TheShire of Moggill is a formerlocal government area ofQueensland, Australia, located in westernBrisbane.
Toowong Division was one of the original divisions created on 11 November 1879 under theDivisional Boards Act of 1879.[1] On 20 May 1880, the more populated area of Toowong Division was proclaimed as theShire of Toowong, with the remaining part of the Toowong Division being renamedIndooroopilly Division on 2 June 1880.[2][3]
In 1890, residents in theTaringa area of the Indooroopilly Division began to agitate for the establishment of a separate division for Taringa. Their rationale was that the area aroundTaringa railway station had grown in population and was of a suburban character and that the interests of this community were different from those of the farming community that comprised the rest of Indooroopilly Division.[4] On 11 October 1890,Taringa Division was separated from Indooroopilly Division.
On 31 March 1903, theLocal Authorities Act 1902 replaced Divisions with Shires and Towns, replacingIndooroopilly Division withShire of Indooroopilly.[2][5]
On 8 December 1917, the Shire of Indooroopilly was renamed Shire of Moggill.[5][6]
On 1 October 1925, the shire was amalgamated into theCity of Brisbane.[6]
