Brisbane Chamber of Commerce (1868 - 1987) |

| Employer body representation in Queensland can be traced back to 1868 and the establishment of the Brisbane Chamber of Commerce by local merchants seeking representation of their interests to the British colonial government in Sydney. The Chamber of Commerce continued to represent its constituency until the mid 1970s, when the end of the long post-war boom and the confluence of a number of other national and international economic influences led the Queensland Chamber of Manufactures, the Queensland Employers´ Federation, the North Queensland and Central Queensland Employers´ Associations and the Mackay Employers´ Federation to merge in 1976 to form the Queensland Confederation of Industry [QCI]. QCI merged with the State Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Queensland) and the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce in 1994 to form the Queensland Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ltd [QCCI]. In April 2001, QCCI re-launched itself as Commerce Queensland. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
