What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use Industrial building (medium impact industry extension) neutralA paperwork extension of a lapsing industrial-building approval inside an established General Industry estate — no new built form, and the surrounds are industrial, so it doesn't move the dial for neighbouring property.
  • Apartments / use 4 units Warehouse (multi-unit / strata industrial tenancies) accretiveA tidy, code-compliant industrial-unit build on a long-vacant corner lot inside an established Sumner industrial estate — a mild plus for the immediate industrial street, broadly neutral for the residential pocket 80-odd metres away.
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Food and drink outlet cafe accretiveA planning rubber-stamp of a café that already trades in the Sumner industrial estate — low-key amenity for workers, no change to the streetscape, and no impact on any nearby homes.
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Industrial shed and canopy neutralA minor like-for-like industrial extension (a shed and canopy) on an established General Industry lot in a wholly industrial pocket of Sumner - it tidies up an existing operator's site and is effectively invisible to the surrounding property market.
  • Apartments / use 2-storey Warehouse neutralA minor functional extension of an existing warehouse inside an established General Industry B estate - effectively invisible to the wider property market.

Flood

Does Sumner flood? It's a street-by-street question.

A suburb-wide flood figure hides the only answer that matters: whether the specific lot you are looking at sits inside a mapped overlay.

Where we're straight with you
We hold the parcel-level flood overlay here.

Flood overlays for Brisbane are in our map. The per-lot answer (in or out of the overlay) is on the address report, not a suburb average.

What this tells you, and what it doesn't

A high owner-occupier share, paired with a professional resident base, is a demand signal: people buy here to live, not to flip. It says nothing about the specific street or block. The per-address report puts these residents next to the exact lot, its zoning and what is being built nearby.

Is Sumner a good suburb? · answered by the data

The questions buyers ask about Sumner.

Straight answers, built from the numbers on this page. We show the data and let you decide. Information only, not advice.

Is Sumner a good suburb?

Right now Sumner is a quiet, low-change suburb: 3 development applications landed in the last twelve months. It is about 14 km south-west of the Brisbane CBD. Flood is a per-lot question here and we hold the parcel overlay, so check the exact address rather than a suburb average. None of this is a rating. Every street tells its own story, so run the specific address before you commit.

What is the median house price in Sumner?

The median house in Sumner is about $910K (2025). That figure comes from very few sales, so the data is thin, not accurate — treat it as a rough marker rather than a market rate.

Does Sumner flood?

Flood risk in Sumner is a street-by-street question. We hold the parcel-level flood overlay for this council, so the honest answer is at the exact address, not a suburb average. Run an address to see whether a specific lot sits inside a mapped overlay.
