What the data suggests for developers.

A gross yield around 4% is middling: it neither rescues nor kills a development case in Fraser Coast. End values and build cost will decide the feasibility, with rent as a secondary support. Median growth of +13.6% year-on-year on 705 sales reads as steady rather than speculative — a reasonable backdrop for a scheme that still has to work at today's end values. Fraser Coast sits at #20 of 33 in the Queensland Opportunity Index — it qualifies on data depth, but the yield-led scoring places it low: prices have outrun rents, which is a profile that favours sell-down schemes over holds. Rental depth is genuine: 210 bonds behind the headline median means the rent figure is an observed market, not a handful of tenancies. All of the above is area-level screening, not advice: a specific parcel lives or dies on zoning, overlays, frontage, and the end value of what it can actually carry.

Granularity & method.

Council (LGA) level — Queensland does not publish suburb-level sale prices as open data. Sale medians are detached-house sales on a QVAS contract-date basis; rents are RTA new-tenancy medians for the LGA. Indicative gross yield = headline weekly bond median × 52 ÷ sale median — a screening ratio, not a valuation input.
