Shire of Taringa

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

Its administrative centre was Taringa (now a suburb of City of Brisbane).

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.

[4] With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, Taringa Division became a Shire on 31 March 1903.

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