Kearneys Spring is a suburb of Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, located 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of the city centre via New England Highway. At the 2011 Australian Census the suburb recorded a population of 7,348.
The suburb was named for a family who had a dairy farm in the area. An early irrigation scheme consisting of wooden pipes transported water from the springs, providing Tooowoomba's water supply.[2]
Kearneys Spring is divided into western and eastern portions by the wetlands formed by West Creek. Four small shopping centres are located in the suburb: Toowoomba K-Mart Plaza and The Ridge Shopping Centre (containing a Woolworths and an ALDI) on the east side, and Westridge and Uni Plaza (opposite University of Southern Queensland's main campus) on the west side.[3]
The Christian Outreach College is located in the east of Kearneys Spring.
