Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Windsor sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Windsor is policed by the Queensland Police Service Stafford Division, which also covers Everton Park, Kedron - Gordon Park, Stafford, Stafford Heights, Alderley and Grange and 2 more. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Windsor 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 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 Windsor 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 Windsor — 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.

- 201122%

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
11% of Windsor 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%
- Medium 5.5%
- Low 1.7%
- Very Low 4.0%
Windsor has been within a mapped flood extent before — in 2022, 2011 and 1974, with up to about 36% of the suburb inundated in the worst of those events. Council's flood-likelihood modelling maps about 11% of Windsor as flood-liable, roughly 5.8% of it in a high or medium likelihood band.
