Brisbane 100 The History Hub Community information day marking the centenary of the amalgamation of many Shires into the Greater Brisbane City Council was a volunteer-led event on Wednesday 1st of October. More than 50 volunteers attended and speeches were given, including one by the Lord Mayor. It’s a tribute to what the community can achieve if we feel strongly enough about an initiative.

Brisbane 100 History Conference The Royal Historical Society of Queensland (RHSQ) is partnering with the Greater Brisbane Centenary Committee to host a significant History Conference commemorating the centenary of the amalgamation of Greater Brisbane. This event will bring together leading historians, researchers, and writers specialising in Brisbane’s history to present papers exploring the social, political, economic, and cultural impact of the 1925 amalgamation and the subsequent development of the city. Topics will range from the motivations behind the unification, town planning, the history of amalgamated towns and shires, to the long-term consequences and the evolution of Brisbane’s identity.
