History of Bellmere

Some believe that the name ‘Bellmere’ originated from Arthur John Bell, a landowner in the local area. He donated two acres of his land to the Queensland Government on which the original Bellmere State School was built and opened in 1913.

Bellmere dates back to the early settlement period when pioneers first established agricultural and trading communities. Over the years, Bellmere has evolved into a vibrant residential neighbourhood.
