Kairabah is a former rural locality in the City of Logan, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Kairabah had "no people or a very low population".[1] In 2025, it was incoporated into its neighbouring suburb, Yarrabilba.[3][4][5]
History
On 28 November 2014, a portion of Yarrabilba was excised to create a new locality, Kairabah.[6] The name Kairabah was proposed by Lendlease from a suggestion by the Yugambeh Museum. It means "Place of White Cockatoo" and is derived from the Yugambeh language.[2]
On 18 July 2025, following a period of public consultation, it was decided to incorporate Kairabah into the locality of Yarrabilba in order to have a single locality name for the whole of Yarrabilba Priority Development Area.[3][4][5]
