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.

Sales Detail
Vincentia has an estimated 3,620 residents, down from 3,870 at the 2021 Census — a change of 250 people, or 6.5%. 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the broader zone, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Vincentia has an estimated population of approximately 3,620 as of May 2026. This represents a reduction of 250 individuals (6.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,870 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 3,613, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ABS ERP data release (June 2025) and an extra 27 validated new addresses since the Census date.
The population level yields a density ratio of 272 persons per square kilometer, which offers substantial space per individual and capacity for subsequent expansion. Overseas migration was the primary driver of local growth, accounting for approximately 53.0% of overall population gains in recent times, though all indicators, including interstate migration and natural growth, remained positive. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline year, are utilized. Growth rates across age groups derived from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Anticipating upcoming demographic shifts, a substantial population rise in the top quartile of Australia's non-metropolitan zones is projected, with the suburb of Vincentia expected to grow by 882 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 24.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
133 new dwellings have been approved in Vincentia over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 7.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 53% 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, the suburb of Vincentia averages about 26 dwelling approvals annually, summing to an estimated 133 homes over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 3 approvals have been logged. In light of the population decline in the preceding period, building activity has been relatively sufficient, which benefits purchasers, while new dwellings carry an average value of $564,000, pointing to developer concentration on the premium sector with high-end properties. Additionally, $2.5 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, highlighting the area's predominantly residential character.
In comparison to the Rest of NSW, development levels per capita in the suburb of Vincentia are comparable, maintaining a market equilibrium in line with adjacent locations. New construction consists of 53.0% detached houses and 47.0% attached dwellings, showcasing a growing mix of attached housing options that provide choices across different price points, ranging from spacious family homes to more accessible compact properties. This is a clear departure from the existing housing stock (which stands at 92.0% houses), indicating a shrinking supply of developable land and reflecting changing lifestyles and a demand for more diverse, affordable housing. There are approximately 174 people per dwelling approval, pointing to a low density market. Demographic forecasts suggest that the suburb of Vincentia will add 875 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Building activity is keeping pace reasonably well with the projected growth, although purchasers might face rising competition as the population expands.

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.
1,534 residents of Vincentia are employed, from a labour force of 1,569. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 51.2%. 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 3,241, 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
The suburb of Vincentia has a highly educated workforce, a solid representation of essential services industries, and an unemployment rate of only 2.2%, compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 1,534 employed residents, and the unemployment rate is 1.9% lower than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably lower (51.2% versus 60.6% in Regional NSW). According to Census records, a moderate 18.5% of workers worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be taken into account. The primary employment sectors for residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The suburb of Vincentia shows an especially high concentration in public administration & safety, with employment at 2.5 times the regional norm. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of local employment, which is below the 5.3% average for Regional NSW. The local area seems to provide few job opportunities, as demonstrated by the comparison between the Census working population and resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, the labor force shrank by 1.8% and total employment fell by 3.0% over the 12 months to March 2026, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 1.2 percentage points. This compares to Regional NSW, which saw a 0.9% contraction in employment, a 0.4% decline in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide additional context on prospective future demand in the suburb of Vincentia. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of growth differ markedly by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the employment composition of the suburb of Vincentia indicates that local employment should grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration and excludes localized population projections).

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 — 27 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,870 at the 2021 Census → 3,620 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 (SAL14093). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
