Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Kedron - Gordon Park sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Kedron - Gordon Park is policed by the Queensland Police Service Stafford Division, which also covers Everton Park, Stafford, Stafford Heights, Alderley, Grange and Newmarket and 2 more. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Kedron - Gordon Park specifically.
Most-reported offences · Stafford Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)2,531 /100k−4% vs QLD↓ 5%
- Drug Offences1,601 /100k−4% vs QLD↓ 7%
- Unlawful Entry653 /100k−3% vs QLD↓ 24%
- Assault508 /100k−52% vs QLD↓ 1%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle388 /100k+15% vs QLD↑ 20%
- Robbery63 /100k+40% vs QLD↑ 80%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Stafford Division — not Kedron - Gordon Park 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 Stafford Division over the last 12 months, running 4% below the Queensland rate and down on the year before. None of this is specific to Kedron - Gordon Park — 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.

6.2% of Kedron - Gordon Park 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 <1%

- Very Low 2.9%
Kedron - Gordon Park has been within a mapped flood extent before — in 2022, with up to about 7.6% of the suburb inundated in the worst of those events.
