History

When the town of Brisbane was first established, it was predominantly on the northern bank of the Brisbane River, but included some areas south of the river, including the ward of Kangaroo Point and the ward of South Brisbane, the area between Vulture Street and the river.[2]

The Queensland Government passed the Divisional Boards Act of 1879 in order to establish a system of Divisional Boards for the purpose of providing local government for portions of the colony outside the boundaries of municipalities. The first Divisional Boards were proclaimed on 11 Nov 1879. Although Woolloongabba Divisional Board was intended to be one of the first established, some delays occurred and it was not established until 9 Jan 1880.[3]

The role of a Divisional Board was to provide such public services as:[3]

  • transport, including roads and bridges
  • public health, including water, sanitation and drainage
  • public amenities, including parks and cemeteries, etc.

Divisional boards were intended to administer areas with lower and more sparse population than that of a municipality. However, population of the Woolloongabba Divisional Board grew rapidly as the result of the introduction of a railway line into South Brsibane. On 7 Jan 1888, the Borough of South Brisbane was proclaimed separate Municipal Institution. It combined the areas formerly part of the Division of Woolloongabba and the South Ward of the Municipality of Brisbane. However, the ward of Kangaroo Point remained part of the Town of Brisbane.[1][3]

Mayors

The voters elected aldermen to represent them. The alderman elected one of their number each year to be mayor; this election took place in February each year.
