Holland Park West
Holland Park West is well served day-to-day, but far from a train.
Holland Park West is well served for the everyday — 3 schools; among the more advantaged parts of Australia (SEIFA 2021, decile 9 of 10). The trade-offs: the nearest train station is a fair way off (Fairfield, about 3.7 km).
Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 36 and households on a median $2,196 a week at the 2021 Census.
Compiled from ABS regional population (SA2), the 2021 Census, SEIFA 2021, RTA median rents, 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 Holland Park West sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Holland Park West is policed by the Queensland Police Service Holland Park Division, which also covers Holland Park, Mansfield (Qld) and Mount Gravatt. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Holland Park West specifically.
Most-reported offences · Holland Park Division, last 12 months

Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Holland Park Division — not Holland Park West 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 Holland Park Division over the last 12 months, running 15% below the Queensland rate and down on the year before. None of this is specific to Holland Park West — 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
- 20223.1%
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
6.5% of Holland Park West is mapped as flood-liable, split by how often flooding is expected. This layer dates from 2013 and reads conservatively for some riverside suburbs.
- High 3.6%
- Medium <1%
- Low <1%
- Very Low 1.2%
Holland Park West has been within a mapped flood extent before — in 2022, with up to about 3.1% of the suburb inundated in the worst of those events. Council's flood-likelihood modelling maps about 6.5% of Holland Park West as flood-liable, roughly 4.4% of it in a high or medium likelihood band.
