Geography
Prior to 2010, Carole Park was a half residential and half industrial suburb with the Logan Motorway separating the two areas; the residential part was in City of Brisbane and the industrial part was in City of Ipswich, the result of Shire of Moreton being absorbed into Brisbane, Ipswich and Esk during the 1990s.[3] As of May 2010 the residential part of Carole Park was renamed Ellen Grove and allocated 4078 as their new Brisbane post code.[4] The remaining Carole Park is now purely used for industrial purposes and is within the City of Ipswich with the population at the 2011 Australian Census being nil.[2][1]
History
The suburb was not settled until the 1940s with the exception of a few farms.[3] Electricity was provided around 1965 and mains water in 1969.[3] The Queensland Housing Commission provided housing to residents in the 1970s.
