The Hotspots Report

Even with home building activity booming across all states and territories, there are regions across the country that are the focus of this activity. This Population and Residential Building Hotspots Report is a unique annual report which identifies Australia’s fastest growing suburbs and regional areas – ‘Hotspots’. Areas highlighted in the report enjoy strong population growth and high levels of residential building. For that reason, they indicate areas with high levels of building activity and therefore, employment for the building industry.

The home building boom in Australia has been driven by several factors which can also be observed in other developed economies. Since COVID-19, consumer preferences have shifted towards lower density housing as additional private space is more valuable. The ability to work from home means that a longer commute is also less costly. This shift to lower density is not just creating demand for new detached homes, but it also includes a lowering in the average number of people living in an apartment. This strong volume of new home construction will support wider economic growth across the economy into 2023.

For the purposes of this Report, a ‘Hotspot’ is a locality (technically a Statistical Area Level 2 or SA2 as defined by the Australian Geographical Statistical Geography Standard)* which satisfies two conditions:

1. The population growth rate in 2020/21 must be faster than the national growth rate (which was 0.2 per cent over the year to June 2021).

2. The value of residential building work approved must be in excess of $200 million for regions in New South Wales and Victoria; in excess of $100 million for Queensland and Western Australia; in excess of $50 million for the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia; in excess of $30 million in Tasmania; and in excess of $20 million in the Northern Territory.

In addition to discussion of the Hotspots based on activity during the 2020/21 financial year, the Report also provides Building Momentum tables which aim to shed light on which areas might be listed as Hotspots in next year’s Report. These are identified based on their performance regarding building approvals for the 2021/22 year to date – figures are available up to February 2022

Population data is derived from the ABS publications: Regional Population Growth, Australia, 2020/21 (catalogue number 3218.0); and Australian Demographic Statistics (catalogue number 3101.0).

* The reader should note that this Report has been compiled using the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ geographic classification system, the ‘Australian Geographical Statistical Geography Standard’ which was introduced in 2011. The revised geographic classifications were first introduced into the Population and Residential Building Hotspots report in the 2013 edition. As a consequence, the regions used in editions of the report prior to 2013 may cover different geographic areas to the regions used in the current edition despite having similar names.

More detail about the Australian Geographical Statistical Geography Standard, including details of the SA2 region boundaries is available from the ABS’s Statistical Geography website (http://www.abs.gov.au/geography).

P4 HIA Population and Residential Building Hotspots – 2022 Introduction

The New Home Building Backdrop

The number of homes that commenced construction surged from 172,920 in the 2019/20 financial year to 215,500 in 2020/21. This was the fifth strongest financial year on record and a record year for detached house construction. Demand for detached house construction surged following the announcement of HomeBuilder in June 2020. This was fuelled by low interest rates, a shift in consumer preferences for lower density housing and the ability to work from home. This boom is spread across all areas and is resulting in acute trades shortages across the country.

Following the end of HomeBuilder, demand for new housing has remained strong even without a return of population growth. Investors are looking through the haze of the pandemic with greater optimism. Affordability constraints are also pushing households, particularly first home buyers, back to units, townhouses and apartments. A return of overseas migrants, students and tourists, together with a recovery in nightlife and office attendance, will drive this demand further in 2022.

With this booming market comes a different set of challenges. Shortages of land, labour and materials have caused significant delays in construction, stretching out the typical timeframe to build a detached house to over 12 months.

This increased build timeframe has resulted in a record volume of detached houses under construction. Even when the number of starts begins to slow, it will take some time before the pipeline of work under construction is completed.

Population Growth in Australia

Australia’s population was estimated at 25,738,142 residents at the end of June 2021, an increase of 44,875 residents, or 0.2 per cent, on the year earlier*. This is the slowest rate of growth for more than 100 years and significantly lower than the growth rate of 1.3 per cent in 2019/20.

The designation of Hotspots in this report is based on population growth rates during the 2020/21 financial year. It is worth noting that population data is currently available up to September 2021. The latest data indicates that population growth is starting to slowly pick up with the annual growth rate increasing to 0.3 per cent.

While the growth in Australia’s population from natural increase is relatively steady year on year, the majority of Australia’s population growth over the past two decades has come from overseas migration. There is a strong link between population growth, economic performance and new home building. Larger populations increase demand for housing. The increased demand creates jobs and stimulates the economy. A stronger economy requires more workers and therefore, a larger population.

The number of overseas arrivals has been steadily increasing since October 2021 and in February 2022 reached its highest level since borders closed in March 2020. Despite this pick-up, the number of arrivals is still significantly below pre-COVID levels, and it will take some time before they return to ‘normal’.

Across the states and territories, Queensland had the strongest rate of population growth in the 2020/21 financial year at 0.9 per cent. This was followed by Western Australia with an increase of 0.7 per cent and New South Wales with 0.3 per cent. South Australia’s population grew by 0.2 per cent over the year while Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory both had a growth rate of 0.1 per cent. The Northern Territory and Victoria experienced a decline in their population in 2020/21, falling by 0.1 per cent and 0.7 per cent respectively.

* Population information relating to the SA2 regions is only available to the June 2021 quarter; therefore, HIA has elected to compare the SA2 population growth rates with the national growth rate to the June 2021 quarter. Population estimates at the state and national level are available up to the September 2021 quarter and these are also discussed in this report

P5 HIA Population and Residential Building Hotspots – 2022

Summary: Australia’s Top 20 Hotspots

The HIA Population and Residential Building Hotspots Report is a unique annual report which identifies Australia’s fastest growing suburbs and regional areas. The Report pinpoints the local ‘Hotspots’ around Australia, areas which enjoy a combination of strong population growth as well as high levels of residential building. They indicate regions with high levels of activity and therefore, employment in the building industry. There is a new number one in this year’s Hotspots Report. Denman Prospect in the ACT has made a comeback to take back the crown from last year’s number one Mickleham – Yuroke in Melbourne which is now fourth on the national list. Denman Prospect recorded $180.0 million in residential building approvals in the 2020/21 financial year and had a population growth rate of 80.6 per cent.

Second on the national Hotspots list is Taylor which is also located in the ACT. Development of Taylor began in 2017. The region recorded $161.8 million in residential building approvals in 2020/21 and had a population growth rate of 71.3 per cent.

Ranked third on the national list, Rockbank – Mount Cottrell recorded $707.7 million in residential building approvals and had a population growth rate of 34.3 per cent in 2020/21.

Of the top 20 Hotspots nationally, eight are located in Victoria, five each in New South Wales and Queensland and the remaining two in the Australian Capital Territory. Victoria has typically dominated the national hotspots list with more than half of the top 20 regions. The loss of overseas migration combined with the mass exodus from Melbourne since the onset of COVID-19 has seen Victoria start to lose its stranglehold.

There were nine new additions to the national building and population Hotspots list in 2020/21: Denman Prospect and Taylor in the ACT, Ripley, Pallara – Willawong, Pimpama, Chambers Flat – Logan Reserve and Landsborough in Queensland’s South-East corner; and Whittlesea and Delacombe in Victoria

Australia’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots identified in this year’s report are based on population growth and residential building approvals during the 2020/21 financial year. This is the latest for which population estimates are available at a localised level. Data on building approvals are available on a monthly basis to December 2021 and can provide an indication of the areas that are likely to feature as Hotspots in next year’s report.

The table below lists 23 existing Hotspots across Australia which are likely to qualify as Hotspots again in next year’s report. As with the national Top 20 Hotspots list, the Momentum Shortlist is dominated by Victoria with 12 spots. New South Wales and Queensland each have four of the spots, Western Australia has two and the ACT has one.

To make this list an area must have over $200 million in residential building work approved over the year to 2021 calendar year and have increased by at least 10 per cent compared to the previous year. The areas listed below are ranked according to their respective growth rates

**SA2 areas which exceeded the value of $200 million residential building approved over 2021 and where growth was 10 per cent or more

As well as helping to identify areas that are likely to remain Hotspots, the latest building approvals data can also be used to identify areas which are likely ‘new’ Hotspots in next year’s report. The conditions for selecting such places is based on the same criteria as above – at least $200 million worth of residential building approvals over the 2021 calendar year to and growth of 10 per cent or more compared to the previous year.

The table below lists those areas that have a strong likelihood of becoming Hotspots next year. There are eight in total: three each in Queensland and New South Wales, and one each in Victoria and the ACT. In total, this means that $1.9 billion worth of residential building work was approved in these areas over the year to February 2021. This is an average of $240.2 million in each area.

New South Wales

At a Glance

A total of five areas qualified as Hotspots in NSW during the 2020/21 financial year. This is down from seven in the previous year.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the rate of population growth in NSW was 0.3 per cent which ranks the state in third compared to the other states and territories. This has slowed from the 1.0 per cent growth rate in 2019/20.

• NSW’s population rose by only 21,627 during the 2020/21 financial year. The only source of growth for the state was natural increase (+44,389) which increased by 4.0 per cent compared to the previous year.

• Net overseas migration (-5,940) and interstate migration (-16,822) detracted from the state’s pop

New South Wales Population Growth by Component - Moving Annual Total

The NSW Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which are available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for NSW as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021. NSW’s rate of population growth rate stayed at 0.3 per cent over the year to September 2021, with the population growing by 24,214 people. In the September 2021 quarter, NSW’s population fell by 1,862 people due to a sudden fall in net interstate migration. This is likely a result of the lockdowns occurring throughout the state at the time

New South Wales’ Fastest Growing Areas

Based on the performance of residential building approvals and population growth in 2020/21, five Hotspots have been identified in NSW, down from seven in the previous financial year. These are ranked by their population growth rates.

All the regions on the list are located in Sydney with Riverstone – Marsden Park remaining as this year’s number one Hotspot in NSW. Riverstone – Marsden park had $1.4 billion in residential building approvals during the 2020/21 financial year and had an annual population growth rate of 18.1 per cent. According to a developer in the area, Castle Group, the combination of affordability, existing and planned infrastructure and state-leading population growth will support Riverstone’s continued gentrification.

Second on the NSW Building and Population Hotspots list is Austral – Greendale in Sydney’s South West area. Austral – Greendale is a new entrant on this year’s list and had $255.3 million in residential building approvals in 2020/21 and a population growth rate of 14.6 per cent.

New South Wales Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots for NSW identified in the section above are based upon population growth and residential building approved during the 2020/21 financial year. Looking at building approvals figures since then can provide us with a glimpse as to the areas of NSW that might qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report. In order to be considered likely to feature as a Hotspot next year, the total value of residential building approved over the 2021 calendar year must exceed $200 million and have grown by 10 per cent or more compared to the previous year. The Building Momentum Shortlist summarises the 2020/21 NSW Hotspots which are likely to qualify again in next year’s report.

Based on these criteria, all areas on this year’s Hotspots list, except for Ingleburn – Denham Court, might qualify for the 2021/22 Hotspots list. Ultimately, whether they make the cut will require their population growth rate to exceed the national average over the 2020/21 financial year

Victoria

At a Glance

During the 2020/21 financial year, a total of 19 areas qualified as Hotspots in Victoria. This is up on the 16 Hotspots identified during the previous year.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the population in Victoria declined by 0.7 per cent, a significant change from 1.5 per cent growth in the previous year.

• Victoria’s population fell by 44,792 over the 12 months with overseas migration (-56,134) accounting for the majority of the decline. This is a vast turnaround on the increase of 60,597 the previous year.

• Natural increase (+29,689) was the only positive contribution to population growth.

• There was also a net outflow of 18,347 persons from Victoria to other parts of Australia during 2020/21

The Victorian Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which are available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for Victoria as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021. Victoria’s rate of population growth improved slightly to -0.5 per cent over the year to September 2021, declining by 0.1 per cent in the final quarter. This is a decline of 6,004 persons in the September 2021 quarter

Victoria’s Fastest Growing Areas

A total of 19 Hotspots have been identified in Victoria based on the performance of residential building approvals and population growth during the 2020/21 financial year, up from 16 the previous year. While Victoria’s population is declining there are many areas experiencing strong levels of population growth. The majority of this year’s Hotspots are located on the edges of Melbourne as the city expands. Ballarat and Geelong each have two areas on the list and one is in Latrobe – Gippsland.

Rockbank – Mount Cottrell has overtaken Mickleham – Yuroke as the state’s number one Hotspot. The area had $707.7 million in residential building approvals during the 2020/21 financial year and had a population growth rate of 34.3 per cent.

Mickleham – Yuroke is Victoria’s second Hotspot. The area had residential building approvals valued at $492.3 million and a population growth rate of 27.7 per cent in 2020/21.

Wollert has remained in third position with $334.3 million in residential building approvals and a population growth rate of 17.8 per cent. There are plans for a future train line for Wollert which will better connect the area to the rest of Melbourne.

Whittlesea, Delacombe, Alfredton, Wallan, Hillside, Ocean Grove – Barwon Heads and Wonthaggi –Inverloch are all new additions to the Victorian Hotspots list in 2020/21.

Ocean Grove – Barwon Heads was the filming location for the popular Australian television series SeaChange. Since the onset of COVID-19, the average number of monthly building approvals in Ocean Grove – Barwon Heads has increased by 77.3 per cent compared to the average of 2011 to 2019.

In terms of approvals for alterations and additions during 2020/21, Point Nepean was the strongest area in Victoria with $70.7 million worth of renovations activity, followed by Albert Park ($54.3 million) and Malvern –Glen Iris ($52.5 million)

Victoria’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots for Victoria identified in the section above are based upon population growth and residential building approved during the 2020/21 financial year. Looking at building approvals figures since then can provide us with a glimpse as to the areas of Victoria that might qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report. In order to be considered likely to feature as a Hotspot next year, the total value of residential building approved over the 2021 calendar year must exceed $150 million (this is different to what was required to be a Hotspot last year) and must have grown by 10 per cent or more compared to the previous year. The Building Momentum Shortlist summarises the 2020/21 Victorian Hotspots which are likely to qualify again in next year’s report. In total there are 12 regions on the Building Momentum Shortlist.

The table below lists the areas of Victoria which did not qualify as Hotspots in this year’s report but have a good chance of doing so next year on the basis of their performance in the most recent building approvals data. There are a total of five areas which fall into this category compared with ten last year. Whether they ultimately make the cut will require their rate of population growth to exceed the national average over the 2021/22 financial year.

Queensland

At a Glance

During the 2020/21 financial year, a total of 24 areas qualified as Hotspots in Queensland, an increase on the 22 Hotspots identified during the previous year.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the rate of population growth was 0.9 per cent in Queensland, which was the strongest in the country.

• Queensland’s population rose by 45,988 over the 12 months despite overseas migration (-14,543) detracting from growth.

• There was a net inflow of 31,179 persons to Queensland from other parts of Australia during 2020/21. This is the strongest inflow into Queensland since 2005.

• Natural increase (+29,352) was 4.7 per cent higher than the previous year

The Queensland Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which are available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for Queensland as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021 Queensland’s rate of population growth has increased to 1.1 per cent over the year to September 2021, with a total increase of 57,764 people occurring

Queensland’s Fastest Growing Areas

There were 24 Hotspots identified in Queensland based on the performance of residential building approvals and population growth during the 2020/21 financial year. Unlike other states, the Hotspots in Queensland are more geographically dispersed, although they are still based in the south-east corner of the state except for Deeragun in Townsville.

Ripley in Ipswich has returned to the number one spot on Queensland’s Hotspots list after not making the list in 2019/20. Ripley was declared a Priority Development Area in 2010 which means it was identified for accelerated growth. Ripley had $232.9 million in residential development approvals in 2020/21 and had a population growth rate of 19.4 per cent.

Queensland’s second Hotspot is Pallara – Willawong in Brisbane, which is another new entrant on the Hotspots list. Pallara – Willawong had $205.6 million in residential building approvals in 2020/21 and a population growth rate of 18.6 per cent.

Pimpama on the Gold Coast is third on Queensland’s Hotspots list with $184.1 million in approvals and a population growth rate of 12.6 per cent.

Mermaid Beach – Broadbeach had the largest value of residential approvals in 2020/21 of the Queensland Hotspots list. Most of these approvals are for multi-unit developments as the area increases its housing density.

With respect to the renovations market, Queensland’s most active area during 2019/20 was Springfield Lakes where $133.9 million in approvals for alterations and additions occurred during the year. This was followed by Yeppoon with $39.7 million in approvals and Rosewood with $38.8 million

Full details for approved alterations and additions activity in Queensland by area appears from page 36.

Queensland’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots for Queensland identified in the section above are based upon population growth and residential building approved during the 2020/21 financial year. Looking at building approvals figures since then can provide us with a glimpse as to the areas of Queensland that might qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report. An area is deemed likely to feature as a Hotspot next year if the total value of residential building approved over the 2021 calendar year exceeds $100 million and this has grown by 10 per cent or more compared with the previous year.

The table below summarises the 2020/21 Queensland Hotspots which are likely to qualify again in next year’s report. There are 14 in total, up from three last year

Queensland: Areas likely to remain Hotspots (2021 performance)

The table below lists the areas of Queensland which do not qualify as Hotspots in this year’s report but have a good chance of doing so next year on the basis of their performance in the most recent building approvals data. There are 12 areas in this category compared with 13 last year. Whether they ultimately make the cut will require their rate of population growth to exceed the national average over the 2021/22 financial year

South Australia

At a Glance

During the 2020/21 financial year, a total of 11 areas qualified as Hotspots in South Australia. This is down from 24 Hotspots identified during the previous year, however, the criteria to qualify increased from in excess of $25 million in building approvals to in excess of $50 million.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the rate of population growth was 0.2 per cent in South Australia, consistent with the national growth rate.

• South Australia’s population rose by 3,119 over the 12 months. Natural increase (+5,540) was the most significant source of population growth.

• Net interstate migration (+895) positively contributed to population growth for the first time since 1992.

• Net overseas migration (-3,316) detracted from population growth. This is the first time it has been negative since this data set began in 1981

South Australia's Population Growth by Component - Moving Annual Total

The South Australian Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which are available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for South Australia as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021. South Australia’s rate of population growth has slowed to 0.1 per cent over the year to September 2021, with a total increase of 2,551 people

South Australia’s Fastest Growing Areas

A total of 11 Hotspots have been identified in South Australia based on the performance of residential building approvals and population growth during the 2020/21 financial year. Most of these are located in the Greater Adelaide region with Victor Harbour and Goolwa – Port Elliot, in South Australia’s South East, the exceptions.

It is important to note that the qualification threshold for a Hotspot in South Australia increased from $25 million worth of residential building approvals in 2019/20 to $50 million in 2020/21.

Munno Para West – Angle Vale has remained as South Australia’s number one Hotspot for the fifth year in a row with population growth of 7.0 per cent and $188.4 million in residential building approvals.

Moving up from fourth place last year, Virginia – Waterloo Corner is second on the list. This area had $53.6 million in building approvals and a population growth rate of 6.2 per cent.

Mount Barker also fell from second place last year to third place this year, with $180.3 million in building approvals and a population growth rate of 4.3 per cent.

South Australia’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots for South Australia identified in the section above are based upon population growth and residential building approved during the 2020/21 financial year. Looking at building approvals figures since then can provide us with a glimpse as to the areas of South Australia that might qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report. An area is deemed likely to feature as a Hotspot next year if the total value of residential building approved over the 2021 calendar year exceeds $50 million and this has grown by 10 per cent or more compared with the previous year. The table below summarises the 2020/21 South Australian Hotspots which are likely to qualify again in next year’s report. There are nine in total – down from ten last year

**SA2 areas in SA which exceeded the value of $50 million residential building approved over the 2021 and where growth was 10 per cent or more

The table below lists the areas of South Australia which do not qualify as Hotspots in this year’s report but have a good chance of doing so next year on the basis of their performance in the most recent building approvals data. There are three areas which fall into this category – up from two last year. Whether they ultimately make the cut will require their rate of population growth to exceed the national average over the 2021/22 financial year

Western Australia

At a Glance

During the 2020/21 financial year, a total of 12 areas qualified as Hotspots in Western Australia, up from nine Hotspots in the previous year.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the rate of population growth was 0.7 per cent. This was the second strongest rate of population growth, behind Queensland.

• Western Australia’s population rose by 18,045 over the 12 months. The largest contributor to population growth was natural increase (+18,470).

• There was a net inflow of 5,351 persons to Western Australia from other parts of Australia during 2020/21. This is the first time there has been a net inflow into Western Australia since 2013.

• Net overseas migration (-5,776) detracted from population growth

The Western Australia Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which are available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for Western Australia as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021. Western Australia’s rate of population growth remained at 0.7 per cent over the year to September 2021, with a total increase of 17,794 occurring.

Western Australia’s Fastest Growing Areas

A total of 12 Hotspots have been identified in Western Australia based on the performance of residential building approvals and population growth during the 2020/21 financial year. It is important to note that the qualification threshold for a Hotspot in Western Australia increased from $50 million worth of residential building approvals in 2019/20 to $100 million in 2020/21.

Three of the Hotspots are located outside of Perth, in Bunbury and Mandurah.

New entrant, Casuarina – Wandi is ranked first with $119.2 million in residential building approvals and a population growth rate of 8.4 per cent. The majority of the land in Casuarina is designated as ‘special rural’ which allows owners to engage in special types of rural pursuits without needing a very large property or working farm. This type of zoning also recognises the environmental characteristics of the landscape and ensures that these are not compromised by development and use of the land.

Alkimos – Eglinton has fallen from first in last year’s Report to second. This area had $207.4 million in residential building approvals and an annual population growth rate of 8.2 per cent.

Forresdale – Harrisdale – Piara Waters follows in third place with a population growth rate of 5.2 per cent and $214.6 million in building approvals.

Western Australia’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots for Western Australia identified in the section above are based upon population growth and residential building approved during the 2020/21 financial year. Looking at building approvals figures since then can provide us with a glimpse as to the areas of Western Australia that might qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report. An area is deemed likely to feature as a Hotspot next year if the total value of residential building approved over the 2021 calendar year exceeds $100 million and this has grown by 10 per cent or more compared with the previous year. The table below summarises the 2020/21 Western Australia Hotspots which are likely to qualify again in next year’s report. There are ten areas on the list for Western Australia this year, up from seven the previous year

Tasmania

At a Glance

During the 2020/21 financial year, eight areas qualified as Hotspots in Tasmania, compared with 12 in last year’s report. It is important to note that the qualification threshold for a Hotspot in Tasmania increased from $15 million worth of residential building approvals in 2019/20 to $30 million in 2020/21.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the rate of population growth in Tasmania was 0.1 per cent.

• Tasmania’s population rose by 779 over the 12 months with natural increase (+1,338) accounting for the bulk of the increase.

• Net interstate migration (-109) was negative for the first time since 2015. Net overseas migration (450) also detracted from population growth

The Tasmanian Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which are available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for Tasmania as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021. Tasmania’s rate of population rate has slowed to 0.03 per cent over the year to September 2021, which was a total increase 189 residents

Tasmania’s Fastest Growing Areas

There were eight Hotspots identified in Tasmania based on the performance of residential building approvals and population growth during the 2020/21 financial year. Of these, five are located in Hobart, while the South East, West and North West, and Launceston and North East areas all have one.

Rokeby in Hobart has remained in the number one Hotspot in Tasmania with $64.6 million in residential building approvals and a population growth rate of 4.5 per cent. Brighton – Pontville has also remained in second place with the population growth of 4.1 per cent and $30.9 million in building approvals recorded. Moving up from seventh in last year’s Hotspots list, Port Sorell is in third with $38.5 million in building approvals and a population growth rate of 2.0 per cent.

There are two new entrants on the list, Howrah – Tranmere and Kingston – Huntingfield. Howrah – Tranmere is adjacent to the number one Hotspot, Rokeby. The local council has designated the shared peninsula between Rokeby and Tranmere as the main future urban growth area. The land has fragmented ownership and plans to re-zone the land to residential are in the consultation phase.

Tasmania’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots for Tasmania identified in the section above are based upon population growth and residential building approved during the 2020/21 financial year. Looking at building approvals figures since then can provide us with a glimpse as to the areas of Tasmania that might qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report. An area is deemed likely to feature as a Hotspot next year if the total value of residential building approved over the 2021 calendar year exceeds $30 million and this has grown by 10 per cent or more compared with the previous year. The table below summarises details for the three 2020/21 Tasmanian Hotspots which are likely to qualify again in next year’s report. This is down from nine areas the year before, however the criteria to qualify has changed from $15 million to $30 million

Tasmania Areas likely to remain Hotspots (2021 performance)

The table below lists the areas of Tasmania which do not qualify as Hotspots in this year’s report but have a good chance of doing so next year on the basis of their performance in the most recent building approvals data. There are two areas potentially joining the Hotspots list based on their performance over 2021. Whether they ultimately make the cut will require their rate of population growth to exceed the national average over the 2021/22 financial year.

One area to watch out for that is not on the list is Bridgewater – Gagebrook. There is a $786 million infrastructure project to build a new bridge which is expected to start construction this year. Housing will be required both during construction and post-construction in this area and the local council is preparing to release more land

Northern Territory

At a Glance

During the 2020/21 financial year, four areas qualified as Hotspots in the Northern Territory, up from three in last year’s report. It is important to note that there was no qualification threshold for the value of residential building approvals to be a Hotspot in the Northern Territory in 2019/20. This year the threshold has increased to $20 million worth of residential building approvals.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the Northern Territory’s population declined by 0.1 per cent or 326 persons.

• Natural increase (+2,645) was the main driver of population growth while net interstate migration subtracted 2,504 people from the population over this period.

• There was a net loss of 467 persons to overseas migration

Northern Territory's Population Growth by Component - Moving Annual Total

The Northern Territory Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which are available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for the Northern Territory as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021. The annual rate of population growth has slowed to -0.2 per cent, with the population estimated to have fallen by 585 residents over the 12 months to September 2021.

Northern Territory’s Fastest Growing Areas

Four Hotspots have been identified in the Northern Territory during the 2020/21 financial year.

Palmerston – South is the Northern Territory’s biggest Hotspot for the 10th year in a row. During the 2020/21 financial year, it had $75.7 million in residential building approvals and a population growth rate of 10.2 per cent.

The Darwin suburb of Lyons is second on the list again this year with a population growth rate of 3.0 per cent and $26.6 million in residential building approvals.

Humpty Doo and Berrimah are new additions to the list. Humpty Doo had $24.6 million in residential building approvals and a population growth rate of 1.0 per cent. The majority of these projects are funded by the NT Government to help with the region’s housing shortage and overcrowding.

In terms of renovations activity, Gulf is the busiest market in the Northern Territory with $7.9 million worth of approvals for alterations and additions during the 2020/21 financial year. The second largest renovations market was Humpty Doo with $7.5 million in approvals, followed by Weddell with $4.6 million

Northern Territory’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The Hotspots for the Northern Territory identified in the section above are based upon population growth and residential building approved during the 2020/21 financial year. Looking at building approvals figures since then can provide us with a glimpse as to the areas of the Northern Territory that might qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report. An area is deemed likely to feature as a Hotspot next year if the total value of residential building approved over the 2021 calendar year exceeds $20 million and has grown by 10 per cent or more compared with the previous year. The table below summarises details for the two 2020/21 Hotspots which are likely to qualify again in next year’s report

Australian Capital Territory

At a Glance

During the 2020/21 financial year, eight areas qualified as Hotspots in the ACT, down from nine Hotspots in last year’s report.

• During the 2020/21 financial year, the rate of population growth in the ACT was 0.1 per cent. This has slowed from the 1.2 per cent growth rate the previous year.

• The ACT’s population rose by only 398 persons over the 12 months, with natural increase (+3,318) accounting for the majority of the increase.

• There was a net inflow of 357 persons to the ACT from other parts of Australia during 2020/21, up from a net loss of 650 persons the previous year.

• Net overseas migration (-3,277) detracted from population growth

ACT's Population Growth by Component - Moving Annual Total

The ACT Hotspots are identified using local-level population data, which is available up to the end of June 2021. The ABS has produced population estimates for the ACT as a whole as it stood at the end of September 2021. The ACT’s rate of population growth has fallen to -0.1 per cent over the year to September 2021, with the population declining by 308 persons

ACT’s Fastest Growing Areas

A total of eight Hotspots have been identified in the ACT based on the performance of residential building approvals and population growth during the 2020/21 financial year. The Hotspots in the ACT are a mix of infill development in existing suburbs and greenfield development in new suburbs.

The West Belconnen area is the ACT’s number one Hotspot for the second year in a row with $80.7 million in building approvals and a population growth rate of 275.7 per cent. This area includes the new community of Ginninderry, which includes the suburbs of Strathnairn and Macnamara. In the next edition of this Report, this area will be split into three new areas due to the ABS changes to SA2 areas to reflect the strong population growth.

Second on the list is Denman Prospect in Molonglo with $180.0 million in residential building approvals and a population growth rate of 80.6 per cent. Third place goes to Taylor in Gungahlin where the population increased by 71.3 per cent and $161.8 million worth of residential approvals were recorded.

Coombs, Wright and Campbell are all new additions to the year’s Hotspots list. Coombs and Wright are new estates within the Molonglo area, while Campbell is infill development near Canberra’s CBD.

In the home renovations market, Kingston was once again the number one market, with $22.4 million in approvals for alterations and additions during 2020/21. This was followed by Griffith with $6.9 million and Kambah with $5.8 million.

Australian Capital Territory’s Building Momentum Shortlist

The table below lists the areas of the ACT which are on track to qualify as Hotspots in next year’s report based on the value of residential building approvals recorded over the 2021 calendar year. Areas which recorded over $500 million in approvals over this period as well as growth of over 10 per cent compared to the previous year appear on the list. There are four areas likely to be on the list again next year depending on how they perform with respect to population growth

The table below lists the areas of the ACT which do not qualify as Hotspots in this year’s report but have a good chance of doing so next year on the basis of their performance in the most recent building approvals data. There are two areas potentially joining the Hotspots list based on their performance over the 2021 calendar year. Whether they ultimately make the cut will require their rate of population growth to exceed the national average over the 2021/22 financial year.

Largest and Fastest Growing Areas

The table below lists the ten areas of Australia which experienced the largest absolute increase in population during the 2020/21 financial year. Three states appear on the list. Victoria has five entries; New South Wales has four and Queensland has one.

Riverstone – Marsden Park saw the largest increase in population of any locality in Australia with 7,360 additional residents added during 2020/21. Cobbitty – Leppington followed in second with a population increase of 5,352, followed by Cranbourne East which received an additional 5,027 residents

Largest Increase 2020/21

In terms of the percentage change in population, the table below summarises the national top ten. The ACT has four of the top five entries on the list. Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland all have two entries each. West Belconnen in Canberra is number one with a growth rate of 276 per cent. This is followed by Denman Prospect (81 per cent) and Taylor (71per cent) in the ACT, and Banksmeadow (70 per cent) in New South Wales. Caution must be applied in interpreting these results as newly-created suburbs can generate remarkably high rates of population growth when measured in percentage terms due to the very low numbers of people there at the beginning.

Fastest Increase 2020/21

* This area represents a new residential development. Therefore, population growth is very strong from a low base.
