Talk:City of Brisbane

message: I notice this article does contain a minor reference to the 'City of Brisbane Act 1924' but I can't help feeling that this could be elaborated on. I always understood that the powers afforded to it under the Act, combined with the shear size of the amalgamation, gave Brisbane City Council some rather unique characteristics. At this point in time I lack the accurate information to do much editing on this subject. Surely someone else would have some in depth knowledge of the act and its implications! --GaryB84 (talk) 22:04, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: City of Brisbane Act 1924

message: This article is listed as an article on an LGA, at the bottom it is on a list of LGAs in qld, and the chart at top right is the one used for a geographical LGA
this article is in fact about the City of Brisbane LGA, and not just the authority that governs it (BCC)
To put it in line with LGA articles for other australian cities, such as the city of sydney and the city of melbourne, i have changed references in this article to refer to the City of Brisbane (as the chart was already titled, and most of the article's content already refered to) with a section on governance (city council structure, politics, etc info)
this puts the article in line with all the other australian LGA articles, and makes it consistant with what this article is categorized as, an article on an LGA
to reflect this, i would like to change the name of the article to "city of brisbane" as is done with other LGAs eg city of sydney, city of perth, city of logan, etc etc, and have "brisbane city council" redirect to the section on governance (in line with other articles).
this will simplify and comply to standards set and take away all the recent confusion on wiki resulting from the fact this article was not named in accordance with its content.
As is used for all other aust cities, the word "brisbane" will now have three articles. One on the metro area (default redirect), which it already has and is already the default redirect, one on the LGA of the city of brisbane, which already existed as this article which was wrongly named which is where the problem stemmed from (this includes section on governance under BCC and BCC redirects to this), and an article on the suburb, Brisbane 2000 (ie, the CBD).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.63.196 (talk) 07:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This is an article on an LGA, BCC should only cover one section 

message: This actually applies to the Council, more than the City. However we don't seem to have a page on the council? (As discussed in the preceding move request section)
The loss by fraud of A$450,000 seems pretty notable so here's a source:

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hey there! I'm a bit confused about the scope of this article. Brisbane City Council (the council organisation) and the City of Brisbane (the city) are different, but the City of Brisbane and Brisbane surely are the same? I would like to have a consensus about cleaning up these articles to provide an easier to understand experience for readers, by:
* combining City of Brisbane and Brisbane into just Brisbane (by adding a condensed section about the government structure of Brisbane in terms of wards and electorates etc), and 
* spinning out Brisbane City Council into its own article.
