The level of residential development activity in St Andrews is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by Districts
Detail
According to Districts analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from statistical district data, the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) averages approximately 2 residential approvals annually. An estimated 13 dwellings were approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with no new approvals recorded in FY-26. Because the population contracted during the preceding period, this new supply has likely matched local demand, providing options for purchasers. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $1.2 million were registered during the current financial year, representing a low level of commercial development.
In comparison to Greater Sydney, the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) exhibits extremely low building volumes, registering 93.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited volume of new construction typically supports demand and valuations for existing properties, even though building activity has risen in recent times. The level also falls below the national average, reflecting the established state of the local market and pointing to possible planning constraints. Of the new projects, 50.0% are standalone houses, while 50.0% comprise townhouses or apartments. This trend toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. This is a clear departure from the historical housing stock, which currently stands at 95.0% standalone houses, signaling a lack of vacant land alongside shifting lifestyle preferences and a demand for more diverse, affordable housing. With approximately 1231 people per approved dwelling, the local market is highly established.
Demographic projections indicate that the suburb of St Andrews (NSW) is set to add 400 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by Districts. If construction volumes do not rise above current rates, housing supply could fall behind demographic growth, which is likely to increase buyer competition and support property price growth.
Districts' assessment of the Campbelltown (NSW) LGA register has identified 23 substantial development applications lodged in St Andrews over the past 5 years (17 in the last 12 months). Minor and ancillary works — single dwellings, outbuildings, signage and smaller residential developments — are excluded. Of these, 14 were approved (61%, or 93% of those decided), 1 was withdrawn (4%), while 3 are under assessment. The most common application types are industrial and commercial.

St Andrews contains 2 Long Day Care centres (79 places) and 1 OSHC facility (71 places), while overall provision relative to the local child population appears limited compared to national benchmarks, and is below the Greater Sydney average. With no preschool/kindergarten services observed in the area, only long day care, the ratio of children per place for the under 5 age group is 4.6 - placing the area among the bottom 20% nationally for supply per child. To meet the Greater Sydney average 103 new places would be required (LDC+PSK to service the under 5 age group). Meanwhile, projected population decline of 8.2% 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 lower female labour force participation of 52.2%.
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 13.8 per 100 residents with 765 enrolments across primary and secondary institutions. This middle-of-the-road rate of school supply suggests most local students are residents within the immediate area. Additionally, the level of school places per child care place (LDC+PSK) is higher 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. Proximity analysis saw distances of local residents to their nearest child care centre being shorter than average. 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.
6 school catchments intersect St Andrews (note; school catchment data provided for public schools only), in which a combined 6,459 children aged under 5 reside, served by 2,654 LDC and preschool places. The overall demand-to-supply ratio across these catchments is 2.4 children per place, with moderate variance in this ratio. Meanwhile, the discrepancy in this ratio between St Andrews and the intersecting school catchments highlights the need for a catchment based approach for specific site assessments.
