Shire of Moggill

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

[2][3] In 1890, residents in the Taringa area of the Indooroopilly Division began to agitate for the establishment of a separate division for Taringa.

Their rationale was that the area around Taringa 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.

On 31 March 1903, the Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced Divisions with Shires and Towns, replacing Indooroopilly Division with Shire of Indooroopilly.

[5][6] On 1 October 1925, the shire was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.
