vs last 12 months
Relative comparison
Standard security measures are sufficient; focus on properties with secure garage access.
The primary risks are environmental, specifically related to the suburb's coastal position and proximity to conservation bushland.
Tidal inundation and storm surge risks are present for properties east of Colburn Avenue and near Thompson's Beach.
Significant hazard overlays apply to properties adjacent to Eprapah Creek and the southern boundary with Redland Bay.
Buyers should obtain specific quotes for properties in flood or bushfire zones as premiums are rising sharply in these areas.
