Wentworth Point

Wentworth Point lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

The change is inferred from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 13,363 as of June 2024, based on the latest ERP data release by the ABS and an additional 212 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 25,359 persons per square kilometer, placing Wentworth Point in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb's population growth of 13.8% since the 2021 census exceeded both the state (6.7%) and metropolitan area averages, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 44.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, exceptional growth is predicted over this period, with Wentworth Point expected to expand by 9,740 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 69.6% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Wentworth Point among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers in Wentworth Point shows an average of around 51 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling approximately 257 homes. As of FY-26, no approvals have been recorded yet. This area has seen an average of 17.7 people moving to it per year for each dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating significant demand exceeding new supply. This typically leads to price growth and increased buyer competition.

In FY-26, $35,000 in commercial development approvals have been recorded, reflecting the area's residential nature. Compared to Greater Sydney, Wentworth Point has markedly lower building activity, at 57.0% below the regional average per person, which generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings. Recent building activity consists entirely of townhouses or apartments, offering affordable entry pathways and attracting downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. The area has approximately 227 people per dwelling approval, suggesting room for growth. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Wentworth Point is expected to grow by 10,058 residents through to 2041.

If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
