The cheapest entry in the district ($452.5k median) on a small rural locality with structural new-supply scarcity.
Two sales a year, no rent data and only 7.5% rented on a 97-person base — the low price can't be leaned on without a tenant pool or reliable comparable sales.
Remote (~35-45 min toward the Capricorn Hwy, no rail), older acreage (median age 48) on septic, and Fitzroy-corridor/bushfire exposure unmapped at suburb level.
Cheap, but cheap because it is remote and marketless; the SMSF lens finds no income and no liquidity. Pass unless land-banking a verified-dry block.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flood risk | ◐ Mixed | West/south-west toward the Capricorn Hwy corridor (which may close at ~8.2 m); Fitzroy floodplain/rural bushfire belt with no suburb-specific mapping located — check RRC flood maps at address level. Flood factpack (Subregion 4); RRC flood maps |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | No suburb-level QPS rate (pop 97); 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 locality ~35-45 min west/south-west of Rockhampton toward the Capricorn Hwy; no township, retail, rail or hospital — car-dependent on the city. Transport factpack (drive-time est.) |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 80% owned / 8% rented, 74% 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, car-dependent locality ~35-45 min from the CBD with no fixed-route bus. Transport factpack (drive-time est.) |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ✗ Bad | Older rural acreage (median age 48) on septic/tank/bore; heavy standing upkeep and remote-tradesman premiums off-limits to LRBA borrowing. editorial — acreage stock judgment |
