Detail
Drawing from ABS population statistics for the surrounding region and address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Tura Beach is calculated to have approximately 3,456 residents in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 51 individuals (1.5%) from the 2021 Census, which registered 3,405 citizens. The calculation is based on a resident headcount of 3,451, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with 18 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population size corresponds to a density of 493 persons per square kilometer, offering generous personal space and potential capacity for additional housing.
The 1.5% post-census growth rate for the suburb of Tura Beach is within 1.1 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (2.6%), showing competitive growth indicators. Population expansion in the locality was chiefly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 63.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are utilized. Age group growth trajectories from these sources are likewise applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. In terms of future demographics, projections indicate population growth exceeding the national non-metropolitan median, with the suburb of Tura Beach expected to add 466 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing a 13.3% overall increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
80 new dwellings have been approved in Tura Beach over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 4.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
According to building approval figures from the ABS compiled by AreaSearch from statistical datasets, the suburb of Tura Beach averages roughly 16 residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 80 home approvals over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 5 during the current FY-26. With an average of only 0.9 new residents per year per finished dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the incoming housing volume is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, providing buyers with many options and creating capacity for population growth above current projections, while newly approved dwellings average $526,000 in value, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end premium market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $4.5 million this financial year, highlighting that the locality remains predominantly residential. Relative to the Rest of NSW, building activity per capita in the suburb of Tura Beach is 18.0% lower, though it stands in the 67th percentile of all areas evaluated across the nation. Incoming housing consists of 53.0% single standalone homes and 47.0% medium and high-density options, demonstrating a rising proportion of medium-density choices that provide a variety of options across price brackets, ranging from classic family residences to more economical compact spaces. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock (which is 79.0% houses), indicating a decline in buildable land availability and adjusting to modern lifestyle choices and housing cost pressures. Reflecting a density that is low, the area records around 209 people per building approval. Projecting forward, the suburb of Tura Beach is anticipated to add 461 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current construction levels appear well-matched with future needs, supporting balanced market conditions without significant price escalation.

1,354 residents of Tura Beach are employed, from a labour force of 1,387. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 45.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,893, about 84% 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
The suburb of Tura Beach has a qualified workforce with strong representation in critical service sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of regional statistical data. In March 2026, 1,354 locals are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.7% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably lower (45.1% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). Census records indicate a moderate 14.5% of workers perform their duties from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind. Primary employment sectors for residents include healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food services.
The locality displays a strong concentration in retail trade, where the share of employment is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is less represented at 2.6% compared to the regional benchmark of 5.3%. Given the difference between the Census working population and resident population, this primarily residential district seems to provide a limited number of local jobs. Based on AreaSearch reviews of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional boundaries, the labor force shrank by 2.6% and total employment fell by 2.2% over the 12 months ending March 2026, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. This differs from Regional NSW, which saw employment shrink by 0.9%, the labor force drop by 0.4%, and unemployment increase by 0.5 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective workforce trends in the suburb of Tura Beach. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests employment for the suburb of Tura Beach should rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighting extrapolation for demonstration and does not incorporate localized population adjustments).

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 — 18 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,405 at the 2021 Census → 3,456 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.
