Ipswich celebrates 150 years.

In 2010 Ipswich celebrates the 150th anniversary of being proclaimed a municipality. This was a major milestone as the colony of Queensland had been proclaimed only months before. Ipswich was one of the first settlements in the new colony to take advantage of the Municipalities Act passed of 1858 and become formally recognised. This achievement is a tribute to the drive and ambition of the 3000 Ipswich residents at the time. The two key dates for commemorating this important anniversary are: 3 March in 2010 as the day in 1860 that the change in status was formally announced; and 12 April marking the anniversary of the first Council meeting.
