Queensland Place Names Board

The Queensland Place Names Board was a State Government board responsible for approving place names in Queensland from 1958 to 1988. It was created after the Queensland Place Names Act 1958 passed and disbanded after the Queensland Place Names Act 1988 passed, therefore passing the responsibility of place-naming on to the Surveyor General.

The Queensland Place Names Act 1958 stated that the Board must consist of "a chairman and four other members" and that the Surveyor General ex officio be a member and chairman of the Board. In the case of the Surveyor General being unable to chair a meeting, only an officer of the Survey Office nominated by the Surveyor General may substitute the chairman position.
