What the data suggests for developers.

A gross yield around 6.6% is unusually strong for North Burnett to be showing on bond-median rents — rental demand does a lot of the heavy lifting here, which is what makes hold-based schemes (dual occupancy, build-and-retain townhouses) easier to pencil than in yield-thin markets. The median moved -2.8% year-on-year on 50 sales — a softening tape can mean negotiating room on the land, but re-check end values on the way down before banking the discount. 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.
