Geography
Part of the western boundary is marked by the Mooloolah River which flows eastwards across Glenview towards the coast. The Bruce Highway forms the eastern boundary, and the Steve Irwin Way (State Route 6) passes from south to east, where it intersects with and crosses the Bruce Highway to become Caloundra Road.[3]
Glenview has the following mountains:
- Meridan Hill (26.7903°S 153.0341°E) 140 metres (460 ft)[4][5]
- Mount Sippy (26.7478°S 153.0246°E) 180 metres (590 ft)[4][6]
History
Mooloolah Plains Provisional School opened in 1878. In November 1879 it became a half-time school in conjunction with Mooloolah Bridge Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher between the two schools). Mooloolah Plains Provisional School closed in late 1881 but reopened in 1883 once again in half-time conjunction with Mooloolah Bridge Provisional School. In July 1888 Mooloolah Plains Provisional School became a full time school. On 1 January 1909 it became Glenview State School.[7]
The name Glenview for the Queensland locality originated from a post office proposition in 1909. It adopted its name, replacing the earlier and misleading name, Mooloolah Plains for the area.
Glenview Par 9 Golf Course opened in 1991.
