Flagstone

History

Flagstone is situated in the Bundjalung traditional Indigenous Australian country. Towards the north of Flagstone is the Yugarabul traditional Indigenous Australian country of the Brisbane and surrounding regions. The suburb is named after Flagstone Creek which flows into the Logan River just south of Chadwick Drive in South Maclean. Suburban development started in Flagstone in 1996, with the development of nearby infrastructure and roads. On 24 April 1997, Flagstone was named by the Minister for Natural Resources as a neighbourhood within the Undullah and Jimboomba areas, though is now a bounded suburb and district in its own right, along with the Greater Flagstone district suburbs and developments of Flinders Lakes, Monarch Glen, Silverbark Ridge, Riverbend and Glenlogan. Flagstone State School opened on 22 January 1998. Flagstone State Community College opened on 1 January 2002. Development on the west section of the Sydney–Brisbane railway line began post-2011. On 20 May 2016, it was gazetted as a separate locality within the City of Logan. In late-2018, a large adventure playground was built. The Playground includes an 11m tower, and a skybridge. The project was reported to have cost $12 million. St Bonaventure's College opened in 2026 initially offering Prep to Year 3 and Year 7, but will expand to an all-years primary and secondary school over time.
