18 John Dory Drive, Toolooa QLD 4680

Toolooa’s demand is driven by Gladstone-region employment (port, industry and services), close access to the CBD, affordable entry-level stock and healthy rental yields, so buyers are a mix of first-home owners and income-focused investors. Risks include exposure to the resources cycle and any local oversupply from new approvals, while growth opportunities sit with regional infrastructure and tight local stock that supports rents. Prices have broadly continued to tick up over the past six months following strong ~12–19% annual gains, leaving the market firm but testing affordability for new entrants.
