AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year.

For areas not covered by this data, Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Future population dynamics anticipate an increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, with the area expected to grow by 304 persons to 2041 based on the latest population numbers, resulting in a 4.3% increase 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 approximately 16 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, 82 homes were approved, with none yet in FY26. On average, each dwelling accommodates 2.6 new residents per year over these five years, indicating strong demand that supports property values.

New homes are constructed at an average cost of $359,000, reflecting a focus on the premium market and high-end developments. This financial year has seen $25.6 million in commercial approvals, suggesting steady commercial investment activity. Compared to Greater Hobart, Bellerive-Rosny has significantly less development activity, 60.0% below the regional average per person. The scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This activity is also under 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 to high-density housing, including a growing mix of townhouses and apartments.

This shift from the area's existing housing composition (currently 84.0% houses) reflects decreasing availability of developable sites and changing lifestyles requiring more diverse, affordable housing options. With approximately 377 people per approval, Bellerive-Rosny indicates a mature market. Future projections suggest that by 2041, the area will add around 282 residents. Given current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
