Geography

[edit]

Bonogin is on the edge of the Gold Coast hinterland.[3] It is about 81 kilometres (50 mi) away from Brisbane.[4]

History

[edit]

The origin of name is not known, but it is speculated that it is derived from the Aboriginal word Boonoo meaning red bloodwood.[5]

European settlement commenced in the 1870s. The early industries were timber cutting and dairying. Later bananas were grown.[5]

Approval was given to establish a school in 1913.[6] Bonogin Creek State School opened on 7 July 1913. There were closures due to teacher shortages in 1917 and 1921. The school finally closed on 30 March 1924.[5][7] The school was on Bonogin Road (approx 28°08′34S 153°20′03E / 28.14291°S 153.33413°E / -28.14291; 153.33413 (Bonogin State School (former))).[8] The school building was relocated to Wunburra (near Springbrook) in 1934.[9]

In the 1980s, some of the farms were subdivided to form acreage residential developments.[5]

[edit]

In the 2011 census, Bonogin had a population of 4,182 people.[10][4]

In the 2016 census, Bonogin had a population of 4,573 people.[11]

In the 2021 census, Bonogin had a population of 4,896 people.[1]

Bonogin Creek

[edit]

Part of the City of Gold Coast's Beaches to Bushland volunteer restoration program includes Bonogin Creek. The primary tributary of the creek begins in the Gold Coast hinterland. A hinterland regional park bushcare group was established in 1999 to address conservation of local plant species and also attempt to restore natural habitat of the creek. Davenport Park is a suburban park running along a lower point of the creek, within suburban Bonogin. In 2013 Bonogin Valley bushcare group formed to help with restoration of the park and creek area.[13]

Amenities

[edit]

The Gold Coast City Council operates a fortnightly mobile library service which visits Davenport Park on Bonogin Road East.[14]
