  Brisbane City Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brisbane City Council was formed in 1925 from a forced amalgamation of twenty smaller councils.
Brisbane City Council has an unusual structure with power divided between a powerful executive Lord Mayor, a parliamentary-style Council of twenty-six councillors representing single-member wards of approximately 23,000 voters, and a Civic Cabinet comprising the Lord Mayor and the chairpersons of the seven standing committees drawn from the membership of Council.
The city's floral emblem is the poinsettia and its faunal emblem is the Graceful Tree Frog.

 Brisbane City Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1969 the council commenced the acquisition of the properties to the south of the City Hall, and in 1975 opened the Brisbane Administration Centre (or BAC), a 20 floor tower and surrounding plaza.
The City Hall continues to house the office of the Lord Mayor of Brisbane (the Lord Mayor's office is located on the King George Square side of the building), the Council meeting Chamber (located on the Adelaide Street side of the building), and councillors' offices.
The bronze Lion sculptures, in front of the King George Square façade of Brisbane City Hall, were initially part of the King George V memorial, which was unveiled in 1938 as a tribute to the King from the citizens of Brisbane.

 Brisbane City Council - Cultural Commons
Council is committed to making sure everyone in Brisbane has opportunities to take part in and shape the city's cultural life.
Council recognises however, that not all cultural and creative activities are likely to achieve economic viability, and therefore, if truly valued, will require ongoing subsidy.
Creative City's aims can only be achieved through shared vision and strong public and private partnerships, between a dynamic and committed Council, the State and Federal Governments, private sector management and creative practitioners of all kinds -- innovative thinkers and risk takers focused on developing a great quality of life in the city.

 Brisbane City Council v. F N Albietz [2001] QSC 160 (17 May 2001)
Funds for BCC operations are raised by, inter alia, the levying of rates and charges and by borrowings and investment.
Having regard to these matters, it can be seen that the BCC is involved in and is part of the State governmental function such that its activities are "impressed with the stamp of government".
