Taringa History Group Meeting Notices and Notes 2009 and 2010
1995 Aerial View of Taringa BCC Brisbane Images BCC-C120-9532.4 Taringa History Group Meeting Notices and Notes 2009 and 2010 Taringa History Group Taringa History Group Meeting Notices and Notes (2009 and 2010) Introduction Taringa’s potential as a residential suburb was recognised early in the life of the new Colony of Queensland. In the early 1860s 50 acres south of Moggill Road had been surveyed, sub-divided into house size lots and offered for sale. Marketed as the ‘West Milton’ Estate this name was also used in the western suburbs’ first postal contract secured by Alfred Roberts who ran a horse drawn omnibus to Brisbane. The opening of the railway in the 1870s spurred the building of homes and a number of businesses opened along the crest of Moggill Road. Something of a way stop this included a blacksmith, pub and grocery stores. In due course these would be joined by a school, places of worship, doctors surgery and private hospital, pharmacy, bakery, butchers, picture theatre, a masonic lodge and later service stations. The shopping and services strip became the centre of ‘village’ life, the hub of the local community. Importantly Taringa became the administration centre for local government when these authorities were formed by legislation in the late 1870s. The office for the Indooroopilly Divisional Board was built in the Moggill/Morrow Road split and subsequently extended to meet the needs of the Taringa Divisional Board, then the Taringa Shire Council as the local authority boundaries were progressively adjusted to reflect closer settlement in the inner suburbs. -

Explanatory Notes for Development Assessment Local Heritage Register Amendments to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Schedule 8 and 8A of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, and the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 became effective on 31 March 2008. All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

Designed in the traditional grid-like layout, popular in the Victorian era, the cemetery is demonstrative of the early European community’s need for burial grounds. The fabric, setting and context of the site are all important. The cemetery has distinct sections which show its evolution from a Victorian cemetery, established in the 1870s, to one that includes newer forms of burial, such as the war and lawn cemeteries. Within the cemetery grounds is an early and intact shelter built in 1891 and the sexton’s residence, a substantial interwar timber house on the corner of Gympie and Kitchener Roads. The cemetery has an important Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial section on the site which contains 386 World War II graves. Mature trees on the site, which include rows of Camphor Laurel and Cypress Pine trees, add to the site’s significance and visual appeal. History “Cemeteries not only help explain our past, they also provide a sense of continuity and identity. So our burial grounds reflect vital aspects of our social, religious, folk, architectural, literary and botanical history which are not found in such a combination in any other place.”1 1 After the declaration of Queensland as a colony, separate to New South Wales, in 1859, the new Queensland Government was anxious to increase the colony’s population and to encourage agricultural settlements. -

VVolol 53 49 PagePage 10 8 Blokes Playgroup. While "Men's Sheds" are commonplace in Australia’s Veteran's society, few, if any, can lay claim to a history going back close to the start of the millennium. One, operated by the RAAF Vietnam Veterans’ Association of WA Inc, can make that claim with the group marking their fifteenth year since coming into being as the "brainchild" of Vietnam Veteran Peter Robinson (right). Peter was with 9 SQN in Vung Tau from April 1969 to Feb 1970. Peter takes up the story: " in early 2001, our old washing machine spat the dummy. I went through the exercise and spent a bucket of money on a new one and almost threw the old one out, thinking, one day I'll get around to fixing that." Peter did fix the machine for the grand sum of $60.00. The next week he picked up three "dead" washing machines from the "council pick up" on the side of the road. He now had another problem: what to do with three washing machines that needed fixing. In no time at all, he had rounded up mates he served with to get together in his garage to fix washing machines. Many of the mates were ex RAAF; tradesmen so they "knew tools". Some of the Vets who heard about the operation on the grapevine and dropped in didn't. This is where Peter's motivation motto kicked in. 'Give a Vet a purpose in life and through that will grow the key elements: friendship, camaraderie and satisfaction." Peter continues, "a tradie and non tradie would team up in 'an on the job training exercise', and when one of the non tradies completed a task and the machine worked, the look on his face was priceless. -

The Friends’ GazeTTe The Newsletter of the Friends of the Queensland Police Museum 4th Quarter 2020 Edition FQPM President’s Message The AGM has again been conducted and I am pleased to advise that some new faces have been appointed along with the return of Superintendent Geoff Sheldon as vice president. Gerry Stevens and Kym Hyson are also added to the committee and I congratulate them and the returning members on their election to the management committee for the next 12 months. There is no doubt 2020 will be talked about for years to come and I am thankful that we were able to conduct some business despite the lack of travel. We have identified a number of projects for the immediate future and can sign off on the Constable George Doyle/Christian Dalke memorial at Tamrookum and the Constable Arthur Lowe headstone restoration at Toowong. I believe the FQPM support of Dr Anastasia Dukova’s work on the story of the police officers who joined the AIF will add a wonderful page to the history of the Queensland Police when published. Christmas 2020 will perhaps be a different experience for some of us this year as our country opens up and those who normally travel make those plans that will be permitted. Whatever your circumstances, can I trust that you have a peaceful Christmas and a happy and safe New Year. Bob Burns APM, President FQPM Replacement of Information Stand at the Seymour Family Grave at Toowong Cemetery Background The Seymour grave was at one time on the list of graves included in a tour of police graves at Toowong Cemetery. -

Some of her talk along with a few pictures from her powerpoint are reproduced in this newsletter . Canon David John Garland, Toowong Cemetery and the commemoration of ANZAC Day. Dr Hilda Maclean Canon David John Garland was no stranger to Christ Church, Milton or Toowong Cemetery. He had officiated at many civilian burial services there from 1910 and was present at the translation of the remains of Bishop Webber from the cemetery to the still-under-construction St John’s Cathedral in the same year.1 Garland was appointed senior army camp chaplain for Brisbane in 1915 and served in this role until his embarkation to the Middle East 1 in 1917. He was also Secretary of the Queensland Recruiting Committee and in this role Garland preached at Christ Church on Sunday night 16 May 1915, just one month after the disastrous Gallipoli landing, on the topic 'every man wanted.‘1 On Sunday 17 September 2016, Garland preached at Christ Church again on the subject of Conscription. He was an ardent supporter of conscription, co-founded the Compulsory Service League, and served on the Executive of the National Council for the Referendum.1 As part of his chaplaincy, Garland conducted a number of military burial services at Toowong Cemetery.
