This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Demographic analysis by AreaSearch indicates that Bullsbrook reaches approximately 8,190 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,605 people, this represents an expansion of 2,585 people (46.1%). This upward trajectory combines the ABS estimated resident population figure of 7,112 recorded as of June 2025 with 996 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 32 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space across the locality. Outpacing both state figures and the national average (9.5%), Bullsbrook's 46.1% rate of increase positions it at the forefront of regional expansion.
Inflows from interstate migration served as the primary catalyst, accounting for roughly 64.1% of recent population additions, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also supplied positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline. Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for all post-2032 forecasting, AreaSearch integrates age-cohort growth rates drawn from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (utilising 2022 data). Looking forward, the locality places within the upper quartile of examined statistical areas, with expectations of adding 1,641 persons up to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an aggregate gain of 6.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
794 new dwellings have been approved in Bullsbrook over the past five years, an average of 158 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 159 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential planning in Bullsbrook recorded 794 homes approved, maintaining an annual pace of roughly 158 new dwelling approvals. Balanced against an intake of 1.9 new residents per year per dwelling constructed between FY-22 and FY-26, local supply aligns smoothly with incoming demand to foster orderly market conditions. Furthermore, newly planned residences carry an average construction valuation of $370,000 in line with regional benchmarks, while commercial development remains active with $20.7 million in commercial approvals lodged this financial year. Per capita building volume in Bullsbrook surpasses Greater Perth by 108.0%, widening the pool of housing options for purchasers.
This elevated pace places well above nationwide averages, underscoring substantial developer appetite. Detached houses account for 97.0% of new residential activity compared to 3.0% allocated to townhouses or apartments, preserving the low-density, family-oriented layout sought by buyers prioritizing spacious living. The current ratio of roughly 31 people per approval underscores an expanding residential market. According to the latest quarterly projection from AreaSearch, Bullsbrook is slated to welcome 563 residents by 2041. Ongoing building trajectories indicate that residential construction will easily accommodate this influx, sustaining advantageous buying dynamics and potentially enabling population increases that outstrip baseline projections.

Bullsbrook Intermodal Transport Facility
The Bullsbrook Freight and Industrial Land Use Planning Strategy was endorsed in October 2025, providing a long-term strategic framework (50+ years) for more than 2,500 hectares of industrial and employment land in the City of Swan. The strategy supports a proposed intermodal freight terminal alongside the narrow-gauge freight rail line connecting Perth to Dongara, with the facility designed to shift containerised freight from road to rail, link Fremantle Port and the Kwinana Outer Harbour to Perth's north-eastern corridor, and generate up to 40,000 new jobs.Planning Control Area 186 remains in effect to protect the site from incompatible development pending formal reservation in the Metropolitan Region Scheme. The prior Market-led Proposal by Harvis Capital did not progress beyond Stage 2. The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage is now leading next-stage planning including regional scheme amendments and structure planning.
Darling Bullsbrook
Darling Bullsbrook is an 84 hectare masterplanned residential community in South Bullsbrook, approximately 32 kilometres north-east of the Perth CBD and adjacent to the Kingsford Town Centre. Wholly owned and delivered by Mirvac, the project has capacity for around 1,220 lots and broke ground in mid-2025, with its first stage of land release selling out due to strong demand. The design preserves Nambad Brook and mature trees, integrates Indigenous cultural heritage into the landscape, and will include a proposed cafe, landscaped parks, a proposed primary school, and walking and cycling connections to the neighbouring Woolworths-anchored Kingsford Town Centre.Settlement is expected to take place progressively from FY27 through to FY35.

Whiteman Yanchep Highway Planning (Neaves Road North Corridor)
Alignment definition study and Planning Control Area (PCA 173) declared to protect the road reservation for the future Whiteman Yanchep Highway (previously the East Wanneroo North-South Route). This proposed new north-south route is intended to ease pressure on the Mitchell Freeway and facilitate regional freight and commuter traffic movement. It is currently a planning study only with no funding available for construction.
Tonkin Highway North Ellenbrook Interchange
The Tonkin Highway North Ellenbrook Interchange is a planned grade-separated interchange on Tonkin Highway between Warbrook Road and Maralla Road at Bullsbrook, north of Ellenbrook. Led by Main Roads WA, the $100 million project will deliver a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) and a grade-separated principal shared path, improving safety and travel times on the Tonkin Highway corridor. The interchange is a key enabler for the North Ellenbrook East and West District Structure Plans, unlocking more than 12,500 future residential lots and supporting around 36,000 future residents with better access to schools, jobs and services.Subject to environmental and heritage approvals, procurement for design and construction is expected to commence in 2026, with construction completion targeted for late 2027.
4,019 residents of Bullsbrook are employed, from a labour force of 4,150. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 72.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. 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 labour profile displays an even balance between manual and professional occupations, highlighted by substantial participation in the construction sector, an unemployment rate of merely 3.2%, and a 3.8% annual rise in estimated jobs. As of March 2026, 4,019 residents are employed, local joblessness tracks 1.0% beneath the 4.2% figure observed in Greater Perth, and participation remains steady at 72.7% against 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census records show just 9.5% working remotely from home, though pandemic lockdown circumstances may have influenced this proportion. Resident workers are primarily occupied across construction, mining, and health care & social assistance.
Agricultural, forestry & fishing activities show exceptional concentration locally, employing workers at 6.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance remains comparatively low, engaging 9.0% of the Bullsbrook workforce relative to 14.8% throughout Greater Perth. Even with local positions present, the ratio of Census workers to resident population points to a substantial commuter contingent travelling outside the boundary for work. Evaluation of ABS and SALM figures shows that over a 12-month timeframe, local jobs grew by 3.8% alongside a 4.0% rise in the labour pool, nudging the unemployment rate upward by 0.2 percentage points. In Greater Perth, employment rose 2.0%, the workforce grew 2.5%, and unemployment climbed 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia (Mar-26) outlines five- and ten-year national employment trajectories of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively. Applying these sector-by-sector rates to Bullsbrook's local industry composition indicates potential employment growth of 5.4% over five years and 11.8% over ten years (representing a direct weighted extrapolation that excludes local 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 — 996 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,605 at the 2021 Census → 8,190 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 (504031058). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
