History

A Government land sale of eighty allotments was advertised for auction by W.E.Curtis June 6, 1882.[3] The map advertising the auction stated the allotments were down river a mile from Bundaberg and fronted Scotland Street, Princes Street and George Street, located near Cran & Co's Refinery and Manchester & Scott's Saw Mills.[4]

St Matthew's Anglican Church Bundaberg East was opened in 1906 and closed in 1975. It was sold because of population drift.[5]

In the 2011 census, Bundaberg East had a population of 2,810 people.[1]
