Ipswich celebrates 150 years
Welcome to the official Website of the sesquicentennial celebrations of the City of Ipswich (Queensland).

Mayor's Welcome Message
Ipswich will be sharing its story with the rest of Australia as the 150th anniversary since Ipswich became a municipality is celebrated during 2010. The year will recognise the time which has passed since Ipswich was proclaimed as a municipality in 1860…
