This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Toormina has an estimated 6,220 residents, up from 6,171 at the 2021 Census. That puts 1,152 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside address files validated by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of Toormina stands at approximately 6,220 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 49 people (0.8%) from the 2021 Census, when 6,171 individuals were recorded. The estimate is derived from a resident population of 6,213, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release and 14 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 1,151 persons per square kilometer, matching typical benchmarks seen in AreaSearch evaluations.
The post-census expansion rate of 0.8% in the suburb of Toormina is within 2.9 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (3.7%), showing competitive underlying growth. Overseas migration was the primary contributor to demographic growth, accounting for roughly 71.0% of the recent population increase. Projections for each SA2 district published in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point are sourced from ABS and Geoscience Australia. In cases where districts lack this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Age cohort growth rates from these combined sources are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, forecasts point to a contraction in overall numbers, with the population of the suburb of Toormina projected to drop by 193 residents by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, growth is expected within certain age brackets, particularly the group aged 85 and over, which is forecast to increase by 220 individuals. Refer to the age section for further information.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
24 new dwellings have been approved in Toormina over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area records, the suburb of Toormina has averaged approximately 4 new dwelling approvals per year, summing to an estimated 24 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. During FY-26 to date, 2 approvals have been documented. Since the population has shrunk over the preceding interval, building activity has been relatively sufficient, which benefits purchasers, and new residences carry a mean construction value of $505,000, showing that builders are focusing on the higher-end market with premium housing. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $1.6 million this financial year, pointing to low commercial development activity.
Compared against the Rest of NSW benchmark, the suburb of Toormina registers significantly lower construction volumes, sitting 81.0% below the regional per capita median. This constrained addition of new dwellings generally acts to support demand and pricing for pre-existing houses. The rate of building also falls below the national standard, pointing to the mature nature of the local area and possible regulatory limits on planning. Additionally, all new residential approvals have consisted entirely of standalone houses, preserving the classical low-density residential profile of the area and its focus on spacious properties for families. Interestingly, developers are focusing on single-family houses more than the existing housing stock profile shows (65.0% at the Census), reflecting a sustained preference for houses despite density challenges. Reflecting about 1550 individuals for every new home approval, the suburb of Toormina shows a highly developed property market. Given the outlook for flat or shrinking numbers, the suburb of Toormina may experience reduced housing demand, leading to advantageous purchasing conditions.

Boambee East Residential Subdivision
A proposed two-stage residential subdivision creating 70 residential lots comprising 63 Torrens Title lots and 7 Community Title housing lots, with concept approval for 70 dwellings. Stage 1 includes construction of an access road via Bruce King Drive, demolition of two existing dwellings, a fire trail lot, and a residue lot to be dedicated to Council. The development has faced significant community opposition due to concerns about clearing approximately 4,600 square meters of native vegetation including 3,000 square meters of Prime Koala Habitat, threatened ecological communities, and impacts on community land surrounding the Boambee East Community Centre.
95 on First Townhouses (Sea Esta)
'95 on First' will comprise of six modern 3-bedroom townhouses, offering low-maintenance, beachside living. The complex is positioned approximately 150 metres from Sawtell Beach and 250 metres from the village centre, with driveway entry via Kidd Lane. Construction is estimated to commence towards the end of 2025.
Sawtell Pool Upgrade Project
City of Coffs Harbour continues to retain the Sawtell Pool Upgrade as a planned future project. The concept design includes a new eight-lane 25 metre pool with an accessible lane, a heated learn-to-swim pool, splash pad, new amenities building, cafe, improved accessibility and sustainable building features. Following the earlier funding setback, the project remains at concept design stage and is listed by Council as an unfunded future capital project pending external funding.
Elements at Coffs
Elements at Coffs is a quality residential land release estate located just off Stadium Drive on the eastern side of the Pacific Highway in Coffs Harbour. Positioned halfway between Coffs Harbour and Sawtell, it offers generous reserves and open spaces. The development is actively selling Stage 4 and provides convenient access to the airport, health campus, education facilities, and shopping centres.
Wonga Park Sawtell Playground Renewal
Renewal of the existing Wonga Playground at the corner of First and Third Avenue in Sawtell, replacing ageing equipment with a new climbing structure, slide, swings and bouncers, a shelter, picnic tables, and stone block retaining walls and seating. The new playground was relocated slightly east of the existing BBQ shelter, away from the tree canopy, to protect the surrounding littoral rainforest ecosystem. The existing playground and amenities block remained open throughout construction. Funded by the City of Coffs Harbour at a cost of $200,000, the project was completed on 15 September 2025.
North Boambee Valley (East) Release Area
A long-term residential release area featuring The Lakes Estate and surrounding developments, with infrastructure supporting up to 361 dwellings. The development includes neighbourhood parks, walking trails, stormwater detention systems, collector roads with cycleways, koala habitat management zones, and community facilities. Developer contributions fund essential infrastructure including roads, parks, environmental protection measures, and flood mitigation systems. The completed Lakes Estate offers established residential lots with lake frontages and district views.
Sawtell Lifeguard Tower Construction
Construction of a new, prefabricated, non-permanent lifeguard tower at Sawtell Beach to provide an all-weather observation point for beach safety operations. The aluminium tower replaced the old structure damaged by coastal erosion and has a minimum expiry life of 15 years. It was expected to be open by the end of September 2025.
2,458 residents of Toormina are employed, from a labour force of 2,581. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 49.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,111, 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
AreaSearch statistical area data indicates that Toormina maintains a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and relative employment stability over the past year. As of March 2026, 2,458 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.7% above Regional NSW's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation lags significantly (49.8% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Based on Census responses, a low 7.8% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The principal sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food. There is a particularly high concentration of workers in retail trade, running at 1.5 times the regional average rate. By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents a small share of employment at 2.3%, compared to 5.3% across the wider region. The highly residential character of the area seems to limit local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. AreaSearch evaluated SALM and ABS data drawn from larger statistical regions for the period ending March 2026, finding that employment grew by 0.2% while the labour force shrank by 0.4%, which led to a 0.6 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This trend differs from the experience in Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, the labour force declined by 0.4%, and unemployment climbed by 0.5 percentage points. For further context on future demand in Toormina, Jobs and Skills Australia published national employment forecasts in May-25. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with Toormina's current employment structure to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different industries. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Toormina's existing job composition, the resulting estimate indicates that local employment should grow by 6.7% over five years and by 13.9% over ten years. It is important to note that this calculation uses a basic weighting method for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population forecasts.

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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,171 at the 2021 Census → 6,220 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.
