  • Sallyanne Atkinson AO Podcast Transcript Wendy Love
    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.

  • 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.
