This saw the five-year cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) for the region – encompassing the coastal municipalities of Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and the Fraser Coast, and the inland municipalities of Bundaberg, Gympie, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim, Somerset, South Burnett, Southern Downs and Toowoomba – increase to 8.6 per cent in 2021.

South Queensland now boasts the longest run of growth of Queensland’s regions, experiencing year-on-year (YoY) increases in nine of the past 10, and 19 of the past 22, years, the report found.

All municipalities in the region recorded YoY growth, except for Moreton Bay (-4.9 per cent to $12,229/ha) and Fraser Coast (-0.3 per cent to $6,394/ha).

As a clear sign of booming demand, the report shows the number of transactions in the South Queensland region jumped 44.4 per cent YoY in the largest yearly increase in more than 25 years. The only municipality to record a decline in the number of transactions was Moreton Bay (-4 per cent). All other municipalities recorded increases, with all but Sunshine Coast and Bundaberg increasing by more than 35 per cent YoY.

Transaction volume grew for all price ranges in the state, the report notes, with the strongest growth in the highest-valued land priced above $15,000/ha, which had twice as many transactions as 2020. This resulted in this segment of the market accounting for 27 per cent of the region’s transactions in 2021, up from 20 per cent in 2020. The lowest price range of less than $5,000/ha recorded the lowest growth in transaction volume with an 8.9 per cent rise.

As with price ranges, the report found all parcel size ranges experienced growth in transaction volume and all reached record high median prices. The largest increase in transactions was in the 50-100-hectare category, which made up 36 per cent of the region’s transaction. This segment also saw the largest YoY increase to a median price rise of 37.6 per cent to $9,693/ha.

The 30-50-hectare parcel size recorded the strongest five-year CAGR at 8.1 per cent, but the median price of $14,955/ha is understood to have priced some buyers out of the market.

Loretta Hensley from Rural Bank Dalby says: “Positive seasonal conditions, strong commodity prices, succession plans, and increased interest in the rural lifestyle all contributed to higher land values in South Queensland.

“Buyers looking to secure scale had to compete with well-established corporate-family enterprises, with healthy balance sheets and the backing of lenders with an appetite to support generational transfers.

“An increased proportion of resales was a point of interest in the 2021 market, whether made through management decisions to consolidate, medium-term seasonal conditions or taking advantage of current market opportunities.”
