The western part of the locality is elevated and remains mostly vegetated. The strip of land between the lake and the mountains is mostly rural-residential.[3]

History

[edit]

Stanley River Provisional School opened on 26 January 1898 with an initial enrolment of 24 students.[9] On 1 January 1909, it became Stanley River State School. The school was on the eastern side of the Esk Kilcoy Road (approx 27°00′24S 152°33′14E / 27.0068°S 152.5538°E / -27.0068; 152.5538 (Stanley River State School (former))).[10][11][3]

In the 1920s, a 300-metre tramway was constructed in Hazeldean to move timber down a steep descent from mountain top to bottom.[12]

As parts of Hazeldean would be flooded following the completion of the Somerset Dam across the Stanley River, in 1951, it was necessary to plan for road re-alignments. As part of this, it was decided to relocate the Stanley River State School to higher ground. A new 5.5 acres (2.2 ha) was chosen for the new school site further south on the Esk Kilcoy Road and the school buildings including the teacher's residence relocated to the new site.[9][13] Down to 12 students enrolled, the school closed on 31 December 1973. On 9 July 1975, the Stanley River Field Study Centre opened in the school buildings, becoming the Stanley River Environmental Education Centre in 1990.[9][14]

Demographics

[edit]

In the 2011 census, the population of Hazeldean was 267.[15]

In the 2016 census, Hazeldean had a population of 262 people.[16]

In the 2021 census, Hazeldean had a population of 326 people.[1]
