History
[edit]Auchenflower Ward was established as part of the redistribution prior to the 1973 Brisbane City Council election,[1][5] as part of a reduction in the total number of wards from 28 to 21.[6] At the 1973 election, Auchenflower was one of the twenty wards won by the Labor Party.[6]
Upon its creation, Auchenflower Ward fully covered the suburbs of Auchenflower and St Lucia.[1] The ward also included the majority of Bardon and Toowong, along with parts of Milton, Paddington, and Taringa.[1]
At the 1976 election, the ward was won for the Liberal Party by Denver Beanland. Beanland served as the ward's Alderman up until its abolishment at the 1985 election. The ward's area was split between the newly-created Taringa and Paddington wards, with Beanland successfully contesting the new Taringa Ward.[2]
