Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Wellard

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,356 new dwellings have been approved in Wellard over the past five years, an average of 271 a year. That places the area in the 99th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 247 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 318, broadly in line with 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 research on building approvals compiled by ABS for the local area, about 271 dwellings are approved for development annually in Wellard, with a total of 1,356 homes receiving approvals over the preceding 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25) and an additional 292 during FY-26 so far. Because the ratio of new residents to completed dwellings averaged 3.6 people annually over those 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, a trend that typically pushes values upward and intensifies competition among buyers, even as new dwellings average a construction value of $368,000—slightly above regional averages—pointing to a focus on quality builds.

Commercial approvals total $7.0 million for the current financial year, underlining the dominant residential character of the locality. Building volumes in Wellard run moderately higher than in Greater Perth, tracking 22.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period, ensuring options for purchasers while helping maintain current asset values. This rate is substantially higher than the national standard, indicating robust developer interest. The construction mix is dominated by detached houses at 96.0%, with attached dwellings accounting for 4.0%, maintaining a traditional suburban feel with a focus on single-family homes that draw buyers looking for space. With roughly 57 people for each approval, Wellard displays the characteristics of a growing community. Looking forward, the population of Wellard is projected to expand by 6,460 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing is positioned to satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially underpinning growth that surpasses current projections.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Wellard

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

10,319 residents of Wellard are employed, from a labour force of 10,769. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 75.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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 14,029, about 74% 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 local workforce is characterized by strong qualification levels, with notable employment in core service sectors and an unemployment rate of 4.2%, based on aggregated statistical area statistics. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 10,319, matching the Greater Perth unemployment rate of 4.2%, while the participation rate of 75.5% significantly exceeded the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census figures indicate that a minor 5.6% portion of the workforce operated from home, though this period was influenced by pandemic-related restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.

By contrast, education & training shows a smaller share, employing 6.8% of workers compared to 9.2% across the wider region. Given the difference between the census-recorded local workforce and the resident population, this heavily residential area appears to provide few local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS data from the surrounding statistical areas shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 1.3% and employment fell by 1.7%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.4 percentage points. This diverged from Greater Perth, which saw employment rise by 2.0%, the labor force expand by 2.5%, and unemployment increase by 0.4 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment trends. Although employment nationally is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the occupational distribution of Wellard indicates local employment should grow by 6.2% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, noting this is a weighted extrapolation for comparison and does not incorporate localized 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 — 882 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,127 at the 2021 Census → 18,903 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 (SAL51558). 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 Wellard 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 Wellard 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 Wellard 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 (Jul 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.
