Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Vineyard

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

217 new dwellings have been approved in Vineyard over the past five years, an average of 43 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 25 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 80, running ahead of 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

AreaSearch's analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from regional statistics indicates that Vineyard averages approximately 43 annual dwelling approvals. There were 217 homes approved over the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 74 approvals registered during FY-26 so far. An average of 2.2 people moved to the area for every new dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating healthy demand that helps sustain property values. The average expected construction cost for new homes is $521,000, which shows that builders are targeting upscale buyers with premium properties.

Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $7.4 million were registered this financial year, highlighting that the area is overwhelmingly residential. Recent construction consists entirely of detached houses, preserving the classic low-density profile of the area and focusing on family-oriented properties for buyers desiring space. Builders are constructing a higher proportion of detached homes than the historical baseline suggests (which stood at 66.0% at the Census), showing persistent demand for single-family residences despite broader trends toward densification. Vineyard exhibits the hallmarks of a developing area, with approximately 28 people for every dwelling approval. Population projections suggest Vineyard will add 1,786 residents up to 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing may fall short of population growth, which could increase buyer competition and support faster price growth.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Vineyard

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

914 residents of Vineyard are employed, from a labour force of 967. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 66.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

Vineyard features a diverse workforce split between blue-collar and white-collar roles, with construction showing particularly strong local representation. The area has an unemployment rate of 5.5% and saw an estimated 7.2% growth in employment over the past year, according to AreaSearch's aggregated statistical data. In March 2026, there were 914 working residents. The unemployment rate is 1.4% higher than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while the participation rate is slightly below average (66.3% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census figures show that a high 26.9% of residents worked from home, although this was likely influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.

The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Construction is highly concentrated locally, employing residents at 2.4 times the average seen across the broader region. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minimal footprint, employing 4.3% of workers compared to 11.5% regionally. The Census recorded a ratio of 0.6 workers for every resident, which points to a higher-than-average level of local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from the surrounding statistical areas, employment expanded by 7.2% and the labor force grew by 6.6% during the year ending March 2026, leading to a decrease in unemployment of 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a minor decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand in Vineyard. These five and ten-year projections have been mapped against the local industry profile to estimate future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by industry. Applying these trends to the local employment mix suggests Vineyard's employment should grow by 5.8% over five years and 12.0% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 295 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,143 at the 2021 Census → 1,734 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 (SAL14094). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Vineyard suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Vineyard page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Vineyard data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
