}}Chevallum is a locality in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] It had a population of 441 at the 2016 Australian Census.[1]

Geography

Part of the western boundary of the suburb is marked by the Bruce Highway. Eudlo Creek, a tributary of the Maroochy River courses through the suburb.

History

The name Chevallum is believed to be a corruption of local Aboriginal words "cha-balan" meaning "flat place".[2]

Education

Chevallum State School opened on 1 November 1921.[3] It caters for student Prep to Year 6. [4] In 1924 it became a half-time school sharing a teacher with Ilkey State School. Later in 1924, it resumed as a full-time school.[5]

Economy

Chevallum is known for its strawberries and participates in the local Strawbfest. It has a local permaculture group devoted to organic and sustainable farming, which holds regular meetings at Chevallum School. Chevallum School is participating in a national educational reform called the "New Basics", which promotes "Futures Oriented" education based on active citizenship, life pathways, interaction with the environment, and communication.
