The good, the bad, the ugly narrative verdict — evidence in the lens below · edit data/verdicts.json

The good

A $700,000 median near Mount Morgan on a large-lot rural setting; rural scarcity caps any new supply.

The bad

One sale, 0% rented and a 17-person base — no market and no tenant pool to underwrite.

The ugly

Remote ranges acreage ~40-45 min to Rockhampton on tank/septic; no per-lot flood mapping.

Net read from the data

Effectively unpriced and tenant-less — lifestyle land only, no SMSF case. Pass.

DimensionVerdictWhy
Flood risk MixedElevated Dee-valley / ranges locality, so low riverine risk, but ranges bushfire season (Jul-Nov) is the real climate hazard and no per-suburb flood study exists — check RRC flood maps at address level.
flood factpack (Capricorn Enterprise 2026); RRC flood maps (verify at address)
Crime MixedNo suburb-level QPS data (pop 17); policed by the Mount Morgan division, whose town profile runs above the QLD average (202.7/1,000) but is drug/disorder-weighted with low absolute burglary — verify on the QPS crime map.
crime factpack — RedSuburbs/QPS 2025 (Mount Morgan division proxy)
Infrastructure BadRemote southern-ranges locality ~40-45 min to Rockhampton; no local retail, school, rail or hospital — car-dependent.
transport factpack (drive-time estimates)
Owner-occupier appeal Good100% owned / 0% rented, 0% family households — owner-occupier depth supports prices and resale; verify tenant demand separately (listings volume, room demand).
ABS via suburb page
New supply risk GoodNo development pipeline — static rural / ex-mining stock in the Mount Morgan micro-market; structural scarcity, though demand is thin.
supply factpack (Mount Morgan micro-market — no estate pipeline)
Distance to rail BadNo commuter rail in the region; ~40-45 min to Rockhampton CBD over the Burnett Hwy range crossing (the Razorback), car-dependent with no fixed-route bus.
transport factpack — Burnett Hwy drive time
Housing stock & upkeep BadRural-residential acreage on tank/septic — land, shed and septic upkeep the LRBA cannot fund.
