Community Renewal in Caboolture East
Community Renewal began in Caboolture East on 1 July 2004. Caboolture East joined the renewal areas of Caboolture South and Deception Bay to form the Caboolture-Deception Bay renewal zone. Renewal activities will occur across the Caboolture-Deception Bay zone until 30 June 2009.
What’s happening now
Residents, government, community and business are working together to develop a Renewal Zone Plan, which will be a blueprint for Community Renewal activities in the Caboolture-Deception Bay zone.

About Caboolture East
The Caboolture area is the traditional home of the Kabi Aboriginal people and the name is derived from Kabi words ‘Kabul-tur’ meaning ‘place of the carpet snake’. Europeans first settled in the area in 1841. Timber was the principal industry in the early days, with red cedar providing a good income for timber getters. The discovery of gold at Gympie accelerated European settlement in Caboolture.
Australian Bureau of Statistics 2001 Census figures show the Caboolture East renewal area has a population of 4,727 with 1,138 families. Over a quarter (25.8 percent) are aged under 15 and 20.7 percent were born overseas. About 6.3 percent speak languages other than English and the Indigenous population is 2.9 percent.
