Enoggera Barracks (also known as Gallipoli Barracks) is an Australian Army base in the northwestern Brisbane suburb of Enoggera in Queensland. It was officially established in the early 20th century when the area was used for field training, although the area was used by military units as far back as the mid-19th century. Since then it has been developed into a modern military base, which is now home to units of the 7th and 11th Brigades as well as the headquarters of the 1st Division and the 16th Aviation Brigade.

History[]

The base has a long history, having been in existence officially since 1908, although the wider area has been used for military purposes since 1855.^[2] Upon its establishment, the camp consisted of four paddocks that were used for training and drill—Bell, Fraser's, Rifle and Thompson's—and a number of rifle ranges were established there for use by civilian groups and units of the militia. Since then the base facilities have been expanded as the Army's presence there has grown through its involvement in the two World Wars and beyond.^[3]

Currently the base is home to the majority of 7th Brigade units. With the reorganisation of 7th Brigade in 2007, there are also a couple of units from the 11th Brigade based at Enoggera.^[4] It is one of the largest army bases in the country.^[5]^[6]

In January 2011, Enoggera Barracks was the location of the headquarters for the Australian Defence Force's response to the 2010–11 Queensland floods, Operation Queensland Flood Assist.^[7]

The base facilities underwent a $770 million expansion, which raised the number of regular personnel based at Enoggera to about 5,600 in 2014. The upgrade included redeveloping the 7th Brigade's headquarters as well as construction of a new gym, an indoor pool and training centre, and an expansion of 8th/9th Battalion's lines, and new lines for 2CER and other units.^[8]

The Royal Australian Regiment Memorial Walk is located in Enoggera Barracks.^[9]
