Deception Bay, Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deception Bay is a suburb north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the Moreton Bay Regional Council and is located approximately 32 km north of Brisbane in the south-eastern corner of the bay of the same name which separates the Redcliffe peninsula and Bribie Island.
Deception Bay was named in 1823 by Lt John Oxley, who thought the bay was a river and because of his mistake and the shallowness, named it Pumice Stone River; he later changed the name to Deception Bay.[1]
The name Deception Bay is often abbreviated to D-Bay much to the dismay of local residents. The suburb was previously plagued with crime and high unemployment during the 1980s and 1990s; however community problems subsided after 2001 due to development and population growth in the area.[2]
Deception Bay is also the name of a small bay in the west of Moreton Bay, south of Pumicestone Passage and north of the Redcliffe Peninsula. In the north of the bay at Beachmere is where the Caboolture River meets the ocean.
[edit] Settlement
The area was once large parcels of land supporting dairying and farming and, while some large blocks remain today, most have been subdivided to provide housing for a growing community.
At the Deception Bay Beachfront Pathway
In the past few years, the beachfront area has received a major re-design, under the urban renewal programme of the Queensland Government. The suburb also contains a new development area, North Rise. Bayswater Resort is a resort currently under construction in the Moreton Downs Estate. Neighbouring suburbs include Rothwell, Narangba and North Lakes.
A notable resident of Deception Bay was Dr Joseph Bancroft, a pioneer in experimenting in native plants for their health properties and, through his meatworks, in the preservation of meat, fish and vegetables. His son, Thomas, carried on the tradition with some work in cultivating cotton and castor oil. A rough-hewn pyramidal block of granite stands today on the foreshore highlighting the achievements of these two doctors, and the streets around Dr Bancroft's home, Joseph Street and Bancroft Terrace, are named in his honour.
Local residents are proud of the contribution the Bancroft Family made to the early development and progress of Deception Bay. Mrs Bancroft's bath, on the foreshore of the bay, can be visited.
On 15 March 2008, Deception Bay became a suburb of a new super council, Moreton Bay Regional Council. Deception Bay divided into two divisions, with the area of the suburb falling north of Deception Bay Road becoming a part of Division 2.
The suburb has one major high school, Deception Bay State High School, and three primary schools. There is one Catholic Primary School.
