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. The intent to build the temple was announced on 20 July 1998, by the church's First Presidency. The temple was the fifth in Australia, following the Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney temples.
The temple has a single attached spire with a statue of the angel Moroni. The temple was designed by Phillips, Smith, Conwell Architects, using a traditional architectural style. The 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.
