Town of Sandgate
The Town of Sandgate is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in northern Brisbane adjacent to Moreton Bay.
History
On 29 April 1880, Sandgate was proclaimed a municipality known as the Borough of Sandgate.[1][2][3]
In 1902, the Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced all Divisions and Boroughs with Towns and Shires, creating the Town of Sandgate on 31 March 1903.[4]
On 1 October 1925, it was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.[4]

The original Sandgate Town Hall was designed by Richard Gailey and built in 1882 at Kate Street, Shorncliffe but burned down in 1910.
Its replacement was built in 1911–1912 at 5 Brighton Street, Sandgate to be closer to the Sandgate railway station and the Sandgate Post Office. After the amalgamation into City of Brisbane, the Sandgate Town Hall was used as a library, School of Arts and a health clinic. Today it is used as meeting rooms available for use by community groups.[5][6]
The Sandgate Town Hall was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2005.[5]
