Commissioners Flat is a locality of the Moreton Bay Region in Queensland, Australia.[1]
History
It was named after Stephen Simpson, the Queensland commissioner of lands, who used the area as a camp site in the mid-19th century.[1] Although the normal rules of English grammar would suggest that the locality name should be spelled with a possessive apostrophe, the official titles of place names in Queensland do not include that particular punctuation.[2]
Geography
The eastern border is marked by the Stanley River. Peachester State Forest occupies the eastern half of Commissioners Flat.
