College View is a rural locality in the Lockyer Valley Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, College View had a population of 72 people.[1]
Geography
[edit]The locality is bounded to the north by Lockyer Creek and to the south by Gatton Laidley Road West.[3][4]
The Warrego Highway enters the locality from the north-east (Crowley Vale) and exits to the north-west (Lawes).[4]
The land use is predominantly irrigated horticulture with some grazing on native vegetation.[5]
History
[edit]The locality takes its name from the former Queensland Agricultural College (now the University of Queensland Gatton Campus) in neighbouring Lawes.[6]
On 28 August 1900, a public meeting was held to obtain a school in the district as there was an estimated 30 children who would attend. The Queensland Agricultural College offered 1 acre (0.40 ha) of its land (although this was subsequently increased as the Queensland Government thought more land was required for a school).[6] College View Provisional School opened on 26 August 1901 with Miss Lewis as headteacher.[7] On 1 January 1909, it became College View State School. A school residence was built in 1913.[8] The school closed in 1958.[9] It was at 5391 Warrego Highway, now within the locality of Lawes (approx 27°32′40″S 152°20′30″E / 27.54456°S 152.34162°E).[10][11][12]
Demographics
[edit]In the 2016 census, College View had a population of 84 people.[13]
In the 2021 census, College View had a population of 72 people.[1]
