    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.

    DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT Leavenworth's 45-block downtown was planned in 1854 and in its first two decades commerce boomed. Most of the City's early stores were built in "blocks" with multiple storefronts and common upper areas. Many of these magnificent structures are gone and some that remain are the lower floors left after fire, tornado and neglect took their toll on their upper levels. Infill is evident nearly everywhere and pavement replaced buildings as the demand for off street parking grew, especially after World War II. Examples of block-style development are still evident today are the O'Donnell Block at 100 S. 5th Street, the Masonic Temple at 421 Delaware, the Yum block at 311-321 S. 5th Street and the intact block of commercial stores in the 600 block of Cherokee Street. There are 65 contributing properties in the district, mostly constructed of red brick with cast iron and terra cotta trim features. Their architecture is described as "high style" with Colonial and Classical revival variations reflective of their era. Two were previously placed on the National Register of Historic Places (429 and 500 Delaware Street). Knights of Columbus Block, 331 Delaware Street c. 1882; c. 1945 This three-story building has a corner entrance that is canted at both stories. The façade of this late 19th Century building was significantly altered in the 20th Century. Divisions are created through the use of brick stringcourses and by alternating different colors of brick and large, cast stone tiles. Commercial storefronts occupy the first story and are divided into three bays on the Delaware Street façade.
