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

Wentworth Point's population is estimated at around 12,922 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 1.7% since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 12,703 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 11,708 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 369 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 22,670 persons per square kilometer, placing Wentworth Point in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Over the past decade, Wentworth Point has demonstrated resilient growth patterns with an 8.3% compound annual growth rate, outpacing the SA3 area. Population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 44.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and utilising NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 for areas not covered by this data. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb of Wentworth Point is expected to expand by 8,598 persons to 2041, reflecting a gain of 57.1% 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 indicates Wentworth Point averaged around 44 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 224 homes. As of FY-26, 44 approvals have been recorded. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 20.3 people moved to the area per year for each dwelling built, indicating significant demand exceeding new supply. This has typically resulted in price growth and increased buyer competition.

Additionally, $7,000 in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, reflecting the area's residential nature. Compared to Greater Sydney, Wentworth Point records markedly lower building activity, 62.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings, though development activity has picked up in recent periods. Nationally, this level is also below average, reflecting the area's maturity and possible planning constraints. New construction in Wentworth Point has been completely comprised of medium and high-density housing, offering affordable entry pathways and attracting downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. With around 200 people per dwelling approval, Wentworth Point shows characteristics of a low density area.

Future projections show Wentworth Point adding 7,384 residents by 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
