A timber chapel was built in 1849 facing Limestone St and a brick chapel was built in 1858 by Samuel Shenton, facing Ellenborough St. It was extended to the east in 1863 to a design by Benjamin Backhouse including a gallery with seating for 130 people. In 1892 the transepts and a vestry designed by Henry Wyman were added. The pipe organ installed in 1905 was rebuilt in 1977 and a side porch was added in 1924. A two-storey parsonage was built by Samuel Shenton to the north of the church in 1864. The building was damaged by fire in 1920 and was renovated, then extended forward and extensively altered in 1958 to convert it to offices known as Wyvern House. The present-day Sunday School Hall was built in 1877, the Young Men's Hall in 1921 and the second parsonage, now used as a day respite care centre, was built in 1958. The church is the oldest surviving church in continuous use in Queensland and a rare example of a church built prior to Separation. It is an example of a simple Revival Gothic church building.

Bottomley. The grounds of his home were often used for fund-raising events such as garden parties. The house remained in the Bottomley family until it was purchased by the Ipswich Club in 1959.

The ‘old graveyard’ established in 1844 is reputed to have been located in the south- western corner of the present cemetery. By 1855 it had been abandoned and a new cemetery was established nearby. The headstones and the stories that they tell form an important part of Ipswich heritage. Source:Picture Ipswich, Ipswich City Council Page | 5 Ipswich City Council, Planning and Development Department, Strategic Planning Branch, 2017 Ipswich Girls Grammar School Suburb: Ipswich Location: Queen Victoria Parade Installed: 8 August 2007 Plaque Text The Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School was the last of the non-denominational grammar schools to be established in Queensland. The original building was designed by George Brockwell Gill. The school opened to students on 1 February 1892 with an enrolment of 31 girls under the charge of the first Headmistress, Miss Fanny E. Hunt. In 1892 a gymnasium, play shed, stables, fences, roads and trees were added to the school grounds. Amongst the trees planted at this time were those lining the main driveway, forming an avenue consisting of Weeping Figs, Moreton Bay Figs and Camphor Laurels. The gatekeeper’s lodge was built in 1892 by Worely and Whitehead to the design of George Brockwell Gill. In 1901 the original school building was extended on its northern side, giving the school a symmetrical frontage and adding a decorative lantern in the northern wing. In 1952 the current gates to the school were opened as the Estelle Cribb Memorial Gates. Estelle was a former student who later became a teacher here after completing University studies in Sydney. The Cribb family has had a strong association with IGGS from its beginnings, Thomas Bridson Cribb M.L.A. being the first Chairman of the Board of Trustees of IGGS. The Cribb’s have served as Trustees on the Board until recently. The assembly hall which was designed by architect Karl Langer opened in 1968. In 1991 a replica building was constructed on the western side of the old lodge as a small theatre auditorium. Since 1995 several new complexes have been added to the grounds including the gymnasium on the south-west portion of the school.

It was officially opened by the Governor of Queensland Sir George Ferguson Bowen on 23 September 1863 with sixteen students enrolled in the first year. The original school building was designed by Benjamin Backhouse and was built by Ferguson and McLaughlin. Western extensions to this building were designed by F.D.G Stanley and G.B. Gill and constructed in 1877 and 1921. A new classroom block was designed by Dr Karl Langer and completed in 1961.

Page | 8 Ipswich City Council, Planning and Development Department, Strategic Planning Branch, 2017 Karragaroo Suburb: Eastern Heights Location: 8 Karragaroo Street Installed: 15.08.2019 Plaque Text Karragaroo was built in 1884 for Ambrose Foote, who was the son of John Clarke Foote, partner of Benjamin Cribb in the iconic Ipswich department store of Cribb & Foote. The house is of brick construction and originally stood on about 10 acres of land on one of the highest points of the town. In 1919 after the death of Ambrose Foote the estate was subdivided and the house sold to Ipswich photographer Frank Arthur Whitehead. After his death in 1943 it passed through a series of owners before the house was turned into eight flats in the 1950s. Karragaroo was restored to its original state in 2006.

The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.

  • Arrival of South Sea Islanders in Queensland
    ARRIVAL OF SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS IN QUEENSLAND The Courier, Tuesday 18 August 1863, page 5 The schooner Don Juan, the arrival of which was noted in our issue of yesterday, is from the group of islands in the Pacific named the New Hebrides. She brings a number of the natives of those islands to be employed as laborers by Captain Towns on his cotton plantation, on the Logan River, at the remuneration of 10s. per month, with rations, as is currently reported. We understand that there are sixty‐seven natives on board, and that one man died on the passage. The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 22 August 1863, page 6 Brisbane, Arrival. August 15. – Don Juan, from South Sea Islands. The schooner Don Juan, Captain Grueber, left Erromanga on the 4th instant, sighted Moreton light at 3 o’clock on Friday morning, rounded Moreton Island at 8 a.m., and anchored off the lightship at 9 p.m. During the passage she experienced a fine S.E. breeze and fine weather until the 12th instant, when the wind changed and blew a heavy gale from the N.E. The Don Juan has on board in all seventy‐three South Sea Islanders for Captain Towns’ cotton plantation. One of the islanders died on Saturday last from exhaustion caused by sea sickness. He was buried on Mud Island. The agreement made with these men is, that they shall receive ten shillings a month, and have their food, clothes, and shelter provided for them. – Queensland Guardian, August 18, The North Australian, 20 August 1863 The arrival of the Don Juan, schooner, at the port of Brisbane, with sixty‐seven natives of the New Hebrides, to, be employed on Captain Towns Cotton Plantation at the Logan River, would under any circumstances be an addition to the population of the colony worthy of more than ordinary notice.

    AUSTRALIAN ROMANESQUE A History of Romanesque-Inspired Architecture in Australia by John W. East 2016 CONTENTS 1. Introduction . 1 2. The Romanesque Style . 4 3. Australian Romanesque: An Overview . 25 4. New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory . 52 5. Victoria . 92 6. Queensland . 122 7. Western Australia . 138 8. South Australia . 156 9. Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • Submisssion Queensland Floods Commision of Enquiry
    SUBMISSSION QUEENSLAND FLOODS COMMISION OF ENQUIRY By KEN ALDERTON Page 2 1. SUMMARY This submission addresses the Commission‘s term of reference (g), namely: ‗all aspects of land use planning through local and regional planning systems to minimise infrastructure and property impacts from floods‘ It demonstrates that the pressures and cultures within Local Government Authorities, LGAs, produce faulty decisions for Development Applications on flood prone land. These faulty decisions have progressively increased the number of properties that have the potential to be inundated during periodic floods, increase the number of people adversely affected by flooding and increase the costs of restitution. There is some evidence that the effects are concentrated in more vulnerable groups like those who rent properties and elderly people in retirement centres who have no reason to be aware of the flooding history of the land. The evidence is drawn exclusively from the Ipswich City Council area but this submission has statewide relevance. Ipswich City Council is a good example to illustrate the more general position in the state since it: 1. Is one of the major LGAs in Queensland that have been sustained extensive flood damage in both the 1974 and 2011 flood events. 2. Has both urban and rural areas that are subject to periodic flooding. 3. Has an operational structure similar to most other Local Government Authorities. 4. Is subject to developmental pressures that are common to other Local Government Authorities. Furthermore, effective solutions need to be implemented at the State rather than Local Government level. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the State Government establish by legislation mandatory criteria for flood prone land.
