The Mill (UniSC campus + innovation precinct) is a durable tenant machine — students and staff — already showing as 8.7% rent growth, second-best on the list. Junction station of two rail lines.
The most expensive 4-bed ($1.07m) with the weakest price growth (13.1%) — the precinct is partly priced in — and yield lands at just 3.4%: top-up territory at LRBA rates.
North Pine floodplain — the same insurance-cost and street-risk story as Lawnton.
Lawnton offers the same precinct tenant pool at a cheaper entry with better momentum. Petrie only wins if a specific house sits well under median on high ground. 2 favourites.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Capital growth | ◐ Mixed | 13.7% compound over 5 yrs, 13.1% last 12m. Past growth is already in the price — sustaining it depends on the supply picture below. trend data (this DB) |
| Rental yield | ◐ Mixed | 3.6% gross (stated) — expect contribution top-ups at LRBA rates; losses stay trapped in the fund at 15%. PropTrack via suburb page |
| Flood risk | ✗ Bad | North Pine River floodplain — AJ Wyllie Bridge cut in Feb 2022; river-adjacent streets flood repeatedly. Feb-2022 event; BOM Pine River warnings |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | Mid-pack; no Caboolture-scale hotspots reported. QPS crime map |
| Infrastructure | ✓ Good | The Mill PDA: UniSC campus + planned innovation precinct; junction station serving two lines. Qld State Development |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 69% owned / 30% rented, 78% family households — owner-occupier depth supports prices and resale; verify tenant demand separately (listings volume, room demand). ABS via suburb page |
| New supply risk | ◐ Mixed | The Mill adds medium-density over time — it is also the main demand driver. Qld State Development |
| Distance to rail | ✓ Good | Petrie station — junction of the Caboolture and Redcliffe Peninsula lines. Translink network |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ◐ Mixed | Older 1960s–80s stock — renovation and upkeep run heavier. editorial — stock-age judgment |
