DurackProperty Profile

Durack is a Brisbane City Council suburb roughly 14 kilometres south-west of the CBD, bordered by Inala, Oxley, Darra and Doolandella. It sits on the Ipswich Motorway corridor and shares much of the same post-war development history as its neighbours — a suburb built primarily through the 1960s–1980s to house workers from Brisbane's western industrial belt.

Durack's housing stock is dominated by brick-and-tile and timber lowset homes on standard-to-generous blocks, with Serviceton South State School and Inala State School serving much of the local family population. The suburb benefits from the same motorway and rail access (via nearby Darra and Oxley stations) that has been steadily lifting demand across Brisbane's western corridor.

Durack's median house price sits around $750K in 2026, positioning it between more affordable Inala and pricier riverside Oxley. Our recorded 2026 sale, 21 Ringwood Street ($800,000 for a 3-bed/1-bath home on 610 sqm), sits just above the suburb median — consistent with a well-presented, standard-lot family home.

Twelve-month growth of around 8.6% has tracked ahead of the Brisbane metro average, part of a broader rerating of the western corridor as buyers priced out of Darra, Sumner and Jindalee look one suburb further out. Rental yields around 4.4% and vacancy near 1.6% reflect solid, if unspectacular, rental fundamentals typical of this part of Brisbane's south-west.

Value relative to its immediate neighbours. Durack offers similar lot sizes and motorway/rail access to Darra at a lower entry price, without the flood-plain constraints that affect some pockets of Rocklea and low-lying parts of the corridor. For first-home buyers and upgraders wanting a standalone house with a yard inside 15 kilometres of the CBD, it remains one of the more accessible options left in Brisbane.

The suburb's proximity to the Ipswich Motorway and the Darra/Oxley rail line means commute times into the CBD are competitive with suburbs charging significantly more, which is the core of Durack's ongoing appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors.

We expect Durack to continue benefiting from spillover demand as Darra and Oxley prices climb further out of first-home-buyer reach. The suburb's fundamentals — motorway and rail access, generous lot sizes, and an affordability gap to its immediate neighbours — all support further catch-up growth over the next 12–24 months.

As with the broader western corridor, buyers should do their own due diligence on flood overlay and industrial-neighbour proximity on a street-by-street basis; conditions vary meaningfully within the suburb and headline medians can mask that variation.
