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.

Sales Detail
Morawa has an estimated 4,149 residents, up from 3,876 at the 2021 Census — a change of 273 people, or 7.0%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 45.2% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the population of Morawa stands at approximately 4,149 according to research by AreaSearch. This total indicates an addition of 273 people (7.0%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 3,876 people. These figures are derived by combining the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,149 recorded as of June 2025 with 80 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a low population density of 0.20 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers considerable space to its inhabitants. Expanding by 7.0% post-census, Morawa sits within 1.2 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (8.2%), highlighting sound local growth.
While natural increase and interstate migration both yielded positive additions, the primary catalyst was overseas migration, generating roughly 45.2% of recent population increases. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries. Where coverage is absent or for forecasting beyond 2032 across all localities, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth projections from the ABS Greater Capital Region series (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). In line with these demographic patterns, future expansion is projected to track slightly underneath the non-capital city median, adding 289 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP population statistics, representing cumulative growth of 7.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
97 new dwellings have been approved in Morawa over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail
Dwelling construction in Morawa has seen an average of roughly 19 approvals per year, amounting to 97 homes across the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the locality recorded an average of 2.2 new residents per dwelling annually over the past 5 financial years, signaling healthy underlying demand capable of sustaining local values. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $340,000—below broader regional benchmarks—highlighting accessible price points for purchasers. Alongside housing, $4.1 million in commercial building approvals were lodged this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the market.
Morawa exhibits a development rate that is 17.0% higher than the rest of WA on a per person basis across the 5 year period, which helps maintain adequate buyer choices while supporting current property demand. All recent construction projects in the area involve detached dwellings, reinforcing the locality's low density character and appealing to buyers who prioritize space. With an average of 225 people per approval, Morawa demonstrates a market in transition. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Morawa is projected to gain 289 residents by 2041. Ongoing construction activity indicates that future housing supply is well positioned to absorb incoming demand smoothly, establishing favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion above current demographic forecasts.

The Waitsia Joint Venture is a 50:50 partnership between operator Mitsui E&P Australia (MEPAU) and Beach Energy.
Belisama Gas Project (Lockyer Gas Field)
Development of the Lockyer conventional gas field by Hancock Energy (a Hancock Prospecting company), formerly known as the Lockyer Conventional Gas Project under Mineral Resources. Hancock acquired the exploration permits EP368 and EP426 from MinRes in December 2024 for approximately $780 million upfront. The project, now branded Belisama, comprises conventional production wells, an upstream gas gathering network, infield hubs and flowlines, a central processing facility (CPF) with gas treatment, condensate stabilisation and produced water treatment, and a gas export trunkline connecting to the Dampier Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP).The CPF is sited on a greenfields agricultural property approximately 40 km east of Dongara. Designed to produce up to 210 terajoules per day, the project could supply up to 20 per cent of Western Australia domestic gas demand. The EPA referral was submitted in late November 2025 with construction targeted for the second half of 2026 following environmental approvals, and first gas to market expected in 2029. No hydraulic fracture stimulation (fracking) is required. The project includes up to 20 per cent export rights until end of 2030 under WA Government policy. The 2C contingent gas resource stands at 435 petajoules of sales gas with 3.3 million barrels of associated condensate.

Hidden Valley Estate
A coastal residential land subdivision of approximately 41.05 hectares (103 acres) with Development Approval for 81 residential lots. The land is zoned 'Residential' R12:5 and offers a pleasant outlook due to an adjoining nature reserve.
2,088 residents of Morawa are employed, from a labour force of 2,159. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 63.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Morawa features a balanced labor pool that includes both white and blue collar jobs, with varied industry representation, an unemployment rate of only 3.3%, and 3.8% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of March 2026, 2,088 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.2% below Regional WA's rate of 3.5%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (63.2% compared to Regional WA's 65.4%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 16.6% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The primary employment fields for residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, followed by public administration & safety, and education & training. Specialization is particularly pronounced in agriculture, forestry & fishing, which commands a workforce share 4.0 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 5.1% of employment locally, compared with 11.9% regionally. Although local roles exist, comparisons between the Census working population and resident counts suggest a substantial proportion of workers commute to surrounding districts for employment. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch reveals that employment rose by 3.8% and the labour force grew by 3.5% over the 12 months to March 2026, which led to a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. Meanwhile, Regional WA saw a 0.1% drop in employment alongside a 0.3% increase in the labour force, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context for anticipated future demand in Morawa. These projections span five and ten year periods and have been overlaid with Morawa's local employment profile to project growth trends. The national outlook indicates a 6.6% expansion in employment over five years and a 13.7% expansion over ten years, though growth varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Morawa's current employment composition, the area is expected to see a 4.3% rise in employment over five years and a 10.2% rise over ten years, though this simple weighting extrapolation is for illustrative purposes only and does not incorporate localised population projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Morawa is 46, older than 84% of areas nationally. That is 1 year younger than at the 2021 Census. 17.0% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
The age distribution of Morawa leans older than Regional WA overall. Residents aged 65+ comprise 26.4% of the population as at August 2026 compared to 19.1% regionally, while young to middle aged adults (25 - 44) account for 22.0% versus 26.6% regionally. Consequently, the median age is estimated at 46, reducing from 47 at the 2021 Census, but remaining 6 years higher than the Regional WA Census median of 40 and above the national Census median of 38. Since that Census, the proportion of residents aged 45 - 64 has contracted from 29.3% to an estimated 25.7%, primarily driven by the 55 to 64 bracket falling from 17.0% to an estimated 14.7% while the 65 to 74 group rose from 15.1% to 16.6%, illustrating cohort aging rather than new arrivals.
By 2041, young to middle aged adults are projected to see the largest expansion, increasing by 192 (21%) to 1,106, whereas older age brackets are forecast to decline.

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 — 80 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,876 at the 2021 Census → 4,149 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.
