History

In about 1895, a frozen meat works was established at Parson's Point with production commencing on 24 May 1896. [4] The location was chosen for its access to Port Curtis for harbour facilities and the adjacent railway line. [5]

Concerned citizens at Parsons Point decided a school was needed for to cater for the meatworkers’ children. A provisional school was built at Parsons Point in 1898 and Parson's Point Provisional School opened on 1 August 1898. The provisional school became Parsons Point State School on 1 February 1913. A second site was offered for a new school – an acre of land adjacent to the road leading to the meatworks, about 400 yards from the present school. The new school was opened in 1915. In October 1934, land bordered by Little, Toolooa, Derby and Ann Streets was offered as a possible site for the relocation of the school. Finally, in 1945, the school was moved to its present location in Toolooa Street and renamed South Gladstone State School. [4] During the 1980s the name was changed from South Gladstone State School to Gladstone South State School to be consistent with the naming of other schools in Gladstone. The school swimming pool was built in the 1980s and Gladstone South is still the only primary school in the Gladstone city area that has its own swimming facilities. A school dental clinic was opened in 1981. [4]

Gladstone Water Treatment Plant opened in 1972 with an initial capacity to produce of 14 megalitres (490×10^3 cu ft) of drinking water each day. [6]

Toolooa State High School opened on 27 January 1981 with 11 teachers and almost 200 Year 8 students. [7] The name Toolooa is a reference to the Tulua people , the Aboriginal people who traditionally occupied the Gladstone area. [8]

In the 2016 census, South Gladstone had a population of 3,295 people. [10]
