Why investors look at Moreton Bay
The City of Moreton Bay is home to about 476,000 residents and is one of the fastest-growing regions in Australia, with population projected toward 700,000 by 2041. The University of the Sunshine Coast's Petrie campus, rail upgrades and a deep mix of coastal and corridor suburbs underpin steady rental demand.

What makes the corridor work for a long-term hold:
- University precinct. The University of the Sunshine Coast Moreton Bay campus at Petrie anchors a major employment and knowledge precinct on a former mill site.
- Rail and road. The Redcliffe Peninsula line and Petrie and Kallangur stations, plus the Bruce Highway, connect residents to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
- Breadth. The region spans coastal suburbs and inland growth corridors such as Caboolture, Morayfield and Burpengary, giving a wide tenant base.
- Sustained demand. Strong interstate migration and one of the country's largest populations keep rental markets tight.
- Tight rentals. Greater Brisbane vacancy has sat around 1 percent, well below a balanced market.
