In postcode 4428, 0 of 678 registered light vehicles are battery-electric on 31 January 2025. A further 0.4% (3 vehicles) are hybrid or plug-in hybrid, taking the non-petrol, non-diesel share to 0.4%.
Rooftop solar
In postcode 4428, 200 rooftop-solar systems totalling 1.2 MW have been installed since 2001, against 255 dwellings recorded in the 2021 Census. 7 went up in the last year.
Counts every system certified since 2001, so a roof re-fitted with a newer system is counted twice, and small commercial systems are included alongside houses — useful for comparing postcodes, not an estimate of how many homes have working panels today.
2026 covers part of the year only, to 2026-07.
First Home Owner Grant
FY2026-27$30,000 for new homes priced up to $750,000.
$30,000 for contracts signed on or after 20 November 2023, with no end date. IT DID NOT REVERT TO $15,000: the tier was due to end 30 June 2026 and the 2026-27 Queensland Budget (23 June 2026) continued it for contracts signed from 1 July 2026. This file carried a "due to revert" note until 2026-09-18 — it was never true, and a note predicting a change is not the same as a change. Cap is "less than $750,000" including land and contract variations — less than, not up to. New homes only: "There are no home owner grants for established homes."
