Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Collingwood Park - Redbank sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Collingwood Park - Redbank is policed by the Queensland Police Service Goodna Division, which also covers Carole Park, New Chum, Bellbird Park, Camira - Gailes and Goodna. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Collingwood Park - Redbank specifically.
Most-reported offences · Goodna Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)3,120 /100k+19% vs QLD↑ 8%
- Assault1,811 /100k+72% vs QLD↓ 3%
- Drug Offences1,736 /100k+4% vs QLD↑ 19%
- Unlawful Entry495 /100k−27% vs QLD↓ 31%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle399 /100k+18% vs QLD↓ 3%
- Robbery70 /100k+55% vs QLD↑ 26%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Goodna Division — not Collingwood Park - Redbank 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 Goodna Division over the last 12 months, running 19% above the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Collingwood Park - Redbank — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
