Tarragindi recorded 389 offences in the 12 months from 24 July 2025 to 23 July 2026, according to the local crime data attached to the charts.

The timing of the offences shows a clear pattern. The largest share, 177 offences, occurred between 10pm and 6am. There were 130 offences between 2pm and 10pm, while 82 offences were recorded between 6am and 2pm.

The hourly chart shows a clear late-night peak, with offences concentrated after dark.

Monthly and weekly patterns in the suburb

The figures also show monthly variation across the year. Offence numbers rose in January and again in June, while July and August were lower by comparison.

The day-of-week chart shows uneven activity across the week. Saturday appears to record the highest total, with Friday and Sunday also higher than the quieter midweek days. Wednesday appears to be the quietest day in the chart.

Taken together, the figures show that reported offences in Tarragindi were not spread evenly across the year, week or day.

Crime Stoppers warns of money traps

The Tarragindi figures come as Crime Stoppers Queensland is warning people about so-called money traps linked to organised crime.

In a media release dated 23 July 2026, Crime Stoppers Queensland said criminal networks are using fake job offers, social media messages and promises of easy money to recruit people into moving criminal funds.

The warning is aimed particularly at international students and temporary visa holders, but Crime Stoppers says the risk applies to everyone.

The key warning signs include unsolicited job offers promising easy money, requests to receive or transfer money through a personal bank account, requests to share banking details or allow someone else to use an account, and pressure to act quickly or keep financial arrangements secret.

Crime Stoppers Queensland CEO David Hansen said awareness is the strongest defence.

“Organised crime is increasingly using sophisticated tactics to lure ordinary people into what appear to be legitimate opportunities,” Mr Hansen said.

“Whether it’s a message on social media, an online job advertisement or someone asking to use your bank account, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”

Staying alert in Tarragindi

For Tarragindi residents, the message is simple: pause, check the facts and report anything unusual.

Crime Stoppers says anyone with information about suspicious criminal activity can report it safely and anonymously. The organisation also says talking about the warning signs with family and friends can help stop organised crime before it spreads.

Global real estate agency CBRE is offering The Learning Sanctuary Tarragindi, a purpose-built 95-place childcare centre at 200 Toohey Road, to the market as a premium freehold investment, with a long-term lease in place to G8 Education, Australia’s largest ASX-listed early childhood education provider.

The centre sits on a 1,363 square metre site adjacent to Wellers Hill State School, in one of Brisbane’s most consistently family-dense suburbs. It operates under a 15-year lease to G8 Education secured until 2035, with two further 10-year options extending to 2055, giving any incoming owner more than three decades of potential tenure with a nationally recognised operator. Expressions of interest close on 12 March 2026.

For Tarragindi families, the sale changes nothing in day-to-day terms. The centre continues to operate normally under G8’s Learning Sanctuary brand, which has operated from the Toohey Road site since the purpose-built facility opened its doors in early 2020. The listing is a straightforward property transaction, not a closure or change of service.

A Suburb Built for Families

The Learning Santuary listing reflects the suburb’s standing as one of Brisbane’s most sought-after family postcodes. Couple families with children make up 56 per cent of Tarragindi’s population, reinforcing the suburb’s appeal to those seeking quality schools and a supportive family environment. The centre’s median household income of $2,934 per week sits 59 per cent above the Greater Brisbane median, and the suburb’s median house price is 44 per cent above the Brisbane average, reflecting the depth of owner-occupier demand in this part of the southside.

Tarragindi’s boundaries are largely defined by the Southeast Freeway and Toohey Forest, with the main residential valley running north to south between Wellers Hill to the east and Tarragindi Hill to the west. Its position roughly seven kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, combined with easy access to the South East Busway and proximity to Wellers Hill State School, makes the Toohey Road site particularly well-located for working families.

The Learning Sanctuary itself is purpose-built across multiple levels, with extensive outdoor environments including a climbing fort, bike track, water play area, sandpits and a vegetable garden. Indoor spaces include a dedicated STEM room. It serves children aged six weeks to six years across long day care and kindergarten programmes, drawing families from Tarragindi, Nathan, Greenslopes, Holland Park West, Moorooka and Annerley.

Early Childhood Education as an Investment Class

The Tarragindi listing is part of a dual campaign run by CBRE, which has simultaneously listed a G8-leased centre in Cowra, New South Wales. CBRE reported almost $440 million in childcare investment sales nationally in 2025, reflecting sustained transaction activity in what the agency describes as a resilient investment sub-sector, underpinned by essential service status, long lease terms and consistent federal funding support.

G8 Education operates more than 430 centres across Australia under 21 brands, caring for around 50,000 children each week through a workforce of close to 10,000 staff. Australia will invest more than $16 billion in early childhood education and care in 2025–26, giving investors in long-leased assets a stable and reliable operating environment.

Brisbane will grow by 28 per cent to 3.288 million residents by 2035, and that growth will fuel strong demand for childcare places across established suburbs. In areas such as Tarragindi, where family households dominate and character residential zoning limits new supply, that demand is likely to remain strong.

Expressions of Interest

Expressions of interest for the Learning Sanctuary Tarragindi at 200 Toohey Road close on 12 March 2026. The campaign is managed by CBRE Senior Director Yosh Mendis and Director Michael Vanstone. Further information is available through CBRE’s commercial listing or by contacting the CBRE Brisbane through +61 1300 227 311.
