LANDSBOROUGH MUSEUM

ABOUT US
 
 HOME


The original Landsborough Shire Council Chambers were designed in 1924 by renowned architect Walter Carey Voller and built from local timbers supplied by A.E. Round. 

In 1988 using funding from the Bi-centenary, the old building was revamped and a new building of mud brick construction was added.

The complex was reopened on Australia Day in 1988 by J.L. Beausang the last chairman of Landsborough Shire and first mayor of Caloundra City.  

At a Heritage Council meeting on the 25th June 1999, it was resolved to enter the "former Landsborough Shire Council Chambers" into the Queensland Heritage Register.
