Town of Sandgate
The Town of Sandgate is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in northern Brisbane adjacent to Moreton Bay.
History
Land in Sandgate became available in 1853,[1] allowing a small seaside settlement to develop. By 1874, coach services connected Sandgate to Brisbane.[2] The railway line from Brisbane to Sandgate opened in 1882.[3]
On 29 April 1880, Sandgate was proclaimed a municipality known as the Borough of Sandgate.[4][5][6]
The Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced all Divisions and Boroughs with Towns and Shires, creating the Town of Sandgate on 31 March 1903.[7]
On 1 October 1925, it was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.[7]
Sandgate Town Hall
The original Sandgate Town Hall was designed by Richard Gailey and built in 1882 at Kate Street, Shorncliffe but burned down on 24 May 1910.[8]
Its replacement was built in 1911–1912 at 5 Brighton Street, Sandgate to be closer to the Sandgate railway station and the Sandgate Post Office. After the amalgamation into City of Brisbane, the Sandgate Town Hall was used as a library, School of Arts and a health clinic. Today it is used as meeting rooms available for use by community groups.[9][10]
The Sandgate Town Hall was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2005.[9]
