Belivah Provisional School opened circa 1874 and classes were held in a church. In September 1891, the residents were agitating 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 (). 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. == Demographics ==
