Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Wollongbar has an estimated population of around 3,323, according to AreaSearch research combining broader ABS updates with 89 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Compared to the 3,261 people counted in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 62 people (1.9%). This estimate builds upon an earlier resident population figure of 3,271 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release. With a population density of 188 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space and capacity for future expansion.
Across the preceding ten years, the suburb of Wollongbar sustained solid demographic momentum, achieving a 1.6% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the broader SA3 area. Interstate migration served as the leading catalyst, generating approximately 48.0% of recent population increases, alongside positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates SA2 projections published by the ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), supplemented where needed by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 (benchmarked to 2021). Age-specific expansion rates derived from these datasets are projected across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 period. In line with broader regional trends outpacing national medians, the suburb of Wollongbar is forecast to expand by 685 persons through to 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 19.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
207 new dwellings have been approved in Wollongbar over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 11.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 67% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 11, well below 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
According to AreaSearch examination of ABS building approvals mapped from statistical divisions, Wollongbar has seen development approval granted to roughly 41 dwellings annually. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), around 207 residential approvals were recorded, alongside 11 approved to date in FY-25. The ratio of incoming population stands at an average of just 0.4 new residents per year per newly approved residence across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating that residential building activity is keeping pace with or exceeding local requirements. Dwellings are constructed at an average expected building cost of $463,000, broadening options for purchasers and facilitating higher population gains.
Meanwhile, commercial building approvals total $2.2 million for the current financial year, pointing to relatively subdued non-residential development. Per capita residential construction in Wollongbar sits 130.0% higher than the Rest of NSW benchmark, maintaining strong developer interest and extensive inventory despite recent moderation in project volume. The composition of new approvals comprises 67.0% standalone detached houses and 33.0% medium to high-density dwellings, delivering varied choices including apartments and townhouses alongside traditional residences. This pipeline marks a notable evolution from the existing built form of 84.0% houses, catering to changing affordability constraints and site scarcity. An estimated ratio of 344 people per approved dwelling highlights an otherwise orderly, low-intensity planning environment. Future projections from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimates indicate that Wollongbar will add 633 residents leading up to 2041. The prevailing pace of construction should readily absorb this projected demand, ensuring favorable market conditions for prospective buyers and sustaining residential expansion beyond baseline demographic forecasts.

1,648 residents of Wollongbar are employed, from a labour force of 1,689. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 63.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,622, about 79% 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
The local labor market is characterized by strong representation in essential industries and low joblessness, with an unemployment rate of only 2.4% and an estimated 2.1% employment increase over the preceding year, as reported by AreaSearch from statistical area datasets. As of March 2026, the employed resident count reached 1,648 individuals, maintaining a jobless rate 1.7% lower than the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW. Labor force participation remains healthy at 63.8%, exceeding the regional benchmark of 60.6%. Census figures also indicate that 16.6% of workers worked from home, a proportion that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
Resident employment is concentrated primarily in retail trade, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The community exhibits a distinct specialization in education & training, where the proportion of employed residents is 1.3 times that of the wider region. Conversely, the mining sector accounts for only 0.2% of local workers, well beneath the 2.5% share observed across Regional NSW. A comparison between the Census working population and resident counts highlights relatively few local workplace positions within the immediate boundary. According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures, local employment grew by 2.1% over the 12-month period as the labor force expanded by 2.7%, leading to an increase of 0.5 percentage points in unemployment. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment and a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, with its jobless rate also lifting by 0.5 percentage points. Broader industry outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia (issued Mar-26) project nationwide workforce growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years across five and ten-year horizons. When mapped to the local occupational structure, these sector-specific trajectories suggest employment among Wollongbar residents could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (illustrative weighted extrapolation excluding localized 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 — 89 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,261 at the 2021 Census → 3,323 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.
