Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases and post-Census validated address additions, the suburb of West Busselton has an estimated count of approximately 9,536 residents as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 8,869 persons counted during the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 667 individuals (7.5%). The figure builds upon an estimated resident population of 9,358 established from ABS ERP data published in June 2025, alongside 104 newly confirmed addresses logged following the Census. Demographic density stands at 1,167 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
With post-census expansion reaching 7.5%, the suburb of West Busselton trails the national benchmark of 9.5% by only 2.0 percentage points, demonstrating solid demographic momentum. Inbound interstate relocation served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 83.0% of recent population increases. SA2-level projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) form the foundation of AreaSearch's modeling, complemented by cohort-specific rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region release (published in 2023 using 2022 figures) for unrepresented districts or periods beyond 2032. Projected demographic trajectories indicate population gains exceeding the typical non-metropolitan Australian rate, with the suburb of West Busselton forecast to expand by 1,097 residents by 2041 across aggregated SA2 indicators, which translates to a 16-year increase of 9.6%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
146 new dwellings have been approved in West Busselton over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
ABS residential construction records compiled by AreaSearch show that West Busselton has averaged approximately 29 residential approvals annually, delivering a total of roughly 146 dwellings across the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 35 approvals have been authorized. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the locality absorbed an average of 3.3 incoming residents per year for every dwelling constructed, creating a structural supply shortage that typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives asset valuations upward. New residential builds carry an average estimated construction cost of $538,000, marginally exceeding the broader regional figure and pointing to higher-tier housing stock.
In terms of non-residential planning, commercial development consents total $243,000 this financial year, pointing to subdued commercial building activity. Development throughput in West Busselton is subdued relative to Rest of WA, lagging the regional per-capita baseline by 87.0%. While this constrained pipeline generally supports capital values for established housing, construction volumes have shown recent acceleration. This pace also tracks below nationwide levels, reflecting a mature urban footprint and potential zoning constraints. Recent residential activity has consisted entirely of detached single-family dwellings, reinforcing a suburban environment tailored to households seeking lower-density living. An average of approximately 339 residents per residential building permit indicates a well-established property market. Projections indicate that the population of West Busselton will expand by 919 people between the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update and 2041. Although current building pipelines are generally tracking alongside anticipated growth, intensifying population inflows could elevate competition among prospective buyers over time.

Works involve construction of low-profile Geotextile Sand Container (GSC) groynes and beach nourishment with imported sand. Stage 1 (King Street to Vasse Drain) comprising 4 GSC groynes, 7,500 cubic metres of sand nourishment, and refurbishment of the King Street GSC revetment has been completed with the King Street carpark now open.Stage 2 (Gale Street to King Street) comprising 3 GSC groynes and 3,000 cubic metres of sand nourishment is scheduled for February to March 2026. The project is co-funded by the City of Busselton and a $3,532,500 NEMA Preparing Australian Communities Program (PACP) grant, forming part of the broader Geographe Bay Coastal Mitigation Works Project with a total budget of $7,065,000.
Busselton Jetty Marine Discovery Centre
The original whale-shaped Australian Underwater Discovery Centre proposal at Busselton Jetty has been paused due to cost escalation, with Busselton Jetty Inc continuing the on-jetty Marine Discovery Centre, jetty village facilities, exhibition space, public changerooms and cafe/terrace components. A Commonwealth-State funding schedule supports completion of the Marine Discovery Centre program through 2028, with planning/design, tender and construction milestones. The broader attraction supports marine education, research, tourism, accessibility and conservation at Geographe Bay.
Halcyon Vasse

Following development approval in March 2025, the project has progressed into construction with delivery planned in multiple stages together with resort style community facilities.
Coastal Dune Resilience Project
The City of Busselton is rehabilitating and enhancing coastal dunes and refurbishing the coastal path along Geographe Bay Road to increase their resilience to coastal erosion and flooding. Coastal dunes along Geographe Bay provide both natural coastal defense against erosion and an environmental habitat. The objective of this project is to enhance the capacity of the coastal dunes to resist erosion and to improve the ecological function of this unique coastal habitat. A hybrid solution of using nature-based techniques on coastal dunes to improve resilience to erosion and adapting existing coastal paths to reduce coastal flooding has been adopted.

Busselton Health Campus Expansion
Significant expansion of Busselton Health Campus to provide enhanced medical services, specialist facilities, and emergency care capabilities for the growing South West region population.
4,496 residents of West Busselton are employed, from a labour force of 4,644. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 58.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,429, about 78% 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
Statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch indicate that West Busselton maintains a diverse workforce of white-collar and blue-collar occupations, featuring notable concentrations across service and retail sectors alongside an unemployment rate of just 3.2%. As of March 2026, employed residents number 4,496, with local unemployment sitting 0.3% below the Regional WA benchmark of 3.5%, though labour participation of 58.8% trails the regional level of 65.4% by a substantial margin. Census records show that 6.0% of local workers operated from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Local employment is predominantly anchored by health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food.
West Busselton exhibits notable sector concentration in retail trade, generating an employment concentration 1.5 times the wider regional baseline. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.7% of local workers compared to 9.3% across the broader region. Comparisons between the resident workforce and locally situated Census jobs suggest that this predominantly residential district provides limited internal employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch's compilation of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12-month period to March 2026, the local labour pool contracted by 1.3% while overall employment fell by 1.4%, keeping joblessness essentially unchanged. Over the same timeline, Regional WA recorded a 0.1% employment reduction, a 0.3% increase in total labour force, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National occupational projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context on long-term labor demand for West Busselton. Nationwide figures forecast workforce growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral rates vary substantially. Applying these national industry weightings directly to the local occupational structure suggests employment gains of 6.1% over five years and 12.9% across ten years, representing an unadjusted industry-weighted model 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 — 104 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,869 at the 2021 Census → 9,536 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL51569). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
