Urban Greenery (Brisbane's King George Square, Queensland)

            The construction of King George Square was first proposed in the 1930s and the area was marked for "civic purposes" on the 1959 Town Plan. In 1962 negotiations began for the acquisition of properties for demolition and the following year initial plans were drawn. Albert Street was closed in 1966 and plans were finalised in 1968. King George Square was officially opened on the 18th of March 1975, as the forecourt to the City Hall. The transfer of council departments to the Brisbane Administration Centre after 1976, allowed the renovation of City Hall and its partial conversion to a community centre. On the 9th of March 1977 the Art Gallery/Museum on the ground floor was opened by Queen Elizabeth II. Since then the administration offices have been converted to function rooms, as originally intended; Council Chambers redecorated; and the central library, clubrooms and kindercraft day nursery have been added.
