North Ipswich is a suburb of Ipswich in the City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, North Ipswich had a population of 4,515 people.[1]
The suburb is so named because it is immediately north (across the Bremer River) from the centre of Ipswich.[4] Raymond Hill was named after the hill which in turn was named after early land holders J & R Raymond.[3][5]
North Ipswich is the birthplace of Queensland Rail. The original site is now the site of Riverlink shopping centre on The Terrace and the current site is used as a joint facility containing the Workshops Rail Museum. The suburb contains a large number of character and heritage listed houses, such as workers cottages that were home to the many railway workers.
Ipswich North State School opened on 5 July 1867 with girls and boys taught in separate rooms. In 1876 it split into two separate schools: Ipswich North Boys State School and Ipswich North Girls and Infants State School. In 1934 the two school were amalgamated to form Ipswich North State School once again.[6]
A United Methodist Free Church opened in Canning Street on Sunday 22 March 1868.[7] In July 1873 it relocated to Brisbane Street in the Ipswich CBD to leave the "comparative obscurity" of North Ipswich.[8]
Circa 1888-1889 an Anglican church opened in North Ipswich.[9]
In November 1900, approx.150 allotments were advertised as "Railway Workshops Estate", to be auctioned by Cameron Brothers auctioneers.[10][11]
On 1 March 1902, auctioneer E. Bostock offered 77 blocks in the "New Workshops Estate", of which 48 sold on the day.[12][13] This estate was bounded by Albert Street to the west and north, by Tivoli Creek to the east, and Hill Street to the south.[14] At that time the Tivoli railway line passed through the estate from north to south; the land corridor still exists but is now used a pedestrian path.[4]
In 1923 12 allotments were advertised for sale by Jackson & Meyers on Saturday, 7 July 1923. This area was called the "Stirling Estate" and was resubdivisions of subdivisions 1 and 2 of Allotment 5 of Section 45 in the parish of Chuwar. The land was bounded by Waterworks Road and Simmons Road in North Ipswich and according to the real estate map was within 10 minutes of the Railway Workshops.[16][17][18] Later in 1923 it was advertised in the Queensland Times that there were still some allotments for sale.[19]
North Ipswich Uniting Church was originally located at 105 Downs Street, North Ipswich. It was previously the North Ipswich Presbyterian Church, until the Uniting Church in Australia was established in 1977.[20] Following its closure at this site it relocated to Brassall.[21]
In the 2011 census the suburb recorded a population of 4,587.[22]
In the 2016 census, North Ipswich had a population of 4,515 people.[1]
