Aveley

Aveley lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Aveley's population was around 18,882 as of Nov 2025. This reflected an increase of 3,202 people (20.4%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 15,680 people. The change was inferred from the estimated resident population of 18,887 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 172 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equated to a density ratio of 2,797 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Aveley's 20.4% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (8.9%), along with the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 45.4% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive factors.

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 across all areas in the years post-2032, AreaSearch is utilising the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). As we examine future population trends, a significant population increase in the top quartile of Australian statistical areas is forecast, with the area expected to increase by 5,801 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 30.8% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Aveley among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Aveley has received approximately 172 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling 861 homes. As of FY-26, two approvals have been recorded. On average, for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, Aveley welcomed 4.9 new residents per year. This has led to a significant demand exceeding supply, driving price growth and increased buyer competition.

The average construction cost of new homes in Aveley is $125,000, which is below regional norms, offering more affordable housing options for purchasers. This financial year, Aveley has registered $3.2 million in commercial approvals, indicating a limited focus on commercial development compared to other areas. When measured against Greater Perth and national averages, Aveley has 16.0% less new development per person and ranks among the 34th percentile of assessed areas nationally. This results in more limited housing choices for buyers, supporting demand for existing properties.

New developments in Aveley consist of 91.0% detached dwellings and 9.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. The location has approximately 522 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Aveley is projected to add 5,806 residents by 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand in the future, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.

State-wide, WA employment contracted by 0.27% from November 2024 to November 2025, with an unemployment rate of 4.6%, slightly above the national rate of 4.3%. National employment forecasts project a 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Aveley's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, though this is a simple extrapolation and does not account for localized population projections.
