Geebung, Queensland
Geebung is a northern suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Geebung had a population of 4,850 people.
The suburb is centred on its railway station on the Caboolture railway line.[citation needed]
The suburb takes its name from its railway station, which in turn was named after the fruit of the plant Persoonia media, known as "jibung" in the Dharuk language.
The Geebung Baptist church was initiated with a stump capping ceremony on Saturday 7 February 1925, prior to this services had been held in the war memorial hall. On Saturday 14 February 1925, the church was opened in a ceremony attended by 150 people. It was made of weatherboard and could seat about 100 people. The church (including fencing, the organ, the seating etc.) cost £543/12/0 having spent £80 for the land. A new church was built in 1969. In May 2012 the Geebung Baptist congregation merged with the Sandgate Baptist congregation, selling their existing churches and establishing a new church, Connect Baptist Church at Deagon. In August 2013, the Geebung Baptist church was purchased by the Tonga Houʻeiki Church for $1.5 million, although the decision to purchase was controversial within the Tongan congregation.
During World War II, the southern piece of Geebung was host to the Chermside Army Camp, which occupied land that includes part of the present day Marchant Park. Two years after the war, ISAS (Industrial Sales and Service) assembled war surplus Nissen huts for their business on Robinson Road in north Geebung. In 1949, the Brisbane City Council zoned that territory for general industry.
Geebung State School opened on 27 January 1953.
Geebung Methodist Church opened in 1955 at 38 Railway Parade (corner of Bayview Terrace, 27°22′07″S 153°02′47″E / 27.3687°S 153.0463°E). In 1977, it became part of the Uniting Church in Australia, following the amalgamation of many Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches. A new Geebung Uniting Church was opened in Simla Avenue on 1 October 1983 by the Moderator of the Queensland Uniting Church, Lewis Born. The 1955 church building is still extant and, as at 2021, is occupied by the Endeavour Foundation which provides disability support services.
St Kevin's Catholic Church opened at 251 Newman Road opened on 6 May 1962.
