Wiley Park has an estimated 10,594 residents, up from 10,016 at the 2021 Census — a change of 578 people, or 5.8%. Overseas migration accounts for 74.0% of that increase. That puts 7,790 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining ABS demographic updates across the surrounding territory with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Wiley Park has an estimated population of approximately 10,594 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 578 residents (5.8%) from the 2021 Census tally of 10,016 people. The current figure stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 10,570 determined via the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 30 new addresses verified since the Census. Population density stands at 7,789 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the upper 10% of areas reviewed across the country and highlighting significant competition for local land.
The suburb of Wiley Park's 5.8% increase outpaced the broader SA3 area's 5.3% mark since the 2021 census, establishing it as a regional frontrunner. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 74.0% of recent population additions. Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 benchmarks, supplementing non-covered districts with 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures keyed to 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific growth rates derived from these sources are applied across all territories. Anticipated demographic adjustments indicate future expansion will track slightly under the national median, with the suburb of Wiley Park projected to add 1,287 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 forecasts, representing a 16-year total increase of 11.9%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
80 new dwellings have been approved in Wiley Park over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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
An evaluation of ABS building statistics by AreaSearch reveals that Wiley Park records roughly 16 residential approvals annually, totaling approximately 80 approved dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 12 recorded to date in FY-25. With an average influx of merely 0.9 new residents per approved dwelling across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction volume is keeping pace with or exceeding local requirements, broadening choices for purchasers and potentially facilitating stronger population expansion. Approved homes carry an average construction value of $340,000, coming in below regional norms and pointing to comparatively attainable new housing stock.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $4.5 million have been logged during the current financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential nature. Building approvals in Wiley Park trail Greater Sydney substantially, sitting 51.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. Such constrained development typically reinforces pricing and demand across the established dwelling market, while underperforming national figures due to neighborhood maturity and planning boundaries. Detached houses account for 69.0% of recent residential consents compared to 31.0% for apartments or townhouses, delivering varied medium-density possibilities alongside conventional detached options across multiple price tiers. This 69.0% emphasis on stand-alone homes notably exceeds the 29.0% recorded at Census, highlighting persistent appetite for detached housing amid broader urban densification. A ratio of around 875 people per dwelling approval further underlines the area's established urban profile. Forecasts indicate Wiley Park will gain 1,263 additional residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly baseline. Should building activity persist at current volumes, residential supply could face difficulties accommodating demographic expansion, which may intensify buyer competition and exert upward pressure on local home values.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Wiley Park Station Sydney Metro Upgrade
Upgrade of Wiley Park Station to metro standards as part of the T3 Bankstown Line conversion to the Sydney Metro Southwest (M1 line extension). Works include new lifts installed for the first time in the station's history, platform screen doors, level access between platforms and trains, a refreshed concourse, new station entry plaza with seating, lighting and bicycle parking, and new platform canopies. The line closed in September 2024 to enable final conversion works. Metro services between Sydenham and Bankstown are scheduled to open in the second half of 2026, with trains running every four minutes in the peak (15 per hour), delayed from the original 2025 target due to industrial action impacts.
Wiley Park Plaza Mixed-Use Development
Wiley Park Plaza is a large-scale mixed-use development adjacent to Wiley Park railway station, comprising 280 residential apartments, a public plaza, supermarket, retail specialty shops, commercial office space and 3-storey basement car parking with 248 spaces. Designed by Marchese Partners (Life3A), the site received DA approval and was sold via Expressions of Interest in June 2023 to an incoming developer.
Punchbowl and Wiley Park TOD Precinct Plan
Canterbury-Bankstown Council's place-based alternative to the NSW Government's Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Program for Punchbowl and Wiley Park. The plan was endorsed by Council on 17 June 2025 and submitted to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. The LEP amendment (EPI 2026-177) was gazetted on 24 April 2026, formally unlocking more than 15,000 new homes across the two precincts on the doorstep of the new Sydney Metro stations at Punchbowl and Wiley Park.Key features include building heights of 6 to 18 storeys, floor space ratios of 0.7:1 to 5.5:1, a minimum 3 per cent affordable housing requirement for developments over 200 square metres, revitalisation of main streets, new public open spaces and pedestrian links, and mixed-use development within 800 metres of each station.

Belmore Sydney Metro Station Upgrade
The upgrade of the 130-year-old Belmore Station is part of the Sydney Metro City and Southwest project. It involves converting the existing T3 Bankstown Line to metro standards, featuring the installation of platform screen doors, mechanical gap fillers for level access, and heritage restoration of station buildings. As of May 2026, the project is in the final testing and commissioning phase, with intensive weekend closures scheduled through July to facilitate trial running and system integration before services commence in the second half of 2026.
Sydney Metro City and Southwest
A 30km metro rail line extending the M1 Northwest Line from Chatswood to Bankstown via twin tunnels under Sydney Harbour and the CBD. The Chatswood to Sydenham section opened in August 2024, with conversion of the 13.5km Sydenham to Bankstown section scheduled for completion in late 2026. Once fully operational, the 66km corridor with 31 stations will deliver driverless metro services running every four minutes during peak periods.
Canterbury-Bankstown Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan 2022
Council-wide infrastructure contributions plan that funds local infrastructure required to support population growth across the City of Canterbury-Bankstown. The plan enables contributions towards parks, roads, footpaths, cycleways, libraries, community facilities and other local infrastructure. Originally adopted in June 2022 and commenced on 1 September 2022, it was amended in March 2024 and further housekeeping amendments were adopted in July 2025.
Punchbowl Station Upgrade - Sydney Metro City & Southwest
Conversion of the heritage-listed Punchbowl Station, originally opened in 1909, to fully automated metro standards as part of the Sydenham to Bankstown extension of the M1 Metro North West & Bankstown Line. The station closed on 30 September 2024 to allow conversion works, with new lifts installed for the first time, level access between platforms and trains via mechanical gap fillers, platform screen doors, refurbished station buildings, upgraded platform surfaces and a new kiss and ride zone.The works are part of the Dulwich Hill, Campsie and Punchbowl station package delivered by Downer EDI Works (valued around 107 million AUD), with broader corridor works including 28.3 kilometres of new railway fencing, road-over-rail bridge upgrades and platform screen door installation. Once open, customers will have a new air-conditioned metro train every four minutes in the peak, equating to 15 trains an hour compared to eight previously. High-speed dynamic testing at up to 100 km/h commenced in November 2025, with around 9,000 hours and 30,000 kilometres of testing required before opening. Services are scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026, with a target opening of September 2026, after delays attributed to industrial action and the complexity of converting a 130-year-old line.
4,548 residents of Wiley Park are employed, from a labour force of 4,948. Unemployment sits at 8.1%, with participation at 59.8%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 8,524, about 80% 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
A well-schooled workforce characterizes Wiley Park across multiple sectors, registering an unemployment rate of 8.1% and a 3.3% annual expansion in local employment according to AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 4,548, though the local jobless rate exceeds Greater Sydney's 4.1% by 4.0 percentage points, and labor force participation remains comparatively subdued at 59.8% versus 68.9% regionally. Census returns indicated that 25.6% of local workers operated from home, an outcome influenced by Covid-19 restrictions at the time. Primary sources of local resident employment include retail trade, health care & social assistance, alongside transport, postal & warehousing.
Retail employment is particularly pronounced, tracking at 1.8 times the broader regional proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector represents only 7.3% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% across the wider region. As a largely residential precinct, the territory provides relatively few internal employment positions based on the comparison of working-to-resident populations at Census. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, employment levels increased by 3.3% during the year to March 2026, while the labour force grew by 3.8%, leading to an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. This trend differs from Greater Sydney, where employment rose by 1.9%, the labour force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment fell slightly. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Wiley Park. These projections, which cover five and ten-year periods, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. National employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though growth rates vary considerably across industry sectors. When these industry-specific projections are applied to Wiley Park's employment mix, local employment is expected to increase by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years. It is important to note that this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 30 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,016 at the 2021 Census → 10,594 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 (SAL14310). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
