Affluent, tightly-held rural acreage — incomes ~58% above metro, 88% families, 80% owned — with structural new-supply scarcity, sitting near Alton Downs west of the river.
A 1-sale-a-year market at a $1.78m median gives no reliable valuation, and only 20% rented on a 95-person base means no tenant depth and no liquidity for a fund.
Remote one-road access (~25-35 min), acreage septic/tank/bore upkeep the LRBA cannot fund, and Fitzroy floodplain/bushfire exposure with no suburb-level flood mapping — resolve at the address.
A prestige lifestyle locality whose $1.78m entry alone breaks a fund sized to an $850k-$1m purchase, with no income case behind it. Pass on the numbers.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flood risk | ◐ Mixed | On the Fitzroy floodplain/rural bushfire belt west of the river; no suburb-specific flood mapping was located — check Rockhampton Regional Council flood maps at address level. Bushfire danger season runs July-November. Flood factpack (UNCERTAIN — Subregion 4); RRC flood maps |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | No suburb-level QPS rate (pop 95); Capricornia District rural division, assumed low absolute crime by population but unverified — confirm on the QPS Online Crime Map. Crime factpack — QPS Capricornia District (no suburb-level data) |
| Infrastructure | ✗ Bad | Rural NW locality ~25-35 min from Rockhampton near Alton Downs; no town centre, retail, rail or hospital — car-dependent and reliant on the city for all services. Transport factpack (drive-time est.) |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 80% owned / 20% rented, 88% family households — owner-occupier depth supports prices and resale; verify tenant demand separately (listings volume, room demand). ABS via suburb page |
| New supply risk | ✓ Good | Rural acreage/agricultural zoning with negligible new-dwelling pipeline — structural scarcity of new stock. Supply factpack (Subregion 4) |
| Distance to rail | ✗ Bad | No rail in the region; as transport access it is a remote one-road rural locality (~25-35 min to the CBD), car-dependent with no fixed-route bus. Transport factpack (drive-time est.) |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ◐ Mixed | Higher-value rural acreage ($1.78m median) — grounds, septic/tank and bore upkeep are a standing cost the LRBA cannot fund even on newer builds. editorial — acreage stock judgment |
