William Jolly

William Jolly

William Alfred Jolly CMG (September 11 1881, Spring Hill, Brisbane - May 30 1955, Windsor, Brisbane) was the Mayor of Windsor Town Council from 1918 to 1923, and the first Lord Mayor of the Greater Brisbane City Council from 1925 to 1931.

In 1937 and 1940, he stood and was elected the UAP member for the Federal Division of Lilley. William Jolly retired from politics following his defeat in the 1943 general election.

During his time as Lord Mayor, Jolly was responsible for many civic developments, especially the arterial road network in Brisbane. The Grey Street Bridge (renamed the William Jolly Bridge shortly after his death) was built during his time in office.
