Sales Detail
Wanniassa has an estimated 7,741 residents, down from 7,885 at the 2021 Census — a change of 144 people, or 1.8%. That puts 1,434 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's evaluation of regional ABS population revisions alongside address records verified post-Census, the suburb of Wanniassa has an estimated resident count of approximately 7,741 as of Aug 2026. This indicates a contraction of 144 people (1.8%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 7,885 people. Such demographic change stems from an estimated resident base of 7,731 determined through the ABS ERP release from June 2025 combined with 39 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The suburb of Wanniassa records a population density of 1,433 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated across AreaSearch locations.
Inbound overseas migration represented the foremost driver of local gains, generating roughly 53.0% of overall population additions over recent timeframes. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures have been utilized for local SA2 calculations by AreaSearch, with missing SA2 data and projection horizons beyond 2032 drawing upon ACT Government SA2 age-cohort growth models based on 2022. Overall demographic trajectory models indicate a softening resident count for the suburb of Wanniassa, with expectations of a 447 persons reduction through to 2041. In contrast, specific age brackets will experience expansion, most notably persons aged 75 to 84 who are forecast to add 147 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Wanniassa over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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 residential construction permissions compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Wanniassa records an annual run rate of approximately 12 approved residential dwellings, accumulating to roughly 61 homes over the previous 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 6 approvals have been logged. Concurrent with local population decline, residential construction volume has satisfactorily met demand, providing purchasers with ample options, whilst incoming dwellings carry an average construction value of $372,000. Underscoring the dominant residential landscape, non-residential approvals stand at $4.4 million for the current financial year. Per-capita development velocity in Wanniassa closely aligns with Australian Capital Territory averages, preserving balanced local market dynamics.
Approvals track lower than the nationwide average, reflecting the established urban fabric and possible zoning constraints. Half of recent building consents comprise detached houses (50.0%) alongside an equal share of medium and high-density dwellings (50.0%). This emphasis on denser formats introduces accessible price tiers suitable for downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors alike. Because existing stock is heavily tilted toward detached homes (90.0%), this shift indicates reduced availability of greenfield sites while catering to changing demographic preferences and affordability requirements, with roughly 672 people per dwelling approval highlighting an established environment. With demographic projections remaining subdued or negative, Wanniassa should encounter eased residential demand pressures, presenting advantageous purchasing conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Wanniassa Hills Primary School Modernisation
ACT Government modernisation project at Wanniassa Hills Primary School delivering a preschool upgrade and replacement of existing gas boilers with fully electric heat pumps to improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort and learning environments. The works build on the school's earlier major modernisation program including new learning communities, administration refurbishment, hall improvements and expanded parking. Electrical supply upgrade works were tendered in 2025 to support the new HVAC system.
Erindale Group Centre Master Plan Implementation - Stage 1
A long-term revitalisation of the Erindale Group Centre focused on transforming public spaces, improving pedestrian and active travel links, and upgrading community infrastructure. The 2025-26 ACT Budget specifically funded the Erindale shops upgrade, with concept designs for public space improvements, including new lighting, paving, and furniture, expected for community feedback in 2026. The broader master plan facilitates future mixed-use development and roughly 800 new dwellings to support Tuggeranong growth.
The Valley Ponds - Wanniassa
Proposed medium-density residential estate of approximately 120-150 townhouses and apartments on former open space land between Wanniassa Hills and the Erindale Centre, part of the broader Indicative Land Release Program.
Kambah Group Centre Expansion
A $20 million private redevelopment led by Exempla Group to revitalize the Kambah Village precinct. The project involves doubling the existing Woolworths supermarket footprint to approximately 3,475 square metres to create a full-line store. The expansion includes a new BWS, additional specialty retail units ranging from 50 to 300 square metres, new food outlets, and medical services. The design features a new covered northern entry and integrated landscaping designed to complement ACT Government public realm upgrades.Current planning focus includes lease variations to accommodate indoor recreation and personal services.
Wanniassa Playing Fields Irrigation & Lighting Upgrade
Installation of automated irrigation system and sports field lighting at Wanniassa District Playing Fields to support increased usage, night use, and drought resilience.
Canberra Light Rail Stage 4 - Woden to Tuggeranong
Proposed southern extension of the Canberra light rail network connecting Woden Town Centre to Tuggeranong Town Centre via the Athllon Drive corridor. Recent 2026 updates indicate the ACT Government is developing a transit-oriented development (ToD) plan for the Athllon Drive corridor, with conceptual integrated bus and light rail network options for Canberra South expected by June 2026. The project remains part of the long-term City-wide Light Rail Network plan to support a population of 500,000.
Empire Global Mixed-Use Development
Major mixed-use development comprising 299 residential apartments, 6 serviced apartments, and 1 commercial unit across two buildings up to 8 storeys. Includes three basement parking levels with 371 car spaces. The project was initially refused due to solar access concerns, but the developer plans to resubmit with amendments addressing planning authority concerns.
Athllon Drive Duplication
The Athllon Drive Duplication upgrades a key arterial road linking Woden to Tuggeranong in the ACT. The primary southern section duplicates 2.4 km between Sulwood Drive and Drakeford Drive in Kambah and Wanniassa, with a smaller 600 m northern section between Hindmarsh Drive and Melrose Drive. Works include lane duplication, new traffic signals at multiple intersections, upgraded bus stops, active travel paths for cyclists and pedestrians, water quality improvements for Lake Tuggeranong, and a new underpass under Sulwood Drive.Jointly funded by the ACT and Australian governments at $98.55 million, the Development Application for the southern section was approved in early 2026 following completion of enabling works. A tender for main construction is expected to be issued in 2026, with the northern section design ongoing and its timeline less certain due to future light rail corridor planning.
3,978 residents of Wanniassa are employed, from a labour force of 4,222. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 66.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,681, about 86% 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
Wanniassa maintains a highly skilled workforce concentrated heavily in essential service industries, characterized by an unemployment rate of 5.8% and steady year-on-year employment conditions per AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,978, with local unemployment sitting 1.7% above the Australian Capital Territory benchmark of 4.1% and a participation rate of 66.1% trailing the broader territory standard of 70.6%. Census findings show that 11.7% of workers performed their duties from home, though pandemic lockdown circumstances during that period must be noted. A substantial portion of local workers are employed across public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
By comparison, professional & technical roles are less prevalent, accounting for 8.7% of the Wanniassa workforce against 11.1% throughout Australian Capital Territory. As demonstrated by the relationship between resident workers and local operational positions recorded at the Census, the suburb functions primarily as a dormitory community with constrained internal employment. According to ABS and SALM series compiled by AreaSearch across broader statistical boundaries, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw local labour supply expand by 1.0% while total employment dipped by 0.4%, lifting local joblessness by 1.3 percentage points. Across Australian Capital Territory over the identical interval, employment grew by 0.3%, the labour pool increased by 1.1%, and unemployment climbed 0.7 percentage points. Looking ahead, national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context regarding future employment trends; nationwide projections anticipate an increase in employment of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral rates vary widely. Aligning these industry trajectories with local occupational concentrations suggests Wanniassa employment may rise 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (a basic weighted extrapolation presented for context that excludes local demographic 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 — 39 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,885 at the 2021 Census → 7,741 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.
