Landsdale

Landsdale 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, Landsdale's population is around 17,702 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 2,301 people (14.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 15,401 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 17,501 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 196 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 2,448 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Landsdale's 14.9% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (9.9%) and the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth, which contributed approximately 44.5% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and interstate 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, an above-median population growth of Australian statistical areas is projected, with the area expected to grow by 4,172 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, recording a gain of 22.4% in total over the 17 years.

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

Landsdale has averaged around 100 new dwelling approvals each year, totalling 503 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 27 approvals have been recorded. Given an average of 5.2 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand significantly exceeds new supply, which usually results in price growth and increased buyer competition, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $194,000—below the regional average—suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers.

When measured against Greater Perth, Landsdale has around two-thirds the rate of new dwelling approvals per person while it places among the 51st percentile of areas assessed nationally. New development consists of 98.0% detached houses and 2.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. With around 308 people per dwelling approval, Landsdale shows a developing market.

Population forecasts indicate Landsdale will gain 3,971 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Current development appears well-matched to future needs, supporting steady market conditions without extreme price pressure.

Landsdale has emerging levels of nearby infrastructure activity, ranking in the 29thth percentile nationally

AreaSearch analysis reveals Landsdale significantly outperforming the majority of regions assessed nationwide

Landsdale features a well-educated workforce, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of just 2.9%, and 4.0% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of December 2025, 10,651 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.2% below Greater Perth's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (82.3% compared to Greater Perth's 71.9%). Based on Census responses, a low 7.1% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.

Employment among residents is concentrated in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The area has particular employment specialization in retail trade, with an employment share of 1.3 times the regional level. Conversely, education & training shows lower representation at 7.3% versus the regional average of 9.2%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population.

Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, during the year to December 2025, employment levels increased by 4.0% and labour force increased by 4.3%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.3% and labour force growth of 2.6%, with a 0.3 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Landsdale. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Landsdale's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).
