History

Belivah Provisional School opened circa 1874 and classes were held in a church. In September 1891 the residents were agitating to relocate the school to a location closer to where more children lived, but Queensland Government did not wish to pay for a new provisional school. [4] In March 1892 the residents commenced the construction of a new school themselves and the Queensland Government agreed to contribute £37 to complete the building. [5] It was renamed Wolffdene Provisional School. On 1 January 1909 it became Wolffdene State School. It closed in 1935 but re-opened 15 February 1939. It closed permanently on 31 August 1942. [6] [7] It was located at 810 Beaudesert Beenleigh Road ( 27°47′02″S153°11′10″E / 27.7838°S 153.1862°E / -27.7838; 153.1862 (Wolffedene State School (site)) ). [8] [9]

In 1989, the Goss Government rejected a proposal to build Wolffdene Dam on the Albert River. Later, a dam near Glendower Homestead was once planned in a Queensland Government water strategy report from 1990. The option was discarded after it was revealed the site was too costly to build a dam for the amount of water it would have provided. [10]

In the 2011 census, Wolffdene had a population of 292 people. [11]

In the 2016 census Wolffdene had a population of 288 people. [1]
