Bond-lodgement medians from the © The State of Queensland Residential Tenancies Authority (CC BY 3.0 AU), Mar 2026 quarter (new tenancies). "Low sample" = the count is masked or small at source; treat those medians with care.
Gross yield around 3.5% is thin — projects in Lockyer Valley lean on end values, not rent. Sell-down schemes (subdivide-and-sell, build-and-sell) fit the profile better than holds financed on rental income. The median moved +23.3% year-on-year on 212 sales — momentum is real, but never pay for it twice: if the asking price already banks the growth, the residual land value has to be run on today's evidence, not the trend line. Lockyer Valley sits at #19 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. 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.
This page is LGA-level screening. For one property — zoning, what could be built, what a developer could pay — run a GoSiteHunt site check, screen it with the free Deal Killer Checklist, or see how many units fit on a block.

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.
