The best relative yield read in the belt (~3.5%) on the lowest median here ($960k), with a somewhat deeper tenant base (17% rented) than its acreage neighbours.
The rent series is flat and inconsistent (five negative stretches), the market is thin, and there is no rail within 30–35 min — momentum and liquidity are both weak.
High bushfire risk inside D'Aguilar NP with a dedicated siren warning system; insurance loading and evacuation exposure are structural, and remote timber stock on tank/septic makes repairs costly.
The least-bad income read among the mountain suburbs, but the high-bushfire climate risk and remote maintenance still make it a poor SMSF fit. Only a bushfire-hardened, newer-built lot bought for yield-plus-lifestyle could be argued, cautiously.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Capital growth | ◐ Mixed | 10.8% compound over 5 yrs, 8.8% last 12m. Past growth is already in the price — sustaining it depends on the supply picture below. trend data (this DB) |
| Rental yield | ◐ Mixed | 3.5% gross — expect contribution top-ups at LRBA rates; losses stay trapped in the fund at 15%. PropTrack via suburb page |
| Flood risk | ✗ Bad | Classed high bushfire risk inside D'Aguilar NP (~770 residents/370 homes) with a dedicated Mt Nebo/Mt Glorious siren warning system — elevated insurance and evacuation exposure; riverine risk low. Mt Nebo Residents' Assoc Bushfire Report 2024; City of Moreton Bay EWS |
| Crime | ✓ Good | No rate data; a remote mountain community (pop 430) in the low-crime Ferny Grove division. Verify on the QPS crime map. RedSuburbs 2024 / QPS crime map (verify) |
| Infrastructure | ✗ Bad | Mountain community ~30–35 min to Ferny Grove; minimal local services, no supermarket-grade retail, no hospital, no rail. Transport factpack 2026 |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 81% owned / 17% rented, 71% 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 | Inside D'Aguilar National Park on Rural zoning — effectively no development capacity; structural scarcity is absolute. MBRC Planning Scheme; supply factpack |
| Distance to rail | ✗ Bad | No station; nearest rail Ferny Grove ~30–35 min drive up the range. Translink; transport factpack |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ✗ Bad | Older/rustic mountain stock on tank/septic; remote-tradesman travel premiums and mandatory bushfire clearing make repairs disproportionately costly — none LRBA-fundable. editorial — remote-acreage judgment |
