Town of Ithaca
The Town of Ithaca is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in inner western Brisbane.
History
The Ithaca Division was first proclaimed in 1879, and originally covered an area that stretched from Windsor, Kelvin Grove and Milton in the east, through to The Gap and beyond the Enoggera Dam in the west. In 1887 the division was split into the Shire of Windsor and the Enoggera Division, with the remainder in the south east becoming the Shire of Ithaca. Ithaca was proclaimed a town in 1903, before being amalgamated into the City of Brisbane in 1925.
Geography
The Town of Ithaca comprised most of the inner western suburbs of Brisbane from Kelvin Grove Road to the foot of Mount Coot-tha. Its boundary followed Enoggera Creek to the north, Coopers Camp, Simpsons and Boundary Roads in Bardon to the west, and Baroona and Milton Roads to the south.[1] Hale Street and an area just before the junction of Waterworks/Musgrave Road and Kelvin Grove Road formed the south-eastern extremity of the town. This eastern boundary was shared with the Brisbane Municipal Council; the Brisbane side of Hale Street was paved and channeled while the Ithaca side was not.[2]
Ithaca Town Council Chambers
The Ithaca Town Council Chambers were built in 1910 at 99 Enoggera Terrace, in the then suburb of Ithaca (now in the suburb of Red Hill). With the amalgamation into City of Brisbane in 1925, the building became the property of by the Brisbane City Council. Since then it has been used as a council depot, library and as the Red Hill Kindergarten. It is currently used as a community hall.
The Ithaca Town Council Chambers was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2000.[3]
