Lockhart is a NSW suburb in Wagga Wagga LGA, matched to postcode 2656 — also covering Brookdale, Brookong, Fargunyah and nearby localities. New rental bonds in that postcode had a median weekly rent of $382 in 2025, up 17.5% from $325 in 2024. That is about 45% below the NSW median of $695. Bond medians describe new lodgements with Fair Trading, not every current lease in the suburb. Lockhart recorded 58 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, down 45.3% from 106 a year earlier. These are police-recorded incidents, not convictions, and they are not adjusted for how many people live or visit here. House bonds typically leased at $400 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $280 and $432 a week. Fair Trading recorded 24 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $185 to $382 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 29 and violent-related offences 12. Theft made up the largest published share (17 incidents, 29%). Next was Malicious damage to property (11). The crime series is coded to this suburb name; the rent series, where shown, is the whole postcode. The two windows are not identical: rents are calendar year, recorded crime is the 12 months to March 2026. Some person-offence categories are not itemised here because suburb geography under-counts them.
