Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Rochedale - Burbank sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Rochedale - Burbank is policed by the Queensland Police Service Upper Mount Gravatt Division, which also covers Eight Mile Plains, Macgregor (Qld), Upper Mount Gravatt, Wishart, Robertson and Salisbury - Nathan and 1 more. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Rochedale - Burbank specifically.

Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Upper Mount Gravatt Division — not Rochedale - Burbank 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 Upper Mount Gravatt Division over the last 12 months, running 44% above the Queensland rate and flat on the year before. None of this is specific to Rochedale - Burbank — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
