Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Bellbowrie - Moggill sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Bellbowrie - Moggill is policed by the Queensland Police Service Indooroopilly Division, which also covers Brookfield - Kenmore Hills, Indooroopilly, Pinjarra Hills - Pullenvale, Toowong, Fig Tree Pocket and Chapel Hill and 4 more. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Bellbowrie - Moggill specifically.

Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Indooroopilly Division — not Bellbowrie - Moggill on its own; the arrow compares the last 12 months with the 12 before.
Of these categories, other theft is reported most across the whole Indooroopilly Division over the last 12 months, running 29% below the Queensland rate and flat on the year before. None of this is specific to Bellbowrie - Moggill — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
