Sales Detail
Vincentia has an estimated 3,629 residents, down from 3,870 at the 2021 Census — a change of 241 people, or 6.2%. The population has thinned by an average 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 273 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Vincentia has an estimated count of around 3,629 residents, determined through AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS population releases alongside newly validated post-Census addresses. Compared to the 3,870 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a reduction of 241 people (6.2%). The updated figure draws upon an estimated resident population of 3,620 established by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 29 validated new addresses added post-Census. At this population scale, the density stands at 273 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial space per resident and capacity for prospective development.
While natural growth, interstate arrivals, and all other components remained positive, demographic expansion across the locality was predominantly underpinned by overseas migration, accounting for approximately 53.0% of recent population additions. Projections compiled by Geoscience Australia and the ABS, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries, supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 projections from 2022 (using 2021 as the base) for any locations omitted. Age-group growth rates from these combined series are likewise incorporated across all geographies for 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Vincentia is projected to experience substantial expansion placed within the top quartile among regional areas across the nation, adding 872 persons by 2041 according to aggregated SA2 modelling, which represents a cumulative increase of 23.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
134 new dwellings have been approved in Vincentia over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 6.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 52% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch, distributed from statistical divisions, indicates that Vincentia has recorded an average of roughly 26 newly approved dwellings per year, culminating in approximately 134 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 3 approvals have been logged. In the context of local population contraction, incoming residential stock appears to have matched buyer demand well, providing purchasers with ample options. Developers have directed their focus toward upmarket offerings, with residential builds yielding an average expected construction cost of $787,000. Additionally, non-residential activity has seen $2.5 million in commercial approvals during this financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential character.
Per capita building activity in Vincentia tracks at levels similar to Rest of NSW, reinforcing market equilibrium consistent with regional trends. Of the newly approved pipeline, 52.0% are detached dwellings while 48.0% comprise apartments or townhouses, delivering residential diversity spanning entry-level compact options to family homes across varied price brackets. This marks a clear pivot away from the established dwelling profile, where 92.0% are currently houses, indicating constrained greenfield land supply alongside evolving lifestyle preferences that call for versatile and accessible housing. The ratio of 1216 people per dwelling approval further highlights the area's subdued, low-volume development setting. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection, Vincentia is anticipated to welcome an additional 863 residents by 2041. While ongoing residential development continues at a reasonable pace relative to future population influx, prospective purchasers may encounter greater market competition as local numbers grow.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Vincentia Coastal Village - Project Modification 9 and Concept Plan Mod 17
Modification application for the Vincentia Coastal Village Concept Plan (MP06_0060-Mod-17) and the Vincentia District Town Centre Stage 1 project approval (MP06_0025-Mod-9). The modification seeks amendments to staging, land uses, car parking, and a reduction in gross floor area, incorporating specialty retail, bulky goods, a pet store, a vet, a medical centre, a gym, and a 120-place child care centre. Approved by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment in February 2026.
Revitalisation of Vincentia Village Shopping Mall Precinct
Council has revitalised the Burton Street Mall at Vincentia Village shopping centre to create a vibrant community hub and attract tourists. The $4.3 million upgrade, partially funded by the Australian Government's Building Better Regions Fund, includes a raised outdoor dining area, shade structures, an improved car park, amenity upgrades, landscaping, street furniture, and a new playground/water play area. The project aims to stimulate the local economy and was officially completed in May 2024.
Bayswood Development
Master planned residential community integrated with natural bushland near Jervis Bay National Park, focused on sustainability. The design includes water sensitive urban design (WSUD) within parklands, an extensive urban drainage network, and sewer and water reticulation. An old document suggested a total yield of 607 residential lots.
HomeCo Vincentia
Retail centre serving the local community, formerly known as Vincentia Marketplace, now owned and operated by HomeCo. Major tenants include Woolworths and ALDI, along with 31 specialty stores. It features free parking and is a key convenient shopping destination in the Shoalhaven region. The centre's developer was Fabcot.
Paradise Beach Road Multi Dwelling Housing
Rezoning to R2 Low Density Residential and amendment to maximum building height to 11m to facilitate multi-dwelling housing on the former Anglican Church site, approximately 14 townhouses.
New Sanctuary Point Library
Shoalhaven City Council is delivering a new district library at the corner of Paradise Beach Road and Kerry Street in Sanctuary Point, replacing the undersized existing branch that marked its 30-year anniversary in May 2025 and serving more than 30,000 residents across the Bay and Basin communities. After the April 2025 decision to abandon the Kerry Street corner over parking concerns, Council reinstated the site at its 28 October 2025 meeting and in November 2025 endorsed a single-storey building of approximately 1,000 sqm gross floor area, inspired by Warilla Library, in place of the earlier two-storey scheme.In April 2026 the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure confirmed the $7.5 million federal Priority Community Infrastructure Program grant was tied to the original $30 million two-storey design and could not be varied to the cheaper single-storey option. At its Ordinary Meeting on 29 June 2026 Council resolved (7-6) to borrow up to $14.4 million phased over four years to fund delivery, against a feasibility cost estimate of about $14.9 million, and to keep pursuing state and federal contributions. A rescission motion at an extraordinary meeting the following night was defeated 6-7, leaving in place an added direction for staff to investigate building on two rather than four of the council-owned Kerry Street lots, which triggers a further feasibility study due by 30 June 2027. Remaining phases are detailed design and technical investigations, development application and consent, business case review, construction documentation, tender and construction certificate, after which the project is considered shovel-ready. Council lists an estimated completion date of 31 December 2030, with an end-2029 opening possible if the loan drawdown schedule holds.
Basin Walk Upgrade - Boardwalk & Gravel Footpath
Upgrade of damaged sections of boardwalk and gravel footpath along the 5km Basin Walk at Sanctuary Point, following 2022 storm events. The project included repairs, replacements, and the replacement of existing gravel sections with new boardwalk below Greville Ave. Works were funded by NSW grants, including the NSW Infrastructure Betterment Program, and were completed in 2024.
Tahnee Street Residential Development
Approved development site for a 90-place childcare centre and 12 townhouses in Sanctuary Point, offering a blend of community amenity and housing in a rapidly growing area.
1,531 residents of Vincentia are employed, from a labour force of 1,566. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 50.8%. 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 3,252, about 90% 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 aggregated by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries reveals that Vincentia possesses a qualified labor pool with strong representation in key public sectors and a low unemployment rate of 2.2%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,531, while joblessness sat 1.9% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW. Workforce participation registered at 50.8%, falling noticeably behind the 60.6% seen in Regional NSW. Census returns also indicated that 18.5% of working residents operated from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Residents are mostly employed across public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The local labor market displays an exceptional concentration in public administration & safety, where the concentration of workers is 2.5 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of local employment, compared to 5.3% regionally. Comparing Census resident workers against the local daytime workforce points to a constrained supply of jobs within the immediate area. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures over the twelve months to March 2026 indicates that Vincentia saw its labor force contract by 1.8% alongside a 3.0% drop in total employment, pushing the unemployment rate up by 1.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW recorded an employment decline of 0.9%, a 0.4% labor pool contraction, and an increase of 0.5 percentage points in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context for future labor needs in Vincentia when modeled against the local industrial base. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Weighting these projections to the local employment distribution suggests job growth in Vincentia of 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a baseline illustrative extrapolation that excludes localized demographic modeling.

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 — 29 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,870 at the 2021 Census → 3,629 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.
