Sales Detail
Turrella has an estimated 2,856 residents, up from 2,673 at the 2021 Census — a change of 183 people, or 6.8%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 78.0% of that increase. That puts 4,463 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
Analyzing updates from the ABS alongside address records confirmed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Turrella has a population of approximately 2,856 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 183 people (6.8%) compared to the 2,673 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 2,854 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS release, combined with 3 new validated locations added after the Census. Consequently, the local density stands at 4,462 persons per square kilometer, placing it within the highest 10% of areas evaluated by AreaSearch and highlighting high demand for local property.
This 6.8% expansion rate outpaced the broader SA4 region (6.5%), positioning the suburb of Turrella as a regional leader in expansion. The upward trend was largely supported by arrivals from abroad, who accounted for approximately 78.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for SA2 boundaries. For locations where this data is unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Age-specific growth trajectories from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic estimates point to above-median growth for the analyzed locations, with the suburb of Turrella expected to grow by 503 residents by 2041 under these combined SA2 figures, showing a total increase of 17.5% over the 16 years.

Detail
Based on housing approval data from the ABS allocated to local boundaries, the suburb of Turrella averages approximately 1 residential approval per year, with 9 homes authorized over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 12 registered during FY-26. Since an average of 16 new residents have arrived for every home built over those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand remains far ahead of supply, creating upward pressure on costs and heightening buyer competition. Furthermore, new properties carry a mean value of $501,000, showing that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium market segment.
Compared against the wider Greater Sydney region, the suburb of Turrella shows significantly reduced construction levels, running 88.0% below the metropolitan average on a per capita basis. While this constrained supply generally reinforces values and demand for existing houses, building activity has shown recent acceleration. This rate is also below the national average, indicating a mature market and potential development limits. The composition of recent projects is split between 50.0% standalone houses and 50.0% semi-detached properties or units. Such a mix delivers more accessible price points that cater to first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. Averaging 945 residents for each building approval, the suburb of Turrella exhibits the traits of an established community. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Turrella will add 501 people by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, the supply of homes may fall short of population gains, which could intensify buyer rivalry and support elevated price appreciation.

10-storey residential flat building of 58 apartments proposed by West Botany Projects Pty Ltd (Buildview Corp) incorporating a restored Victorian-era heritage cottage at No. 73 West Botany Street. Designed by Marchese Partners, the $20 million scheme sought to consolidate four lots into a 2,208 sqm site within the Arncliffe Banksia Priority Precinct (R4 High Density). Bayside Council refused the DA in late 2023 on the grounds it failed to satisfy relevant planning controls and objectives.No appeal or redesign has been publicly registered since the refusal.
Bayside West Precincts 2036 Plan
The Bayside West Precincts 2036 Plan is a NSW Government strategic framework guiding 20 years of urban renewal across Arncliffe, Banksia and Cooks Cove, around 10 to 12 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD. The plan supports approximately 5,100 new homes (around 4,100 in Arncliffe and 1,000 in Banksia) and roughly 4,000 new jobs through revitalisation of the Princes Highway corridor, expanded town centres around Arncliffe and Banksia stations, and a new 7,000 square metre park in Arncliffe.A Bayside West Special Infrastructure Contribution provides up to $88.3 million for open space, walking and cycling links and road upgrades, while a $10 million Precinct Support Scheme funds upgrades to Arncliffe Park ($4.5m), Gardiner Park ($2.5m) and the Arncliffe town centre ($3m). Rockdale Local Environmental Plan 2011 was amended to enact the Arncliffe and Banksia rezonings. A separate Cooks Cove planning proposal was approved on 7 May 2025, rezoning the former Kogarah Golf Club site for a mixed-use employment precinct of multi-level logistics, commercial offices, hotel, retail and a new riverside park rather than residential apartments.

1,691 residents of Turrella are employed, from a labour force of 1,753. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 72.2%. 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 2,323, about 81% 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 workforce in the suburb of Turrella is characterised by high levels of education, with strong representation in the technology field. The local unemployment rate stands at just 3.5%, and employment grew by an estimated 2.5% over the prior year according to aggregated regional statistics. In March 2026, there were 1,691 employed inhabitants, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.6% lower than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney. Workforce participation is typical, sitting at 72.2% compared to 69.1% for Greater Sydney. Census responses also indicated that a substantial 39.5% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 restrictions.
Local employment is mostly concentrated in professional & technical fields, construction, and transport, postal & warehousing. The transport, postal & warehousing sector is particularly prominent, employing residents at 1.9 times the metropolitan average rate. Conversely, the health care & social assistance sector accounts for only 9.1% of the workforce, which is lower than the Greater Sydney average of 14.1%. Comparing the Census count of locally employed workers against the resident labor force suggests this residential enclave offers relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. According to SALM and ABS statistics aggregated across regional boundaries, the past 12 months saw local employment rise by 2.5% while the total labor force grew by 2.8%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a minor decrease in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been combined with the local industry profile to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry distribution suggests employment related to the suburb of Turrella would rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local 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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,673 at the 2021 Census → 2,856 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 (SAL14000). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
