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.
A gross yield around 4.6% is middling: it neither rescues nor kills a development case in Rockhampton. End values and build cost will decide the feasibility, with rent as a secondary support. The median moved +19.2% year-on-year on 534 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. Rockhampton currently ranks #9 of the 33 areas in the Queensland Opportunity Index — the yield, movement and developer buy-box demand mix lines up better here than in most of the state's qualifying areas. Rental depth is genuine: 241 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.
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.
