The prestigious institution has secured an 8.7-hectare parcel of land from developer ID_Land, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive educational precinct that will serve up to 1,800 students by 2035.
The project will roll out in carefully planned stages, beginning with an early learning centre and primary school accommodating Prep to Year 3 students from January 2026. The campus will progressively expand year by year, ultimately offering a complete educational journey from early learning through to Year 12.
Students at the new campus will benefit from state-of-the-art specialist facilities, including dedicated spaces for music, science, industrial design, performing arts, and food technology.
Plans also include extensive sporting facilities, with plans for a sports field and an indoor sports centre. A resource centre, library, and auditorium will round out the academic infrastructure, creating a comprehensive learning environment.
Community integration stands at the heart of the project, with plans for a community centre that will host playgroups, after school care, and church activities. This aligns with the school’s vision of creating community-focused educational hubs in high-growth areas around Brisbane.
The new campus will be strategically located within ID_Land’s Dawn Walloon Master Plan area, a thriving development that has already welcomed more than 230 new households since 2021. This residential growth, part of a broader plan for over 1,000 houses, underscores the increasing demand for quality education in the region.
The Walloon campus builds on King’s Christian College’s strong track record of successful expansion, following the establishment of its original Reedy Creek campus in 1980, Pimpama campus in 2015, and most recently, the Logan Village campus in 2020.
