Wavell Heights History

The Wavell Heights area has strong Aboriginal history, evidenced by important sites such as the bora ring at Nudgee Waterhole. Following European settlement, Wavell Heights was orignally known as West Nundah until 1941, when the Brisbane City Council renamed it to honour Field Marshall Lord Wavell in the Second World War.

Early days saw it settled by farmers producing pineapples and dairy. Following the war, the influx of returning servicemen led to a surge in housing development, as well as other amenities to make Wavell Heights truly feel like home. 1948 alone saw the construction of both Wavell Heights State School and a community centre that included a hall, kindergarten, court, girl guide and scout huts, bowling green and tennis courts.

Things to do in Wavell Heights

Wavell Heights is a wonderful suburb for young families, as there’s just so much to do. St Paschal’s Parish hosts a Hand-Made Craft Market on the first Saturday of every month, where you can buy jewellery, baby gifts, decor, baked goods, plants and more. Relax with a coffee (or hot chocolate) at Cafe Noma, with Brisbane’s best Babycino just for kids.

Several excellent schools call Wavell Heights home. Our Lady of the Angels Primary School, Wavell Heights State School and Wavell State High School offer both high-quality education and a range of events and extracurricular activities for students and parents to get involved with.

For couples or older residents, new and established coffee establishments such as Shutter Brew and Retro Expresso will tantalise you with coffee aromas and breakie delicacies. A family favourite of waffles and ice cream can be enjoyed on a lazy Sunday. Residents have likened the “neighbourhood feel” to that of Teneriffe and New Farm, comparing it to the village feel with a city vibe that the suburbs are renowned for.
