Data to 17 Jul 2026Districts view
The level of residential development activity in Clarendon Vale is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by Districts
Detail
Based on Districts assessments of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical area statistics, the suburb of Clarendon Vale has averaged about 5 new home approvals annually, with approximately 26 residential properties approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 2 so far during FY-26. Given that an average of 1.4 individuals per year moved to the area for every home constructed during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand and supply appear balanced, leading to steady conditions in the market, though recent statistics indicate this has shifted to -30.5 individuals per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, pointing to a better balance between supply and demand. Newly built homes carry an average construction cost of $393,000, which demonstrates that developers are focusing on the higher-end market segment with premium properties. There has also been $542,000 in commercial approvals during the current financial year, which points to a predominantly residential orientation.
In comparison to Greater Hobart, the suburb of Clarendon Vale displays about half the volume of residential building approvals per resident, placing it in the 10th percentile of all localities evaluated nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains interest in established properties. This rate is also below the national average, indicating a mature market and highlighting potential planning constraints. Furthermore, recent construction approvals consist entirely of detached houses, preserving the established low density feel of the area with a focus on family properties that appeal to those wanting space. The estimated ratio of 1614 people in the locality for each dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of development in the area.
Future projections indicate that the suburb of Clarendon Vale will add 300 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent Districts quarterly estimate). If current building rates persist, the addition of new housing may fall short of population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support stronger growth in property values.

Clarendon Vale currently has no childcare facilities operating within its bounds. With projected population growth of 18.3% between now and 2041, and 10.1% in the under 5 age group in particular. As well as this projected growth, other factors worth noting are lower female labour force participation of 40.9%, as well as lower quartile employment and income performance.
In assessing child care markets local school supply is a particularly important factor, given school-run convenience, and enrolment vs child care place analysis can provide useful insight into capacity both for parents seeking child care options and child care operators assessing opportunities in an area. The catchment sees a level of school enrolment relative to population of 8.1 per 100 residents with 132 enrolments across primary and secondary institutions. A lower-than-typical rate which suggests pressure might be taken off local services somewhat by school hubs in nearby areas. Proximity analysis saw distances of local residents to their nearest child care centre being longer than typical nationally. Another finding worth noting is the low level of commercial activity in the area and assessment of local working populations which suggest many of the local population commute elsewhere for work with nearby services potentially taking some pressure off local child care centres.
4 school catchments intersect Clarendon Vale (note; school catchment data provided for public schools only), in which a combined 2,043 children aged under 5 reside, served by 748 LDC and preschool places. The overall demand-to-supply ratio across these catchments is 2.7 children per place, with significant variance in this ratio. Meanwhile, the discrepancy in this ratio between Clarendon Vale and the intersecting school catchments highlights the need for a catchment based approach for specific site assessments.
