Plans submitted to Council by Henry Carr in relation to contract for disposal of nightsoil. This includes a sanitary wharf, depot and Steamer adjacent Queens wharf at North Quay. Also plans for associated nightsoil cart.
In the 1890s Brisbane's nightsoil was disposed of via special barge at North Quay and dumped in Moreton Bay. Complaints by local residents about the smell and the destruction of the wharf in the 1983 floods resulted in its demise.
