INTRODUCTION [This paper, entitied the "Gardens Reach of the Brisbane River," describes the growth of shipping from the inception of Brisbane's first port terminal at South Brisbane, which spread and developed in the Gardens Reach. In dealing briefly wkh a period from 1842 to 1927, it men­ tions some of the vessels which came here and a number of people who travelled in them. In this year of 1965, we take for granted communications in terms of the Telestar which televises in London an inter­ view as it takes place in New York. News from the world comes to us several times a day from newspapers, television and radio. A letter posted to London brings a reply in less than a week: we can cable or telephone to London or New York. Now let us return to the many years from 1842 onward before the days of the submarine cable and subsequent inven­ tion of wireless telegraphy by Signor Marconi, when Bris­ bane's sole means of communication with the outside world was by way of the sea.

Ships vanished without trace; news of others which were lost came from survivors.

    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.

The City Reach Waterfront is one of Brisbane’s iconic riverside locations – bookended by the City Botanic Gardens and Howard Smith Wharves. The area is a popular leisure destination and is one of the city's key economic precincts, known for its concentration of high-value professional services and picturesque riverside dining. The City Reach Waterfront Master Plan (the master plan) is an action from the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2014 that establishes an ambitious vision for the waterfront. Achieving the vision of the master plan will take time and will require a collaborative approach between stakeholders, including Council, the Queensland Government and landholders. Council welcomes the opportunity to work with precinct stakeholders to deliver on the master plan’s vision. Community consultation The master plan is based on extensive technical investigations and community consultation. The draft master plan was released for public consultation in late 2019 and Council received more than 400 submissions.

The draft master plan is based on feedback received from residents, property owners, businesses, commuters and visitors who completed the master plan survey in late 2018, as well as responses to the Move Safe Brisbane consultation. In addition, research into international waterfront examples has provided a set of key qualities to ensure future development will transform the City Reach Waterfront into a New World City riverside destination. The master plan will be a non-statutory document that complements Brisbane’s planning scheme (Brisbane City Plan 2014).

A Distant Past': Researching the First Petrie Generation' by D. Cryle Presented at a meeting of the Society, 21 February 1992 Researching the Scottish origins of the Petries was the first stage of a two-pronged investigation into the family's eventful history. Complementing this lengthy task was the need to interrogate early colonial sources in an attempt to reconstruct the original immigrants, Andrew and Mary, as complex historical actors. While it was not our intention to undertake a psychobiography, it was necessary to negotiate the private family sphere, firstly as a means of elucidating the achievements of a very public Brisbane family and secondly, as a subject possessing its own intrinsic interest. In this regard, researching the first immigrant generation proved to be as challenging as investigating the Scottish connection. In the case of the Petries, it was not tUl the early twentieth century that Constance Petrie, a granddaughter of the original immigrants on Tom's side, recorded the celebrated Reminiscences of Early Queensland,^ while Andrew Lang Petrie, a grandson on John's side; wrote a series of short sketches for the Daily Mail at the end of his parliamentary career.^ Valuable as these family sources were for the colonial period, there were significant gaps in the record, especially concerning the original immigrants.

The brick wall on top of the retaining wall was built in 1885. Arch Lane was established following the construction of shops on this site in the early 1920s and although the lane is not historically related to the retaining wall, its existence ensures that a portion of the porphyry and brick walls remain extant. History This retaining wall was constructed in 1883 and was an integral part of the continued development of the Brisbane Gas Company’s gas works located on this site. It is important in demonstrating the significance of Petrie Bight for light industry and wharf facilities in this period and for its association with the Brisbane Gas Company. The Brisbane Gas Company was established in 1863 and by 1865 the Company had established a gas works on the riverfront at Petrie Bight. The proximity to the river ensured coal, the primary ingredient in the gas production process, could be punted to the gas works from Ipswich. The Company manufactured and distributed gas for street lighting, commercial and domestic use. As the population of the city expanded so too did public demand for gas.
