Town of Wynnum
The Town of Wynnum is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in eastern Brisbane adjacent to Moreton Bay.
History
The Bulimba Division was one of the original divisions created on 11 Nov 1879 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879.[1] On 4 January 1888, the No. 2 subdivision of the Bulimba Division was separated to create the new Kianawah Division.[2][3]
On 17 March 1892, there was an alteration of boundaries. The Pritchard's Road land and gravel reserve (100 acres) were transferred from Kianawah Division to Balmoral Division. The Grassdale Estate land was transferred from Kianawah Division to Bulimba Division.[4][5]
Kianawah Division was renamed Wynnum Division on 3 Nov 1892.[6]
In 1902, the Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced all Divisions with Towns and Shires, creating the Shire of Wynnum on 31 Mar 1903.[6][7]
On 31 Nov 1912, the Shire of Wynnum was proclaimed the Town of Wynnum.[7][8]
In 1925, the Town of Wynnum was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.[8]
