The Brisbane Australia Temple is the 115th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It is located at 200 River Terrace, Kangaroo Point in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[2] The intent to build the temple was announced on July 20, 1998, by the church's First Presidency.[3] The temple was the fifth in Australia, following the Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney temples.[4]
The temple has a single attached spire with a statue of the angel Moroni.[5] The temple was designed by Phillips, Smith, Conwell Architects, using a traditional architectural style.[6] A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on May 26, 2001, conducted by Kenneth Johnson, a general authority and president of the church’s Australia/New Zealand Area.[7]
