The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of housing in Greater Western Sydney (GWS), one of the fastest growing regions in New South Wales (NSW). The paper explores 2016 Census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) as well as other datasets where relevant. The topics explored include dwelling type and density, dwelling supply and forecasts, housing tenure, social housing and rental assistance, dwelling occupants, housing costs and stress. Summary of key findings The main findings of this topic paper are: • Dwelling type: In 2016, there were approximately 798,573 dwellings in Greater Western Sydney (GWS). 94.1% of dwellings were occupied private dwellings, 5.8% were unoccupied private dwellings and 0.1% were considered non-private dwellings. • Dwelling structure and density: In 2016, 70.3% of dwellings in GWS were low density, 13.5% were medium density and 15.3% were high density. 0.5% of dwellings were classified as ‘other dwellings’. GWS had a higher proportion of low density dwellings and a lower proportion of higher density dwellings than Greater Sydney and NSW. • Population density: In 2016, population density in GWS ranged from 20.0 persons per square kilometre in Wollondilly to 3,337.9 persons per square kilometre in Canterbury-Bankstown. The GWS LGAs with population densities more than 1,000 persons per square kilometre were Blacktown (1,489.2), Fairfield (2,053.7), Parramatta (2,902.0), Cumberland (3,234.7) and Canterbury-Bankstown (3,337.9). • Residential stability: In 2016, the residents of GWS had slightly higher levels of residential stability than Greater Sydney, Rest of Sydney and NSW. In 2016, 51.8% of the population had the same address five years previously compared to Greater Sydney (48.8%), Rest of Sydney (46.2%) and NSW (49.8%). • Dwelling supply: The number of total approved dwellings per financial year in GWS increased from 15,768 dwellings in 2012-13 to 32,210 dwellings in 2017-18, while the number of total completed dwellings per financial year in GWS increased from 11,695 dwellings in 2012-13 to 23,620 dwellings in 2017-18. Roughly half of the dwelling approvals and completions between 2012-13 and 2017-18 in Greater Sydney were in GWS. • Dwelling forecasts: Planning forecasts predict that GWS will gain 112,400 new dwellings in the next five years (2017/18 – 2021/22). This equates to 57.1% of Greater Sydney’s predicted housing growth. • Tenure type: In 2016, 26.2% of dwellings in GWS were owned outright, 35.3% were owned with a mortgage and 30.8% were rented. • Social housing: Most social housing allocation zones in GWS as at 30 June 2017 had waiting times for 3 bedroom properties of 10 years and over, while other 4 allocation zones such as Mount Druitt, Blue Mountains, Richmond/Windsor, Camden, Campbelltown and Wingecarribee reported waiting times of 5 to 10 years. The allocation zone in GWS with the lowest social housing waiting time was Wollondilly (2 to 5 years). • Rental assistance: There were an estimated 128,673 recipients of Commonwealth Rental Assistance (CRA) in GWS in June 2018. The LGAs with the highest number of CRA recipients in June 2018 were Canterbury-Bankstown (21,656 recipients), Fairfield (19,468), Blacktown (17,190) and Liverpool (13,010). • Family type: There were 751,751 households in GWS in 2016, with the dominant family type being couple families with children (41.6% of households), followed by couple families without children (23.0%). 12.8% of households were classified

One complication is that local government areas changed between the 2011 and 2016 Censuses, and while we have time series data available for the current boundaries, these data sets do not include all variables. So, it will take some time for us to work through what’s there, what’s missing, and how to compare across Censuses for those LGAs with changed boundaries.

As in past censuses, the most common family composition was still that of a Couple Family with Children. However, they are not the only type of family or household and this paper attempts to shine a light on not only the Couple Families with Children but Same-sex Families, Lone Person Households, Group Households, Grandparent Families, high and low- income families, small families and large families.

  • The Great Property Crime Drop: a Regional Analysis
    NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research Bureau Brief Issue paper no. 88 July 2013 The Great Property Crime Drop: A regional analysis Don Weatherburn and Jessie Holmes Aim: To describe and discuss regional variation between parts of NSW in the rate at which theft and robbery offences have fallen. Method: Percentage changes in rates of offending in robbery and various categories of theft were calculated for the period 2000 to 2012. Changes in the extent to which rates of crime across areas have become more similar were quantified by comparing the standard deviation in crime rates across areas in 2000 to the standard deviation in crime rates in 2012. Product moment calculations were used to measure (a) the extent to which areas with high crime rates in 2000 also had high crime rates in 2012 and (b) the extent to which areas with the highest crime rates in 2000 had the largest falls in crime in 2012. Results: The fall in property crime and robbery across NSW between 2000 and 2012 has been very uneven; being much larger in Sydney and other urban areas than in rural areas. The fall in theft offence rates ranges from 62 per cent in the Sydney Statistical Division (SD) to 5.9 per cent in the Northern SD. Similarly, the fall in robbery rates ranges from 70.8 per cent in the Sydney SD to 21.9 per cent in the Northern SD. In some areas some offences actually increased. The Murray, Northern, Murrumbidgee, North Western, Hunter and Central West SDs, for example, all experienced an increase in steal from a retail store.

Locked Bag 1797 Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia Phone: 61 2 98524219 Fax: 61 2 98524185 Email: [email protected] Key Words: Agency practice, real estate agents, house prices, Sydney residential property, residential house sales. Abstract Large cities provide a broad range of residential property types, as well as a range of socio-economic locations. This results in a significant variation in residential property prices across both the city itself and the individual suburbs. The only constant across such a diverse range of residential property is the need for the majority of residential property owners to employ the services of a real estate agent to sell their property or to purchase a residential property. This paper will analyse the Sydney residential property market over the period 1994 to 2002 to determine the change in real estate offices numbers over the period, the profitability of real estate agency offices based on the residential house price performance of houses and units in these specific locations and the extent of changing residential house prices on agency profitability.
