A $670,000 median on 3 sales, with the highest rental share in the group (32% rented) — a marginally deeper tenant base than the fringe.
That 32% is off a 76-person base with no rent or yield measured, so the tenant signal is thin, and a 3-sale market gives no reliable valuation.
Rural acreage between Bouldercombe and the ranges, ~25-40 min to Rockhampton, on tank/septic upkeep the LRBA cannot fund; no per-lot flood mapping.
A slightly deeper rental share can't offset a 3-sale market and acreage upkeep — capital-only, not an SMSF income hold.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flood risk | ◐ Mixed | Elevated Dee-valley / ranges locality, so low riverine risk, but ranges bushfire season (Jul-Nov) is the real climate hazard and no per-suburb flood study exists — check RRC flood maps at address level. flood factpack (Capricorn Enterprise 2026); RRC flood maps (verify at address) |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | No suburb-level QPS data (pop 76); policed via the Rockhampton/Gracemere rural divisions (low-population, low absolute crime assumed) — verify on the QPS crime map. crime factpack — QPS Capricornia (Rockhampton/Gracemere rural division proxy) |
| Infrastructure | ✗ Bad | Remote southern-ranges locality ~25-40 min to Rockhampton; no local retail, school, rail or hospital — car-dependent. transport factpack (drive-time estimates) |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 68% owned / 32% rented, 67% 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 | No development pipeline — static rural / ex-mining stock in the Mount Morgan micro-market; structural scarcity, though demand is thin. supply factpack (Mount Morgan micro-market — no estate pipeline) |
| Distance to rail | ✗ Bad | No commuter rail in the region; ~25-40 min to Rockhampton CBD over the Burnett Hwy range crossing (the Razorback), car-dependent with no fixed-route bus. transport factpack — Burnett Hwy drive time |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ✗ Bad | Rural-residential acreage on tank/septic — land, shed and septic upkeep the LRBA cannot fund. editorial — stock-age judgment |
