A strong past decade — 14.5% five-year price CAGR to a $1.285m median, 29 sales a year, a young-family owner base (86% families) and genuine land scarcity under rural zoning, minutes from Woodford's centre and ~22-28min to Caboolture.
The present is soft for an investor: a ~3.0% yield, rent that fell 11% over the year on a thin 5-listing market, and only 9% of homes rented — a shallow tenant pool. Acreage upkeep sits outside what an LRBA can fund.
Creek-flat exposure along Delaneys Creek (the suburb was under the Feb-2022 flash-flooding warning) plus one-road rural access; per-lot flood status must be cleared at Flood Check before any purchase.
A capital-growth-flavoured acreage market whose income side is too thin for a comfortable SMSF hold — the falling rent and 9% rental base are the tells. Only for a contribution-strong fund that wants large-lot scarcity, on dry ground with newer stock; otherwise Wamuran does the same job with a deeper market.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Capital growth | ✓ Good | 14.5% compound over 5 yrs, 15.8% last 12m. Past growth is already in the price — sustaining it depends on the supply picture below. trend data (this DB) |
| Rental yield | ✗ Bad | 3.0% gross — heavy negative cash flow inside the fund — the growth has to justify it. PropTrack via suburb page |
| Flood risk | ◐ Mixed | Under the Dayboro/Wamuran Very Dangerous Thunderstorm Warning (flash flooding) in Feb 2022; creek-flat exposure along Delaneys Creek, balance elevated rural. Per-suburb flood unverified — confirm at address level. Moreton Daily; Feb-2022 event; MBRC Flood Check |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | No suburb-level rate data (Woodford/Kilcoy police divisions); neighbouring Wamuran and Dayboro both read well below the QLD average, so directionally low — verify on the QPS crime map. QPS crime map (verify); OpenStats 2022–24 (neighbours) |
| Infrastructure | ◐ Mixed | Established rural-residential belt ~22-28min to Caboolture and minutes from Woodford's Woolworths centre and the D'Aguilar Hwy; no in-suburb retail, rail or hospital. Transport factpack |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 89% owned / 9% rented, 86% 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/rural-residential under the 75%-rural-preservation policy — no greenfield estate pipeline identified; structural scarcity of new competing stock. MBRC planning scheme; supply factpack |
| Distance to rail | ✗ Bad | No station; nearest heavy rail Caboolture ~22-28min via Woodford/D'Aguilar Hwy. Translink network |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ◐ Mixed | Predominantly acreage and rural-residential; a younger family profile (avg age 39, 86% families) implies some newer builds, but large-lot upkeep still lands on fund cash flow. editorial — stock-age judgment |
