Bahrs Scrub is an urban locality in the City of Logan, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Bahrs Scrub had a population of 4,508 people. [3]
Bahrs Scrub was until recently a sparsely populated suburb, characterised by large hills with heavy vegetation cover, and acreage properties scattered throughout. In the last decade the suburb has experienced strong residential growth following decisions by Logan City Council to rezone parts of the suburb [4] . The area is being planned to contain a total of 10,000 people that effectively manages housing, retail, commercial and community centres, public transport and the environment [4] .
The main development in the suburb is the Brookhaven development being delivered by Frasers Property [5] . There are smaller disconnected subdivisions which are being developed towards the eastern portion of the suburb.
The Beaudesert–Beenleigh Road runs along the eastern boundary. [6]
As the name suggests, the area was originally scrub land. The origin of the name is less clear. It has been attributed to early German settlers, Carl Wilhelm Bahr and his son, Wilhelm Bahr. [7] The earliest references to the location call it Jimmybark Scrub [8] and the nearby hill Bark Hill (now Bahrs Hill), so the current names may be a corruption of these. [9]
Bahr's Scrub State School opened circa July 1919. It closed in 1929 due to low student numbers. [10]
Windaroo Valley State High School opened on 1 January 1994. [11]
