour force participation alongside a 1.1% contraction in employment, which collectively led to a 0.6 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. By comparison, employment in Regional NSW fell by 0.9% and the labour force shrank by 0.4%, producing a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment outlooks originating from Mar-26 may provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand inside Sunshine Bay. These forecasts, spanning both five and ten year horizons, have been overlaid onto the local employment composition to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry segments. Translating these sectoral forecasts to Sunshine Bay's job structure indicates that local employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (this reflects a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative reasons and does not incorporate localized population estimates).

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 — 75 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,439 at the 2021 Census → 1,504 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.
