Common questions about Sunnybank

Is Sunnybank safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 50/100 for safety and ranking #135 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 110 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Upper Mount Gravatt police division, not for Sunnybank alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Sunnybank good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 50/100, parks 53/100 and green space 48/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Sunnybank expensive to live in?

Median rent is $400 a week, and household income ranks #222 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 11/100 for value.

Does Sunnybank have good public transport?
