Local HistoryA shared name with a different story
The name Peregian is thought to have First Nations origins and is widely associated with the meaning "emu". The spelling has been recorded in different forms, including "peregin" and "perrigan", although the exact linguistic origin remains uncertain. Some local records identify "Nguriun" as the Gubbi Gubbi word for emu. The name reflects the area's connection to Country, wildlife and the natural landscape that existed before European settlement.
Unlike the coastal village of Peregian Beach, Peregian Springs developed much later as a masterplanned residential community. The area was historically part of the broader rural landscape before transformation into a residential suburb from the late 1990s, with its identity now shaped by planned streets, schools, open spaces and the Peregian Springs Golf Club.
