Over the past year it rose 5%, against a 7% rise across Sydney.
How much of a local wage the rent takes
A year of rent at the median takes 51% of one average local wage of $101,286, compared with 46% across Sydney. That is the 40th heaviest burden of 218 Sydney postcodes, above the city average. Housing costs above 30% of income are widely treated as housing stress; a household with two average wages would spend about 26%.
Wage: average salary and wages of all residents of 2156 in ATO Taxation Statistics 2023–24, indexed to 2026 with the NSW Wage Price Index. Renters usually earn less than the average resident, so the real burden for renters is likely higher.
Getting your bond back
Of the 54 bonds refunded in 2156 in January–September 2026, 70% went back to the tenant in full and 9% went entirely to the landlord or agent. Across Sydney the figures are 63% and 12%, so tenants here are more likely than average to get their whole bond back (rank 78 of 214, where 1 is the highest full-refund rate).
The median bond was held for 742 days, about 24 months, compared with 575 days across Sydney. Bond records don't say why money went to the landlord: it can cover damage, cleaning or unpaid rent.
