Development

Pullenvale started out as an area useful only for its resources of timber and became an early logging area. This changed due to the addition of the Moggill Rd that would act as a link between Brisbane though Moggill to Ipswich. As the road was built the area became accessible and the timber industry gave way to small crop farming and dairying thereby causing an influx in population and the establishment of the Pullenvale State School in 1873. This caused a rural residential style of living to emerge and the school was rebuilt in 1981 to cater for the increasing population density.
