Historical Markers

Description

History

The Ipswich Historical Marker project was launched on Sunday, 22 October 2000 at St Francis Xavier Church at Goodna as a part of the Ipswich Heritage Program. The goal of the project was to endeavour to interpret more fully the spectrum of Ipswich's history through interpretative plaques that were easily accessible to the public.

Initially, a structured approach to placement of plaques was adopted with markers being allocated to places on the Queensland Heritage Register. As the project grew, places on one of the 'Then & Now' Heritage Trails were considered, as were those in Schedule 2 and 3 in the Ipswich Planning Scheme.

One hundred and thirty-six plaques were installed between 2000 and 2017.
