Now that I am older and hopefully wiser all I can say is thank goodness Melbourne and Sydney rejected the off er to host and therefore gave Queensland this magnifi cent opportunity to host this global event. I do often wonder what Brisbane would be like if Expo 88 hadn’t happened. Would we still have be able to enjoy the ever transforming South Bank Parklands? Personally I don’t think we would.

    1 Where I Belong Episode 3: Sallyanne Atkinson AO Podcast transcript ______________ Wendy Love: Imagine it’s Saturday afternoon. The sun is shining over Brisbane, there’s a gentle breeze – a perfect day to head to South Bank for an early dinner al fresco on Little Stanley Street and go for a walk along the river. You stroll up Queen Street and over the Victoria Bridge, but when you get to the other side (crickets chirping)…there are no restaurants in sight, no lagoons to swim in, no parklands or playgrounds, no Wheel of Brisbane. Just an all-but-abandoned industrial hub of old wharves and warehouses, and an unused stretch of grassy riverbanks. Hard to imagine, right? But not that long ago, in the early 1980s, South Bank as we know it didn’t exist. The banks of the Brisbane River were dotted with industrial buildings, and this blows my mind, outdoor dining was banned in the city. But that all changed thanks in large part, to the vision of this woman… Sound courtesy of SEVEN NEWS Flashback: The Battle for City Hall Sallyanne Atkinson: I’m proud and as I said I do feel slightly overwhelmed. News Reporter: Earlier, Liberal Leader Sallyanne Atkinson seemed overwhelmed that she had won the Lord Mayoralty with such a large majority. WL: In 1985, Sallyanne Atkinson was elected Lord Mayor of Brisbane. She was the first Liberal Mayor after 24 years of Labor. Not only that, she was also the very first, and to date only, female Lord Mayor of Brisbane. Sallyanne was 42 at the time, and she had a lot of ideas for Brisbane.

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.

  • Museum of Brisbane Occupies a Unique Rooftop Vantage Point Atop the City’S Most Significant Heritage Building, Brisbane City Hall
    Applicant Information Description of Facilities 2 2014/2015 Annual Report 3 Exhibition Report Example William Bustard: Painting with Light 31 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES Museum of Brisbane occupies a unique rooftop vantage point atop the city’s most significant heritage building, Brisbane City Hall. Completed during the building’s 2009-2012 restoration, this custom built 1800 square metre museum space opened in 2013. A mixture of galleries and public spaces wrap around the building’s copper dome creating a contemporary environment that maximises the heritage appeal of its location. From the Museum’s reception accessible via two lifts from the ground floor of City Hall, visitors can take a trip up the iconic Clock Tower (in Australia’s oldest manually operated cage lift) or browse the Museum shop which specialises in locally sourced artisanal objects and merchandise inspired by the Museum collections and exhibitions. A small cloakroom is also available for Museum visitors. The Museum’s maintains an optimal museum standard environment throughout its gallery spaces with a contemporary VESDA system and LED lighting system. Display spaces include 2 major galleries (Gallery 1 and 2 - 300 square metres each) and 5 small gallery spaces ranging between 80 – 90 square metres. Currently Gallery 2 and two of the smaller galleries have been merged to accommodate the Museum’s new semi-permanent exhibition 100% Brisbane.

  • 1 Kathryn Talbot, '“A Fun Time for Everyone”?: the Shifting Intergovernmental Relations of Expo '88' Centre for the Go
    Kathryn Talbot , ‘“A fun time for everyone”?: The Shifting Intergovernmental Relations of Expo ‘88’ Centre for the Government of Queensland Summer Scholar Journal , 2, 2011-12 In 1991, Brian Littleproud, Member for Condamine (1983-92), stated that ‘Expo was a fun time for everyone’.1 For the thousands who enjoyed the treats that South Bank’s biggest celebration had to offer, this could definitely be the case. Not for one James (Jim) Soorley, however. This former Lord Mayor of Brisbane (1991-2003) has a rather different memory of Expo 88, one fraught with intergovernmental tension and private frustrations. He calls it a ‘traumatic relationship’ whereby ‘[the State government] would dominate and tell us what to do’ 2. Soorley describes a traditional teacher-student relationship as occurring between the state and local governments, but closer examination of the era produces more complicated results. The following seeks to discuss this shifting relationship between the state and local governments in the lead-up to and execution of Expo 88, with specific reference to the redevelopment of the South Bank site. This paper will be structured in two chronological parts, the first detailing the years 1982-86, when a cursory glance would show the state and local governments occupying a master-servant relationship built on private and secretive political bargaining. However, a closer perusal highlights how the state relied heavily on its local counterpart, showing how the latter (in Brisbane’s case) held more power than first assumed. The second section will detail the years 1986-89, where the local government acquired a type of ascendancy through public outcry, coinciding with Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s deposing and resignation amid the fallout from the Fitzgerald Inquiry.
