During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a second temple in Brisbane, Australia. The Brisbane Australia South Area Temple, as it is currently designated, is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
The Brisbane Australia South Area Temple will be the sixth house of the Lord operating, under construction, or announced in the country. The first temple in Brisbane was dedicated in June 2003. Brisbane is the capital of the Australian state of Queensland, located in the northeastern part of the country, with a population of roughly 2.2 million.
The first congregation was organized in Australia in 1844, followed by a mission created in 1851. In the 1960s, stakes (similar to a diocese) were organized in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. They were among the first organized outside of North America.
Today, there are more than 155,000 Church members in more than 300 congregations in the country.
