Originally inhabited by the native [[Turrbal]] tribe, the area became known as Clapham Junction once the suburb was settled by Europeans in 1849.

Banyo is a northern suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[3] In the 2021 census, Banyo had a population of 6,105 people.[1]

It is a community split between residential and industrial land usage, the latter being attracted by the accessibility of local transport, including the Gateway Motorway.[citation needed]

Geography

Banyo and the neighbouring suburb Nudgee, with which it is intertwined in many respects, are both rich in local history. This history includes the recent preservation of an Aboriginal Bora Ring. The areas of Nudgee and Nudgee Beach border on the Boondall Wetlands, which is protected by the Brisbane City Council.[citation needed]

Banyo has vastly increased the number of its business and industrial parks in recent years due to its close proximity to Brisbane Airport and the nearby Port of Brisbane. Nudgee Road is progressively becoming a commercial hub due to its connection to the Gateway Motorway, with a large service centre and petrol station and with new industrial grounds under construction overlooking the motorway itself.[citation needed]

The Australian Catholic University chose to establish its Brisbane campus on the site of the former Pius XII Seminary. The opening of a Woolworths Supermarket also boosted the Banyo housing market.[citation needed]

A residential estate, 'Couture', has been developed on the site of an old Army depot lying adjacent to the Golden Circle cannery based in next-door Northgate. Another new residential estate, 'Summerlin' has also recently been constructed on a former Hills Hoist manufacturing plant.[citation needed]

The Shorncliffe railway line enters the suburb from the west (Virginia) and exits to the north (Boondall). The suburb is served by Banyo railway station at the intersection of Royal Parade and St Vincents Road (27°22′29″S 153°04′39″E / 27.3746°S 153.0774°E / -27.3746; 153.0774 (Banyo railway station)).[4]

Banyo's commercial centre (the area surrounding Banyo railway station) has recently been enhanced following a Brisbane City Council Suburban Community Improvement Project (SCIP).[5]

History

Originally inhabited by the native Turrbal tribe, the area became known as Clapham Junction once the suburb was settled by Europeans in 1849. It was not until 1897 when it officially adopted the name Banyo, an Aboriginal word which means a hill or ridge. The name was chosen by the Secretary for Railways James Dickson, and was also given to the Banyo railway station. The hill that it was named after no longer exists, having been quarried for the construction of Eagle Farm Airport during World War II.[6]

New building at Nudgee State School, August 1950

Nudgee State School opened on 28 June 1875 on Nudgee Road on the western side of Nudgee Road, just south of the junction with Tufnell Road on land donated by Isaac Stuckey (present day address approx 936 Nudgee Road, 27°23′15″S 153°05′11″E / 27.3875°S 153.0863°E / -27.3875; 153.0863 (Nudgee State School (1875-1924))).[7][8][9][10][11] By 1924 frequent flooding of the school building and growth in the local population led to new school buildings being erected at 453 Earnshaw Road (27°22′39″S 153°05′06″E / 27.3774°S 153.0849°E / -27.3774; 153.0849 (Nudgee State School (1924-2002))).[12][13] On 31 December 2002 it was closed as part of an amalgamated with Banyo State High School to form Earnshaw State College, which opened in January 2003 from the site of the former high school.[12][14] "A" Block of the former state school is listed on the Brisbane Heritage Register.[13] The Nudgee State School website was archived.[15]

In June 1884, approximately 600 allotments of "Clapham Junction Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by James R. Dickson & Company, auctioneers. The map advertising the auction states the Estate has magnificent view of the bay, and is located on the Sandgate Line between Toombul and Nudgee Stations.[16][17][18]

In 1918, local Anglicans purchased a block of land for £240. St Oswald's Anglican Church was dedicated on 17 February 1929 by Archbishop Gerald Sharp. The church hall was built in 1946.[21][22]

On Saturday 14 March 1925, the Banyo Memorial School of Arts was officially opened by the Queensland Governor, Matthew Nathan. It was at the junction of St Vincents Road and Royal Parade. Inside there was a World War I Honour Board and a photo of the deceased Mrs Emma Purchase who had instigated the movement to construct the School of Arts.[23][24] Another Honour Board was installed after World War II. By the 1990s the hall was in a dilapidated condition and in May 1988 a public meeting voted to demolish the hall, which took place in October 1988 and the land was sold in 2001. Funds from the sale were used to build a bandstand in Banyo Memorial Park in 2013.[25]

Baptist services commenced in the Banyo School of Arts in March 1925.[26][27] In October 1928, Arthur Hartley donated a 50-perch (1,300 m2) piece of land to construct a Baptist church.[28] The Banyo Baptist Church was officially opened on Saturday 6 December 1930.[29][30][31][32] It was 30 by 21 feet (9.1 by 6.4 m) and capable of seating about 120 people. The church is highset timber with an iron roof and has a room underneath which is 21 by 12 feet (6.4 by 3.7 m).[33][34] The current Baptist Church was built on the same site in 1967.[35]

In January 1927, 102 allotments of the "Northgate Extension Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by Edward S. Crawford & Co., property salesmen, in conjunction with John Coleman, auctioneer. The map advertising the auction states the Estate has salubrious sea breezes with the Sandgate to Brisbane bus service that passes handy to the estate and 68 passenger trains daily.[36][37]

In September 1927, a plan of the "Purdy Estate" was drawn up by Ernest C. Henzell and W. Carlyle Henzell, Land Agents. The map advertising the land sale shows the land allotments near Banyo Station.[38]

In September 1928, the "Robinson's Paddock Estate" made up of 81 allotments was advertised to be auctioned by Isles, Love, & Co. Limited, auctioneers. The map advertising the auction states the Estate is handy to the station, schools, churches and stores. water and electric light pass the estate, and it is situated within a few miles of the popular sea beaches of Sandgate, Nudgee and Cribb Island.[39][40]
