digartal Posted July 19 Report Posted July 19 Brisbane City Hall was opened in 1930 by Queensland Governor (Sir John Goodwin). The building was officially opened on 8 April 1930 by Lord Mayor of Brisbane William Jolly. However it had been partially occupied since 1927. Building City Hall was a major undertaking for our city in the 1920s, taking 10 years to build at a cost of almost one million pounds. During World War II, Brisbane City Hall played an integral part of the Australian war defence process.
