Sales Detail
Wandi has an estimated 5,600 residents, up from 4,324 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,276 people, or 29.5%. Growth has averaged 5.0% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 116 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 70.0% of that increase. That puts 451 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Wandi has reached an estimated population of approximately 5,600 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,276 residents (29.5%) compared to the 4,324 inhabitants documented in the 2021 Census. Such growth is calculated from an estimated resident population of 5,290 derived from the ABS ERP figures published in June 2025, coupled with 116 newly validated addresses identified after the Census benchmark. Consequently, population density stands at 450 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial land area per resident and room for ongoing urban expansion.
Outperforming both state figures and the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, Wandi's 29.5% surge positions it among the region's fastest-growing localities. Net interstate migration served as the foremost catalyst, generating roughly 70.0% of recent population gains, alongside positive contributions from natural increase and net overseas arrivals. Demographic forecasting incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 utilizing 2022 baseline statistics. For uncovered SA2 districts and timeline projections extending beyond 2032, calculations apply age-bracket growth trajectories from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (grounded in 2022 benchmarks). Looking ahead, the suburb of Wandi is set to outpace median national growth, adding a projected 1,176 persons to 2041 across aggregated SA2 assessments—an overall expansion of 15.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
168 new dwellings have been approved in Wandi over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 51 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 113, 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of statistical building figures from the ABS indicates that Wandi averages around 33 residential building permits annually. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), approximately 168 residential dwellings were approved, with 113 recorded to date in FY-25. With an influx of 4.5 incoming residents yearly for each home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction falls well short of incoming demand, commonly fostering heightened buyer competition and upward pricing pressure. Residential dwellings under construction carry an average value of $397,000, while non-residential activity remains minimal with $25,000 in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year, highlighting the locality's predominantly residential character.
Per capita residential building approvals in Wandi sit at roughly three-quarters of the Greater Perth benchmark, yet the district still ranks in the 94th percentile across the country, aided by a recent uptick in building activity. Every newly approved home consists of a detached dwelling, safeguarding the low-density neighborhood layout and appealing directly to households seeking spacious living. Logging approximately 50 people per dwelling approval, Wandi displays classic hallmarks of an active growth corridor. According to the latest quarterly forecasts from AreaSearch, Wandi is slated to welcome 866 additional inhabitants through to 2041. Current building pipelines appear well-matched to anticipated requirements, supporting an orderly property market without severe pricing strain.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Anketell-Thomas Road Freight Corridor
A long term Westport road project to create a high quality freight corridor along Anketell Road and Thomas Road between the new container port at Kwinana and Tonkin Highway in Oakford. In April 2026 the Australian and Western Australian governments jointly announced a landmark AUD 1.1 billion investment, split evenly between the Commonwealth and the State, to fund the first construction stage of Anketell Road. This stage will widen Anketell Road to a dual carriageway between Leath Road and Abercrombie Road, deliver a grade separated interchange at Rockingham Road, and extend Anketell Road to Leath Road to provide access to the Westport precinct.Provision is also being made for a future freight rail corridor and on dock rail terminal connection. A Project Reference Design is being developed through 2026, with major utility relocations scheduled to begin in 2027 and road construction expected to commence in 2028. Stage 2, covering Abercrombie Road to Kwinana Freeway, remains subject to further funding. Planning control areas are in place to protect the long term corridor route, and environmental referrals have been lodged with both State and Commonwealth regulators.

2,605 residents of Wandi are employed, from a labour force of 2,714. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 68.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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. The working-day population is estimated at 4,421, about 79% 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
Data aggregated by AreaSearch reflects an educated resident workforce with substantial concentration across core public services and an unemployment rate of 4.0%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,605, keeping local unemployment 0.2% below the Greater Perth mark of 4.2%, while labor force participation aligns closely with the metropolitan standard of 69.9%. Census records indicate that only 9.1% of workers carried out their roles from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions during that period should be noted. Local workers are primarily concentrated in health care & social assistance, construction, as well as education & training.
Notably, manufacturing demonstrates pronounced local specialization, employing 1.3 times the regional average share. Conversely, accommodation & food services is noticeably under-represented, absorbing just 4.4% of working residents relative to 6.8% across Greater Perth. The discrepancy between resident workers and local job counts highlights the neighborhood's residential character and limited internal employment base. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM statistical series reveal that throughout the year to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 8.1% and employment shrank by 8.5%, lifting local unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Perth, by comparison, jobs expanded by 2.0%, the labor pool grew by 2.5%, and unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points. Industry projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide further perspective on potential employment shifts across Wandi. Nationally, job numbers are modeled to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variation across specific industries. When calibrated to the local sector distribution, these trends point to prospective employment gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (serving as an illustrative weighted baseline without factoring in localized population changes).

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 — 116 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,324 at the 2021 Census → 5,600 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.
