History

Belivah Provisional School opened circa 1874 and classes were held in a church. In September 1891 the residents were agitiating to relocate the school to a location closer to where more children lived, but Queensland Government did not wish to pay for a new provisional school. In March 1892 the residents commenced the construction of a new school themselves and the Queensland Government agreed to contribute £37 to complete the building. It was renamed Wolffdene Provisional School. On 1 January 1909 it became Wolffdene State School. It closed in 1935 but re-opened 15 February 1939. It closed permanently on 31 August 1942. It was located at 810 Beaudesert Beenleigh Road (27.7838°S 153.1862°E? / -27.7838; 153.1862? (Wolffedene State School (site))).In 1989, the Goss Government rejected a proposal to build Wolffdene Dam on the Albert River. Later, a dam near Glendower Homestead was once planned in a Queensland Government water strategy report from 1990. The option was discarded after it was revealed the site was too costly to build a dam for the amount of water it would have provided.In the 2011 census, Wolffdene had a population of 292 people.In the 2016 census Wolffdene had a population of 288 people.
