Strong all-round current numbers: 20% 12-month growth to a $600k median, a ~4.8% yield, the group's best rent growth (+10%), airport-anchored employment and ~5-7 min CBD access — a younger, family-skewed suburb (avg age 36).
The crime read is volatile (+47.3% YoY on a small base) which can lift screening and insurance, and the mixed-era stock means repair exposure varies house-to-house.
Flood status is genuinely unverified — it borders low Wandal/river ground and the airport flats — so a per-address council Flood Check is mandatory before relying on the dry read.
A well-rounded inner-west hold with real yield, strong rent momentum and airport-anchored demand — one of the better cash-flow-plus-growth balances in the subregion. Gate hard on an address-level Flood Check (the river-adjacency is the open question) and favour the newer stock.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Capital growth | ✓ Good | 16.8% compound over 5 yrs, 20% last 12m. Past growth is already in the price — sustaining it depends on the supply picture below. trend data (this DB) |
| Rental yield | ✓ Good | 4.8% gross — strong; can approach self-funding at LRBA rates. PropTrack via suburb page |
| Flood risk | ◐ Mixed | No specific flood record located, but it is adjacent to low Wandal/river areas and hosts the airport (built to stay operational in major floods) — treat as unverified and check the council map at the address. Flood factpack — UNCERTAIN (RRC Spatial Data Hub); TMR flood-immunity note |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | Around the QLD average but volatile — 102.8/1,000, rank 18/100, property-crime odds 1 in 17, with a +47.3% YoY jump on a small base that makes the trend noisy. Crime factpack — RedSuburbs/QPS 2025 |
| Infrastructure | ✓ Good | Hosts Rockhampton Airport (~656k pax/yr, ~5km from the CBD) and is ~5-7 min to the CBD; bus-served, near the duplicated Capricorn Highway. Transport factpack — Wikipedia/RRC 2024-25 |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✓ Good | 65% owned / 33% rented, 66% 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 | Built-out inner-west with minimal new land or unit pipeline — detached-house scarcity holds. Supply factpack — RRC 2025 |
| Distance to rail | ✓ Good | No commuter rail regionally; transport access is strong at ~5-7 min to the CBD and airport-adjacent, on sealed arterials. Transport factpack — Kinetic/Translink 2025 |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ◐ Mixed | Mixed-era stock (younger owner profile, avg age 36, 66% families) — some post-war/newer alongside older houses; upkeep varies, owner-funded. editorial — stock-age judgment |
