Figure 19 Median rent for a 3 bedroom house, Noosa LGA compared to Queensland State

Tenancies Authority, Rental Bonds data


Queensland Residential Tenancy Authority (RTA) publishes median rent by postcode, on a quarterly
basis, for different types and sizes of dwellings. Where they have less than five new bonds lodged
in a quarter for a given postcode, no median is available. Table 30 to Table 34 below show a selection
of dwellings with June and December quarter data since 2017. This shows that since the publication
of the Briggs & Mortar report there have been some significant increases, showing the number of
new tenancies as low, particularly in hinterland postcodes.
