Kallangur is a suburb north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the Moreton Bay Regional Council. The area once belonged to Mrs. Griffin of Whiteside located west of Petrie which was acquired by a Scottish migrant by the name of Tom Petrie in 1855. The name Kallangur is originated from the Aboriginal word kalangoor, meaning a goodly or satisfactory place. [ [http://www.dovenetq.net.au/~piula/Placenames/page33.html Page Title ] ]

Kallangur grew in the early 1900's as it was on the main road route to the Redcliffe Peninsula before the construction of the Houghton Highway bridge in the 1930's. More recent development has been in response to the general housing demand in the northern growth corridor. A branch railway line between Petrie and the Redcliffe Peninsula has been proposed for several years to service Kallangur and the northern growth corridor.
