Bellerive - Rosny

Bellerive - Rosny has seen population growth performance typically on par with national averages when looking at short and medium term trends

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Bellerive - Rosny's population is around 6,626 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 104 people (1.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 6,522 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 6,600 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 55 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 1,403 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, which contributed approximately 87.2% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and to estimate growth by age group in the years post-2032, the Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Anticipating future population dynamics, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is expected, with the area expected to grow by 304 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 4.2% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Bellerive - Rosny recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

Bellerive - Rosny has recorded around 16 residential properties granted approval per year, with 82 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 1 so far in FY-26. At an average of 2.6 new residents per year for each dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating healthy demand that should support property values, new homes are being built at an average value of $359,000, showing that developers are focusing on the premium market with high-end developments. Additionally, $25.6 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, indicating steady commercial investment activity.

Compared to Greater Hobart, Bellerive - Rosny has significantly less development activity (60.0% below regional average per person). This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This activity is similarly below the national average, indicating the area's established nature and suggesting potential planning limitations. Recent construction comprises 62.0% standalone homes and 38.0% medium and high-density housing, with a growing mix of townhouses and apartments providing options across different price points, from family homes to more affordable compact living. This represents a notable shift from the area's existing housing (currently 84.0% houses), indicating decreasing availability of developable sites and reflecting changing lifestyles and the need for more diverse, affordable housing options. At around 377 people per approval, Bellerive - Rosny indicates a mature market.

Future projections show Bellerive - Rosny adding 278 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
