Kunda Park is an industrial suburb of Buderim in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] Kunda Park had a population of 27 people in the 2016 census and 22 people in the 2021 census.[1][3]
Geography[edit]
The northern boundary of Kunda Park follows Eudlo Creek, a tributary of the South Maroochy River. In the northwest Eudlo Creek Conservation Park preserves a large section of uncleared land along Eudlo Creek. There is a small area of grazing land near the conservation park. Apart from that, the suburb is industrial.[4]
History[edit]
The area was formerly known locally as Crete. The township of Kunda Park was named by the Queensland Place Names Board on 1 May 1975. The name Kunda is believed to be the Kabi language word gunda or konda, meaning cabbage tree palm.[2]
Compared to the Sunshine Coast region, Kunda Park has a higher rate of theft-based crime, with approximately 2,391 incidents per 100,000 residents.[5]
