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
