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]
