Shire of Enoggera


The Shire of Enoggera is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in north-western Brisbane.

History

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, 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, 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 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.
