Shire of Enoggera explained
The Shire of Enoggera is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in north-western Brisbane.
History
Ithaca Division was one of the original divisions created on 11 November 1879 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879. It comprised 3 subdivisions. By 1886, the residents of subdivision 1 were petitioning to separate and become the Shire of Windsor,[1] resulting in the establishment of the Shire of Windsor on 11 February 1887. Meanwhile, the residents of subdivision 2 were petitioning to separate and become the Shire of Ithaca,[2] resulting in the creation of the Shire of Ithaca on 18 August 1887.
The now much-depleted Ithaca Division then requested to be renamed the Enoggera Division[3] and this occurred on 28 March 1888.
The Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced divisions with shires and towns. As a result, on 31 March 1903, the Enoggera Division became the Shire of Enoggera.
On 1 October 1925, the shire was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.
