An affluent large-acreage enclave (household income ~57% above metro, 96% families) with genuine rural-zoned scarcity and no supply pipeline.
A $2.075M median on two sales a year and an 8.7%-rented base means no reliable valuation, no tenant pool, and a deeply negative yield the fund absorbs at 15%.
One-road rural access ~30 min from rail and hospital, on bushfire-interface terrain the LRBA cannot fund to mitigate — structurally illiquid both to lease and to sell.
A prestige lifestyle locality, not an investment-grade one; the price point alone breaks a fund sized to an $850k-$1M purchase. Pass.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Capital growth | ✗ Bad | —% compound over 0 yrs, -3.5% last 12m. Past growth is already in the price — sustaining it depends on the supply picture below. trend data (this DB) |
| Flood risk | ◐ Mixed | No suburb-level event confirmed; shares the North Pine tributary flash-flood and one-road-isolation exposure of the hinterland — verify at address level via council Flood Check. BOM Pine/Caboolture brochure; MBRC Flood Check |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | No published suburb-level rate — a ~363-person locality under the very-low-crime Dayboro/Petrie divisions; directionally low but unverified. OpenStats 2022-24 (division-level) |
| Infrastructure | ✗ Bad | No township, rail or hospital; ~30 min to Petrie/Dayboro services — remote large-lot acreage. Transport factpack (est.) |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 91% owned / 9% rented, 96% 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-zoned with no project-level pipeline — structural scarcity under the 75%-rural policy. Supply factpack; MBRC Planning Scheme |
| Distance to rail | ✗ Bad | No station; ~30 min to Petrie heavy rail — no commuter catchment. Translink network; transport factpack |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ✗ Bad | Large-lot acreage (septic, tanks, bushfire clearing, fencing) — high land-based upkeep outside LRBA improvement funding. editorial — acreage judgment |
