Geography edit

The suburb is bounded to the west by Gardiner Road and to the south by Wuraga Road. The Logan River is a small section of the suburb's northern boundary.[4][5]

Just to the south of the river, Beenleigh railway line enters the suburb from the north-west (Edens Landing) and exits to the north-east (Beenleigh). The Logan River Road passes through the suburb from west (Beenleigh) to east (Waterford).[4]

Consistent with the rapid population growth between 2011 and 2021,[6][7][3] the land use in the suburb is predominantly residential in suburban-sized lots, although some areas of rural residential housing, crop growing, and grazing still remain.[8]

History edit

On 1 May 1975, Holmview was designed a locality by Queensland Place Names Board. It was designated as a suburb on 7 February 2003.[2] However, the name has a longer history with Holmview railway station being mentioned in railway timetables in 1886,[9] the railway line to Beenleigh having opened on 27 July 1885.[10] Despite its name, the railway station is now within the locality of Beenleigh.[11] There is an 1889 electoral roll listing for William Mann, a leaseholder at "Holmview, Beenleigh".[12][13]

Eden Landing's Seventh Day Adventist Church was built from brick in 1990.[14]
