Severely undersupplied
Market signal: With only 11 days median time on market, 274 new listings in the past 12 months against 339 sales, and stock on market at just 0.33%, Kallangur is operating in a deeply undersupplied environment. Vendor discounting remains minimal. This is one of the tightest seller’s markets in the north Brisbane corridor.

Infrastructure & Development
Growth Catalysts Driving Kallangur’s Market
Kallangur’s price trajectory is not random — it reflects a convergence of planning policy, transport infrastructure, and population dynamics that are structural and long-dated. Four key catalysts stand out as the primary drivers of sustained demand.
🚉
Moreton Bay Central PDA — Kallangur Station Precinct
The Mill at Moreton Bay PDA was renamed the Moreton Bay Central PDA in July 2025, reflecting its expanded ambition across 460 hectares spanning Petrie, Kallangur and Lawnton. The Kallangur Station precinct within the PDA targets transit-oriented development — new retail, residential and community uses immediately adjacent to the station. This is the single most significant planning catalyst for Kallangur’s medium-density pipeline and long-term land value uplift.
🛣
Bruce Highway Upgrade — Anzac Ave to Uhlmann Road
A major multi-stage upgrade program is actively underway on Kallangur’s eastern boundary. Stage 1 (Dohles Rocks Road to Anzac Avenue) commenced construction in April 2025, creating new interchange ramps and supporting approximately 340 construction jobs. Stage 2 — a 13-kilometre widening from Anzac Avenue to Uhlmann Road — is planned after community consultation concluded in late 2025. These upgrades are part of Queensland’s $5.3 billion North Coast Region infrastructure commitment.
🚆
Moreton Bay Rail Link & 30-Minute CBD Access
Kallangur Train Station — one of six stations on the 12.6-kilometre Moreton Bay Rail Link — delivers direct rail access to Brisbane CBD in approximately 30 minutes via Petrie. This connectivity fundamentally repositioned Kallangur from a car-dependent dormitory suburb to a genuine transit-oriented community, and has been a primary driver of sustained price growth since the line’s opening. The station precinct is now the focus of PDA-driven densification activity.
🏘
Queensland Residential Activation Fund — 10,300 New Homes
The Queensland Government committed up to $1 billion in Round One of its $2 billion Residential Activation Fund in the 2025–26 State Budget, identifying Moreton Bay — including the Kallangur corridor — as a primary beneficiary, with 10,300 new homes to be unlocked through critical trunk infrastructure funding. A further $150 million Catalyst Infrastructure Fund accelerates delivery. This policy directly supports Kallangur’s existing pipeline of 6 active residential estates.
Structural undersupply: Queensland attracted over 25% of Australia’s total population growth between Q1 2020 and Q3 2025, while dwelling completions lagged significantly. Kallangur’s building approvals ratio sits at just 0.27%, confirming very limited near-term new housing supply in the established parts of the suburb — with stock on market at a critically tight 0.33%, equivalent to just 1.86 months of inventory. The vacancy rate of 0.68% confirms equally severe undersupply in the rental market.
Policy Impact
2026 Federal Budget — What It Means for Kallangur
The 2026 Federal Budget, delivered 12 May 2026, introduced the most significant housing and property tax reforms in decades. Kallangur — with a high renter population (45.5%), strong investor activity, and a growing medium-density pipeline — is particularly multifaceted in its exposure to these changes. Here is what each key measure means for Kallangur homeowners and sellers specifically.
Negative Gearing Now Law: Restricted to New Builds (from 1 July 2027)
Under legislation passed on 25 June 2026, investors purchasing established residential properties after Budget night (12 May 2026) can no longer offset rental losses against other income from 1 July 2027. Properties purchased before 7:30pm on Budget night (12 May 2026) are grandfathered in full. CBA modelling estimates this could leave prices approximately 3% lower than they otherwise would have been — reducing their national price growth forecast from 5% to 3% for 2026.
For Kallangur sellers: The grandfathering clause preserves the investment appeal of all established Kallangur homes purchased before Budget night. Notably, Kallangur’s pipeline of new residential estates and the Moreton Bay Central PDA’s Kallangur Station precinct supply are precisely the type of new-build product that retains full negative gearing access post-budget — meaning investor capital may shift toward these product types rather than leaving the suburb entirely. Owner-occupier demand remains strong and well-positioned to absorb any investor softening in the established market.
Moderate Impact — Established Market Well Buffered by New-Build Pipeline
Capital Gains Tax Reform Now Law: 50% Discount Replaced from 1 July 2027
The 50% CGT discount has been replaced by legislation with CPI-adjusted cost base indexation plus a minimum 30% tax rate on real capital gains accruing on or after 1 July 2027. Gains accrued before 1 July 2027 retain the existing discount treatment in full — the change only applies to future gains accumulating from that date. For discretionary trusts, the 30% minimum rate applies from 1 July 2026.
For Kallangur sellers: Given Kallangur’s exceptional price growth — median house values have risen from $368,052 in 2017 to $965,202 today — the CGT timing consideration is material. Completing the sale of an investment property before 1 July 2027 locks in the full 50% discount on all gains accrued to date. At current values, this represents a substantial after-tax difference. The current market — with 11-day median days on market and strong vendor leverage — provides optimal conditions to act on this timing window.
Moderate Impact — Strong Case for Timing Sale Before July 2027
First Home Buyer Support Measures
Expanded government guarantee schemes allow eligible first home buyers to purchase with a smaller deposit while avoiding Lenders Mortgage Insurance. The 100,000 Homes for First Home Buyers program and a $2 billion Local Infrastructure Fund were also announced to support new housing supply delivery.
For Kallangur sellers: Kallangur’s median house price of $850,000 and strong unit market around $653,000 sit squarely within the price ranges most accessible to first home buyers under the expanded guarantee schemes. A larger first-home buyer cohort directly expands the qualified buyer pool for Kallangur properties — particularly for vendors of 3-bedroom family homes and 2-bedroom units — and supports competitive outcomes at sale.
Positive for Sellers — Expanded First Home Buyer Pool at Kallangur Price Points
RBA Cash Rate at 4.35% — Three 2026 Hikes
The Reserve Bank hiked the cash rate three times in 2026 (February, March and May), taking it from 3.60% to 4.35% — reversing all three cuts made during 2025. Each 25bp rise reduces average borrowing capacity by approximately $12,000. An average $736,000 loan now costs roughly $360/month more than at the start of 2026. The RBA has signalled a pause at its June meeting to assess the impact of these hikes.
For Kallangur sellers: Rate hikes have reduced individual borrowing capacity, but Kallangur’s dual-income household profile (predominant household type: couples with children) means the affordability impact is partially offset for two-income buyers. Notably, 25.1% annual house price growth has occurred despite three rate hikes — confirming that structural demand drivers outweigh interest rate headwinds at Kallangur’s price point. The 11-day days-on-market figure is the clearest evidence that buyer competition remains intense.
Mixed — Demand Outpacing Rate Headwinds at Current Price Levels
Bottom line for sellers: The 2026 budget reforms create a narrowing window of opportunity. The CGT discount applies in full to all gains accrued before July 2027, and the negative gearing grandfathering clause preserves Kallangur’s established homes as premium investment assets for buyers who act before the deadline. Selling in the current environment — with 11-day median days on market, 25.1% annual house value growth, and unit values up 31.1% — gives vendors maximum leverage before any policy-driven softening takes hold in the investor segment of the market.
Forward View
Rental Growth & Market Outlook
Kallangur’s rental market is outperforming the broader Moreton Bay region, with unit rental growth running at 7.0% year-on-year and house rents growing at 5.3%. With a vacancy rate of just 0.68% — well below the 3% threshold considered balanced — and 446 house rental observations in the past 12 months, demand is structurally overwhelming supply. The combination of PDA-driven population growth, ongoing Bruce Highway improvement, and the continued expansion of the Moreton Bay Central precinct keeps the demand outlook firmly positive.
