On 16 January 1888, the Pine Divisional Board was the first to be gazetted within the boundaries of the large Caboolture (Qld.) area. When the first meeting of the new Pine Divisional Board was held at his Albany Creek residence on 7 March 1888, Mr Ireland was unanimously elected as Chairman for the ensuing year. He continued to serve as a member of the Board for the years 1889 to 1898, being again elected as Chairman in both 1893 and 1894.Record typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourSepia
