Many of the streets in Woodlands are named after trees, such as oak, elm, birch, sandalwood and willow.

Jim Graham was the builder who made many of the original 1960s homes in this street on approximately a fifth of an acre blocks.

Churchlands was largely undeveloped except for the high school and Herdsman Lake was house free at this time, and remained so until the 1980s.

Woodlands Village provided essentials and was home to Freecorns, a butcher, a school uniform shop, and for a time a Shell petrol station.

This was closed due to repeated noise complaints; the walkway land was offered for sale to the adjoining residents.

Around 1980 a man made island was formed in Jackadder Lake to provide a safe have for nesting wildlife.

Ribbon development along Scarborough Beach Road in the north of Woodlands forms part of the Stirling Regional Centre and supplements local shopping.
