| * The median rents are based on expanded areas due to the amalgamation of local government areas. | |||||||
| # Gold Coast (C) Part A includes areas covered from Beenleigh/Bethania to Ormeau/Jacob's Well | |||||||
| The balance of Gold Coast (combined Albert & Gold Coast councils) has been broken into a number of regions | |||||||
| ~ Sunshine Coast includes the coastal strip represented by Part A of the councils of Caloundra, Maroochy & Noosa | |||||||
| ^ The relatively small number of bond lodgements for properties in these areas make median rent values less reliable | |||||||
| n.a. - Not Available (number of bonds lodged too small (less than 5)) | |||||||
| Where the number of lodgements is small the rent values should be used with caution. | |||||||
