Town of Sandgate

The Town of Sandgate is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in northern Brisbane adjacent to Moreton Bay.

[8] From its first settlement Sandgate relied on inadequate water supplies from tanks and the local lagoons.

"[9] The original Sandgate Town Hall was designed by Richard Gailey and built in 1882 at Kate Street, Shorncliffe but burned down on 24 May 1910.

After the amalgamation into City of Brisbane, the Sandgate Town Hall was used as a library, School of Arts and a health clinic.

[11] From the inception of the Town Council the elected aldermen chose one of their number to be mayor for the ensuing year.
