## History

### Establishment

White Rock was established as a locality on September 8, 2000 by the Minister of Natural Resources. The boundaries have since been changed twice in 2009 and once in 2015. The boundaries have remained the same since January 5, 2015.

### Whiterock development

Whiterock is a currently (as of January 2021) ongoing residential development in White Rock. It's being developed by Intrapac Property, a developer that's mostly worked in New South Wales and Victoria. The development is set to be built in the suburb's north-west, backing on to the White Rock — Spring Mountain Conservation Estate. The marketing for the land development is mostly aimed towards families with younger children as Intrapac plan to build a primary school, childcare centre, playground, medical centre and a shopping precinct. They also plan for outdoor venues such as a park, off-leash dog area and a children's water play area. However, the primary school is subject to the Queensland Government's approval and the water play area is subject to Ipswich City Council's approval.

As of January 2021, the titles for stage 1 (lots 101-197) of the development are estimated to be available for purchase sometime between October and December 2021 according to the official website. The titles for stage 2 (lots 201-242) are also estimated to be available for purchase between the aforementioned months. The titles for stage 3 (lots 301-342) are estimated to be available for purchase between January and March 2022.
