Settlers Park
In 1888 five settlers applied to select the land which became Pacific Paradise. Of these, Frederick John Peatling applied for 160 acres south of the David Low Way. The area suffered extensive flood damage in 1893 and the resulting crop loss and financial hardships caused settlers, including the Peatlings to sell their freehold land and move away in 1898. In 1959/1960 Pacific Paradise Development Pty. Ltd. bought the Land and subdivided it into two subdivisions. Subdivision one of approx. 78 acres was acquired by Eddie DeVere and his wife in 1964. It was from this subdivision that a quarter of an acre (Settlers Park) was excised in 1975 at the request of the descendants of the Peatling family. Date named: 1 January 1975
