Summary
editDescriptionSignatures and Petitions (5104331474).jpg |
By Ian De Gruchy (2009) Brisbane was formally declared a municipality on 6 September 1859 when two key petitions were submitted under the New South Wales Municipalities Act (1858). These signatures form the artwork are projected onto the bridge. The first petition was submitted to New South Wales in December 1858 with 181 signatures. In March 1859, a second petition was sent with 240 signatures opposing the separation. A heated public meeting took place and a third and final petition was drawn in April 1859 with 420 residents’ signatures supporting Queensland’s separation. |
