Districts assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Giralang, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally
Detail
Based on Districts' evaluation of ABS building permit data distributed from statistical divisions, the suburb of Giralang has averaged roughly 14 approved residential dwellings annually, totaling an estimated 74 building approvals over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 4 during the current FY-26. With an average of 1.6 new residents per year added for each approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the relationship between housing supply and demand appears balanced, supporting a steady market, though recent records indicate this has surged to 16.1 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing to heightened demand and scarcer availability. New residential constructions carry an average building cost of $386,000, illustrating a developer focus on high-end, premium projects. Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $270,000 have been logged during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality.
In comparison to the wider Australian Capital Territory, the suburb of Giralang exhibits roughly three-quarters the volume of new home approvals per capita, placing it in the 19th percentile of all examined locations nationwide, which indicates fewer options for buyers while driving demand for existing properties. Recent construction approvals comprise 19.0% detached houses and 81.0% multi-unit developments. This preference for higher-density housing offers more affordable entry points, appealing to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers alike. This represents a notable departure from the established housing stock (which currently consists of 94.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant development land and responding to changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. The suburb of Giralang has approximately 850 people for every single residential approval, highlighting the mature state of the local market.
Given that demographic forecasts indicate either stable or contracting population numbers, the suburb of Giralang is likely to experience eased demand pressure on housing, which should benefit prospective buyers.
Districts' assessment of the Unincorporated ACT LGA register has identified 1 substantial childcare development application lodged in Giralang over the past 5 years.

Giralang contains 1 Long Day Care centre (68 places), 1 preschool/kindergarten facility (44 places) and 1 OSHC facility (66 places), with overall provision relative to the local child population aligning with national benchmarks, though below the Australian Capital Territory average, with certain cohorts and service types experiencing tighter provision. Combined service provision across long day care and preschool/kindergarten services, and the approximate 204 children in the cohort, sees a ratio of children per place of 1.8 - placing the area around the national average for supply per child. Looking at long day care specifically against the under-5 population, the ratio is 2.9 children per place. Further breakdowns by age, to help in identifying the most in-need services, show moderate LDC provision across the infant and toddler cohort (<3yo) with 68 places across 1 facility serving 118 children while preschool supply is strong with 1 facility providing 44 places (1.8 children aged 3-4 per place compared to the Australian Capital Territory average of 2.5). Projected population decline of 19.6% in the under 5 age group between now and 2041 suggests a reduction in demand for childcare services. Other factors relevant to demand worth noting are high female labour force participation of 63.4%, as well as strong 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 8.0 per 100 residents with 276 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. As expected, the level of school places per child care place (LDC+PSK) is also lower than average. Rather unsurprisingly, out of school hours child care - serving school age children - was found to be much more abundant than other service types in the area. Fee analysis shows fees are notably lower than national averages. 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.
10 school catchments intersect Giralang (note; school catchment data provided for public schools only), in which a combined 11,520 children aged under 5 reside, served by 17,839 LDC and preschool places. The overall demand-to-supply ratio across these catchments is 0.6 children per place, with limited variance in this ratio. Meanwhile, the discrepancy in this ratio between Giralang and the intersecting school catchments highlights the need for a catchment based approach for specific site assessments.
