Town Hall, Rockhampton, c 1962. From the Queensland Heritage Registerid=601572 ) . Rockhampton emerged as an important Queensland regional centre during the 1850s and 1860s. This development took on especial prominence after the discovery of the mining wealth at Mount Morgan in 1882. The additional affluence that flowed on for Rockhampton fuelled a rapid expansion of public and private buildings and residences throughout the City and surrounds. This building boom allowed for many grand places to be constructed, especially renowned along the commercial and government sector near the wharves on Quay Street, to the many elite residences found on 'The Range'. Despite this building expansion into the 1900s, Rockhampton never achieved a purpose built Town Hall until 1941. An 1878 reference to premises utilised by Rockhampton's Council, stated: OUR MUNICPAL EDDIFICES are more useful than ornamental. The Council Chambers (by one aspiring Mayor denominated Temporary Town Hall) are of wood and iron, lined, in an airy spot, and well verandahed; on an adjoining reserve the Fire Engine Shed, and Kerosene Store, are erected. It was not until 21 June 1897 before the first foundation stone for a future town hall was laid by a Rockhampton Mayor Mr Littler to mark the occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. At this occasion Mr Littler let it be known that the Council could not proceed immediately with the building, but felt that construction would probably be able to commence some time over the next ten years. As events turned out it wasn't until a much later Mayor laid a fresh foundation stone in 1939 that the task was truly commenced. In 1936 the City Council resurrected the idea for Rockhampton to get its own purpose built town hall. Though first muted back in 1897 and occasionally referred to in election speeches through the ensuing years, it wasn't until this year that the Council determined to invite designs for a new town hall. Seven designs were submitted by Rockha
