History
Kareela was the first mixed-use estate developed by Stockland, developed in 1953. The estate was originally called Sylvan Headland. Sylvan Headland changed to Kareela almost exactly after the estate opened. Kareela is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘place of trees and water’ or alternatively ‘south wind’ or ‘wind rider’. The name for the suburb was approved by the Geographical Names Board in 1968. (wikipedia)
