The Gardens Point Campus grounds were once solely occupied by the 19th Century building, known as Old Government House. In 1909, Old Government House and the surrounding five hectares were set-aside for both a University and a Technical College. Then known as the University of Queensland, the University was transferred to St Lucia in 1945, where it still remains today. In 1965, the Technical College became the Queensland Institute of Technology, which in turn became the Queensland University of Technology, holding this name since 1989.^[2] In 1990, the Brisbane College of Advanced Education campuses of Kelvin Grove, Kedron and Carseldine merged with QIT. Although the Federal government's Dawkins reforms were converting many other tertiary institutions into universities at the time, this particular change was independent of the Dawkin's reforms. The University of Queensland (UQ) is the longest-established university in the state of Queensland, Australia, a member of Australias Group of Eight, and the Sandstone Universities. ...

This article describes the national government of Australia. ... The Dawkins Revolution was a series of Australian tertiary education reforms instituted by the then Labor Education Minister (1987-92) John Dawkins. ...

Brisbane College of Advanced Education had a number of predecessor institutions that included Kelvin Grove College of Advanced Education, Mt. Gravatt College of Advanced Education, North Brisbane College of Advanced Education and Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers College which offered academic, technical and teacher education. The oldest of these institutions was the Brisbane School of Arts, which was established in 1849.

QIT began as Central Technical College. The CTC was established in 1908 at Gardens Point. Its name was changed to QIT in 1965. The Brisbane Central Technical College was founded in 1908, and eventually became the Queensland University of Technology. ...
