Questions
Is Biloela safe?
Queensland publishes crime figures by council area, not by suburb. Biloela is in the Banana council area, which recorded 1,450 violent offences per 100,000 residents in 2025-26, close to the Queensland rate (1,380) and about 13% higher than the national rate (1,280). A modelled estimate for Biloela itself is roughly 8,000 offences of all kinds per 100,000 residents a year (an estimate, not police figures). These are offences recorded by police per resident: they describe the area as a whole, not the risk on any particular street, and places with a busy centre record more because offences are counted where they happen.
