Brisbane, Queensland
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Nundah is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia, located approximately 8km north-east of the Brisbane CBD. The missionaries first called the area "Zion". It later became "German Station" and then "Nundah", derived from the Aboriginal name for the area.
Nundah remained an agricultural area until the 1880s, when the construction of a railway between Brisbane and Sandgate in 1882 resulted in a suburban residential construction boom on Brisbane's northside. This urban sprawl was also encouraged by the Undue Subdivision of Land Prevention Act 1885, which mandated minimum lot sizes for new urban developments. Nundah became known as a suburb where working-class families could obtain cheap housing on reasonably-sized lots not too far from the city.
Nundah is a historical precinct, with free settlement in the state of Queensland beginning in 1838 when a group of Lutheran missionaries from Germany were granted land. Their efforts to convert the indigenous Turrbal people to Christianity met with limited success. Their arrival is commemorated with a monument at the corner of Sandgate Road and Wood Street unveiled in 1938 by then Premier of Queensland William Forgan Smith. The names of these German settlers can be seen in the names of streets in Nundah and surrounding suburbs such as Rode Road and Gerler Road.
In 1909, Surrey Street in Nundah became the site of the first public housing dwelling in Queensland.
In the early twentieth century, Nundah became a major suburban centre, due to its location on Sandgate Road, one of Brisbane's busiest arterial roads, and the adjacent Nundah railway station. Nundah's commercial precinct suffered a precipitous decline from the 1970s with the construction of the nearby Westfield Shoppingtown (Later Centro) Toombul shopping centre. Increasing motor traffic along Sandgate Road also reduced Nundah's appeal as a shopping precinct. However, in recent times a road tunnel has been constructed under nearby Bage Street, diverting through traffic away from the suburban centre. A Brisbane City Council suburban renewal programme has seen new art installations, cafés and bookshops open in Nundah, creating a village-like atmosphere along the now-quiet Sandgate Road.
In recent years the suburb has become popular among white collar workers seeking relatively inexpensive housing and apartments only a moderate distance from the Brisbane CBD. Since then, along with the rest of the city, housing prices in the area have skyrocketed, pricing most of the traditional working class out of the suburb.
As of 2006, a brand new complex featuring a Woolworths supermarket is being constructed, which when finished, promises to be the first stage of a revitalisation of the suburb.
