Enoggera Reservoir
Enoggera Reservoir is well-off, but barely growing.
Enoggera Reservoir is among the more advantaged parts of Australia (SEIFA 2021, decile 9 of 10). The trade-offs: the population is barely moving; rents have climbed hard — up 36% between the 2016 and 2021 Censuses.
Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 47 and households on a median $1,624 a week at the 2021 Census.
Compiled from ABS regional population (SA2), the 2021 Census, SEIFA 2021, Queensland Police Service reported offences, Brisbane City Council flood awareness data, OpenStreetMap, Brisbane City Council parks and trails, TransLink timetables and Queensland Open Data.

Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Enoggera Reservoir sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Enoggera Reservoir is policed by the Queensland Police Service The Gap Division, which also covers The Gap, Ashgrove and Bardon. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Enoggera Reservoir specifically.
Most-reported offences · The Gap Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)1,053 /100k−60% vs QLD↑ 12%
- Unlawful Entry233 /100k−66% vs QLD↓ 48%
- Drug Offences230 /100k−86% vs QLD↑ 9%
- Assault221 /100k−79% vs QLD↑ 29%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle130 /100k−61% vs QLD↓ 4%
- Robbery18 /100k−60% vs QLD↑ 297%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole The Gap Division — not Enoggera Reservoir 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 The Gap Division over the last 12 months, running 60% below the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Enoggera Reservoir — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.

Flood risk
Brisbane City Council · updated August 2026Has this suburb flooded before, and how much of it does Brisbane City Council map as flood-liable? The historic extents are the ground truth; the likelihood bands are the council's modelling of how often flooding is expected.
Historic flood exposure
- 2022<1%
Share of the suburb inside each event’s mapped flood surface. These maps cover only the river and creek extents of those specific events — being outside them does not mean a property is flood-free.
Council flood-likelihood modelling
<1% of Enoggera Reservoir is mapped as flood-liable, split by how often flooding is expected. This layer dates from 2013 and reads conservatively for some riverside suburbs.
