Lilac Street, Inala, c 1957. The tiny township of Serviceton was selected in 1946 by the Serviceton Co-operative Society for development to help meet the shortage of post-war housing. The Society purchased 850 acres of land which was taken over by the Queensland Housing Commission in 1950, to which it added another 200 acres. The area was renamed Inala in 1953 to avoid confusion with the town of Serviceton in South Australia.
