Kings Beach origins go back to 1875 when Robert Bulcock, a prominent Brisbane identity, selected an area, including Kings Beach. 1917 saw the first subdivision at the now southern end of Kings Beach. Subsequently, the Metropolitan Surf Club was built and patrolling began in 1933. Post WWII saw phenomenal growth of the future beach suburb – with homes being generally high set, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home. Greater population and demand in the 1970’s saw the new revolution to the beach-side unit because of affordability and convenience.
“How things have changed in 40 years!. I expect to see this great beach suburb change significantly again in the years to come.” **
** The Author of this suburb profile, David Millar, developed and sold these units in 1978 at 8 Dingle Avenue, which sold in a range from $37,000 to $45,000.**
