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

AreaSearch analysis shows Wentworth Point averaged approximately 31 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 155 homes. In FY-26 so far, 24 approvals have been recorded. The area has seen an average of 29.4 people moving in per year for each dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating high demand outstripping supply, which typically drives price growth and increased buyer competition. This financial year has also seen $7,000 in commercial development approvals, reflecting the area's residential nature.

Compared to Greater Sydney, Wentworth Point has significantly lower building activity, 74.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings, although recent periods have seen increased development activity. Nationally, Wentworth Point's level of development is also below average, suggesting maturity and possible planning constraints. All new construction in the area has been medium or high-density housing, offering affordable entry pathways and attracting downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. With around 303 people per dwelling approval, Wentworth Point exhibits characteristics of a low density area. Future projections estimate an addition of 11,692 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate.

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

State-level data from NSW up to 25-Nov shows employment contracted by 0.03% (losing 2,260 jobs), with the state unemployment rate at 3.9%.

Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 offer insights into potential future demand within Wentworth Point. These projections estimate national employment growth at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years.
