Beerburrum Community Hall

Beerburrum became a place of minor note when it was set aside for soldier-settler farming by the State Government in 1916. Over 24,000 ha were subdivided into more than 550 farm lots - the largest of Queensland's soldier-settler schemes. It was thought the hilly forest country suited fruit and pineapple growing. Notions of village settlement informed the project, proximity to North Coast railway line also a probable influence. The State Government also provided a training farm, butcher's shop and hall. By 1925 the farming scheme was in serious trouble; all the buildings were removed to other places after the scheme was abandoned in 1929.  Beerburrum has a general store, public hall, primary school (1918) and forestry office. The hall is the school of arts built before 1920.
