Bromelton, Queensland

Bromelton is a rural locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Bromelton had a population of 129 people.

The Beaudesert–Boonah Road (State Route 90) runs through from east to north.

Bromelton Post Office opened on 1 July 1927 (a receiving office had been open by 1883) and closed in 1938. In 1842, Hugh Henry Robertson settled a run at Bromelton, becoming the first European to reside in the Logan River valley.

Bromelton Provisional School opened on 25 October 1880. On 1 January 1909 it became Bromelton State School. It closed in 1953. It was on a 30-acre (12 ha) site on the western side of Sandy Creek Road (27°59′13″S 152°56′20″E / 27.9869°S 152.9389°E / -27.9869; 152.9389 (Bromelton State School (former))).

Allen's Creek Provisional School opened on 4 October 1927 and closed on 18 September 1929. It was a railway camp school and provided schooling for children of workers building the Sydney–Brisbane rail corridor. Allan's Creek (as it is currently spelled) crosses the railway line at the intersection of three present-day localities: Allenview, Bromelton and Gleneagle.

Bromelton railway station was served by a northbound XPT service to Roma Street and a southbound service to Sydney until that service closed in 1994. The station is to the north of Beaudesert-Boonah Road (27°58′14″S 152°55′34″E / 27.9705°S 152.9262°E / -27.9705; 152.9262 (Bromelton railway station)).

Bromelton State Development Area (SDA) was declared in 2008, covering 15,000 hectares of land approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) west of Beaudesert. About 1,800 hectares (4,400 acres) was earmarked for industrial development of regional, state and national significance, maximising the use of the area's existing standard gauge railway line which connects Bromelton to the Port of Brisbane, to other parts of Queensland, and to other states of Australia. Mirvac has commenced work on a site bordered by Sandy Creek Road and Beaudesert Boonah Road. The Bromelton SDA applications are reviewed by the Co-ordinator General for approval. The Scenic Rim Regional Council is responsible for operational works, clearing of vegetation, plumbing and Reconfiguration of Lots (ROLs) applications after the MCUs[clarification needed] have been approved by the Queensland Government.

In 2016, SCT Logistics commenced building a transport hub adjacent to the Sydney-Brisbane railway line. It opened in January 2017.
