Gagalba is a rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[1]
Gagalba is situated in the Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi) traditional Aboriginal country.[2] The name Gagalba means shining place in the Gubbi Gubbi and Butchulla (Badtjala) languages.
On 14 June 2019, parts of the localities of Bells Creek and Meridan Plains were excised to create the localities of Banya, Corbould Park, Gagalba and Nirimba to accommodate future suburban growth in the Caloundra South Priority Development Area.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
