Queensland as a whole, as the publisher reports it.
The median new lease in Queensland was $650 a week in June quarter 2026, across 53,770 new leases. That is the publisher's own figure, computed over every bond in the state, not one we assembled from the areas below.
It is up 8.3% on a year earlier.
Median weekly rent of bonds lodged in the quarter, which is what tenants actually started paying rather than what was advertised.

Every stage between permission and a home somebody can live in, for Queensland. An approval is the weakest evidence in this chain and a completion is the strongest — only the last line counts dwellings that exist.
| Approved | 45,184 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 6 August 2026 · ABS building approvals, summed over the state |
|---|---|---|
| Approved and not yet started | 4,809 | March quarter 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity — a count at this date |
| Started | 43,284 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity |
| Under construction | 50,100 | March quarter 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity — a count at this date |
| Completed | 33,060 | the twelve months to March 2026 · knowable 8 July 2026 · ABS building activity |
The first three lines are permission and intent. Only the last counts homes that exist.
Dwellings were started at 96% of the rate they were approved over the twelve months to March 2026.
Fewer were finished than started (76% as many), so the number under construction grew.
What is under construction represents about 1.5 years of building at the current rate of completions.
These are counts of activity in a period, not a cohort. The Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish which approvals became which commencements, so none of these figures says what share of any particular approvals was built.
The latest figures here are for June quarter 2026, which ended 30 June 2026. The next is September quarter 2026, ending 30 September 2026; it appears here once the publisher releases it, and we do not predict that date.
The rent figures here are published by Residential Tenancies Authority and used under an open licence. Any other figure on this page names its own publisher on the line it appears on. Every rent figure is either as published or arithmetic on figures as published. APRIQ models and estimates nothing: where a figure is a publisher’s own estimate — an estimated resident population is one — it is called an estimate where it is shown. Growth is measured between named quarters, never by counting back rows, because an area is published only when it clears the publisher’s reporting threshold. Every market listed has a current figure, at least 20 bonds behind it and at least 8 quarters of history. Markets with less get no page rather than a thin one. Method, sources and licences.
