History
The Maleny Provisional School opened on 22 July 1897, becoming Maleny State School on 1 January 1909. It was renamed Maleny North State School in 1913 (probably because of the opening on Maleny Township State School in nearby Maleny) but closed in 1914. On 27 February 1922 it reopened as Maleny North Provisional School, becoming Maleny North State School on 4 July 1927. It finally closed in 1953.[4]
The Baroon Pocket Dam was officially opened by Queensland Premier Mike Ahern on 28 July 1989.[5]
In the 2016 census North Maleny had a population of 621 people.[1]
Attractions
