Geography

[edit | edit source]

As of March 2024, Yarrabilba consists of ten (10) neighbourhoods; The Avenues, Birnam Views, Mallee Pocket, Oak Leaf, The Parks, The Retreat, Sandstone Ridge, Sunrise Crossing, Vista, and Wickham Rise.[7]

The Darlington Parklands are located between the Oak Leaf and Vista neighbourhoods on the corner of Darlington Drive and Yarrabilba Drive.[8]

History

[edit | edit source]

Before European settlement, which began around 1862, the land was occupied by the Wangerriburra Clan of the Yugambeh language group. The name Yarrabilba comes from the Wangerriburra/Bundjalung language for place of song. The area contained two bora rings where ceremonies involving singing took place.[2]

The Beaudesert railway line passing through the area to Canungra operated from 1915 to 1955.[9]

During World War II the military training base Camp Cable was built between Logan Village and Tamborine, and included much of the land now part of Yarrabilba.[10]

Formerly in the Shire of Beaudesert, Yarrabilba became part of Logan City following the local government amalgamations in March 2008.

In 2010, it was announced that Yarrabilba would be the location for a future city which is expected to contain 20,000 dwellings housing up to 50,000 people.[11] Two other new urban centres were to be established at Greater Flagstone also in Logan City and Ecco Ripley in the City of Ipswich.[citation needed]

In 2011, development began for the new urban precinct.[12] Lend-Lease was granted approval for the development of the first 93.2-hectare (230-acre) stage of the project.[citation needed]

On 28 November 2014, a portion of Yarrabilba was excised to create a new locality, Kairabah.[2][13]

St Clare's Catholic Primary School opened in 2017.[14][15]

Yarrabilba State School opened on 1 January 2018.[16][17]

Yarrabilba State Secondary College opened on 1 January 2020.[16][18]

San Damiano College opened in 2021, initially offering Year 7 schooling.[19]

On 18 July 2025, following a period of public consultation, it was decided to incorporate the neighbouring locality of Kairabah into Yarrabilba in order to have a single locality name for the whole of Yarrabilba Priority Development Area.[4][5][6]
