STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 32 Simmonds Street, Cardiff, a simple cottage constructed of weatherboard and corrugated iron, has cultural heritage significance for its aesthetic contribution to the Cardiff streetscape.

HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION: Mining leases were being taken up in the Collie Cardiff area from January 1900. In October 1900, The Inquirer and Commercial News described Collie Cardiff as having an area of 6,000 acres and that ‘over 1,000 ft of boring has been done upon it and some good seams of coal have been struck, but it has not yet reached the producing stage”.191 The need for a townsite was clear by 1902 and a town named Collieburn (sometimes Collie-Burn), mid way between the Collie Burn and Collie Cardiff coal mines was gazetted in 1907. By 1915, the need for land was closer to Collie Cardiff and the Cardiff Progress Association sought to change the name to Cardiff which was approved only for the southern portion of the town which became Collie-Cardiff. The northern portion continued to be known as Collie-Burn. In 1944 the names were changed to Collie Cardiff and Collie Burn.192 Lot 25 is shown on an unnamed street on one of two 1916 plans of the Collie-Burn and Collie-Cardiff townsites. Collie-Cardiff appears in the Wise Post Office Directories from 1908, appearing later as Collie Cardiff. Street names are not provided. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 25 Simmonds Street, Collie-Cardiff is a simple worker’s cottage. It has a hipped iron roof with a bullnose verandah, clad in short sheet corrugated iron. The walls are timber painted weatherboard. The front façade is symmetrical with a central door flanked by timber framed French doors (probably originally sash windows). The verandah roof is supported by square timber posts. The verandah is set close to the ground, so that there are no steps necessary to access the entry.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Dwelling, 17 Patterson Street, Collie has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:

• The house was built to accommodate teachers teaching at the school across the road.

HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION: The Wise Post Office Directories do not list street names for Collie until 1934. From 1934 to 1939, E Snell is listed at 17 Patterson Street. James Ferrie is listed from 1940 until 1949 when these records cease. It is thought that the house was built to accommodate teachers working at the school across the road. Collie’s original school site was located on the south-eastern corner of the Patterson Street and Venn Street intersection. A number of lots (972-974 and 976-981) between Venn Street and Clifton Street were allocated as Educational Endowment lots.208 15 Patterson Street (which is also thought to have been a school teacher’s house) and 17 Patterson Street are located on what was originally Lot 975, immediately opposite the school site but outside the area annotated as Educational Endowment.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: House, 15 Patterson Street, Collie, a weatherboard and iron cottage constructed in the Federation Bungalow style, has cultural heritage significance for its aesthetic contribution to the Collie streetscape and social value as providing accommodation to teachers at the Collie High School across the road.

HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION: It is thought that the house was built to accommodate teachers working at the school across the road. The 1996 Shire of Collie Muncipal Heritage Inventory and the Draft Shire of Collie Local Government Heritage Inventory both refer to 45 Patterson Street. The place is described as being ‘across the road’ from the school on Patterson Street. In 2016, 45 Patterson does not exist. 15 Patterson Street is similar to the house shown in the poor quality photograph in the 1996 MHI and is located appropriately. It is also adjacent to 17 Patterson Street which is also thought to have been teachers’ accommodation. Collie’s original school site was located on the south-eastern corner of the Patterson Street and Venn Street intersection. A number of lots (972-974 and 976-981) between Venn Street and Clifton Street were allocated as Educational Endowment lots.209 15 and 17 Patterson Street are located on what was originally Lot 975, immediately opposite the school site but outside the area annotated as Educational Endowment. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 15 Patterson Street, Collie is a timber and iron house built in the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. It has an asymmetrical faced with a protruding room with a gable over. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. Walls are weatherboard. The house is on timber stumps. The verandah has a dropped bullnose roof, supported by turned and chamfered timber posts with decorative timber brackets. There is a simple timber balustrade and central steps. Under the verandah is a timber door, with a timber framed sash window to one side. Originally there was a central door and windows either side. The gabled section has a timber window with iron awning over, and timber battens to the gable. There are additions to the rear. There is no front boundary fence.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: House, 112 (Lot 353) Shannon St, Cardiff, a simple cottage constructed of weatherboard and corrugated iron, has cultural heritage significance for its aesthetic contribution to the Cardiff streetscape.


Mining leases were being taken up in the Collie Cardiff area from January 1900. In October 1900, The Inquirer and Commercial News described Collie Cardiff as having an area of 6,000 acres and that ‘over 1,000 ft of boring has been done upon it and some good seams of coal have been struck, but it has not yet reached the producing stage”.218 The need for a townsite was clear by 1902 and a town named Collieburn (sometimes Collie-Burn), mid way between the Collie Burn and Collie Cardiff coal mines was gazetted in 1907. By 1915, the need for land was closer to Collie Cardiff and the Cardiff Progress Association sought to change the name to Cardiff which was approved only for the southern portion of the town which became Collie-Cardiff. The northern portion continued to be known as Collie-Burn. In 1944 the names were changed to Collie Cardiff and Collie Burn.219 Lot 353 is shown as a reserve on an unnamed street on a 1912 plan of the Collie-Burn and Collie-Cardiff townsites.220 In 1916 it is shown as ‘alienated’ (ie sold) land.221 Collie-Cardiff appears in the Wise Post Office Directories from 1908, appearing later as Collie Cardiff. Street names are not provided. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 112 Shannon Street, Cardiff is a typical timber and iron worker’s cottage. The roof is hipped and clad in corrugated iron, with a separate verandah roof to the front. The walls are weatherboard, with some fibrous cement to the side.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Cardiff Hall, Shannon Street, Cardiff, a weatherboard, brick and iron hall constructed in 1915, has cultural heritage significance for its social value as a community gathering place for the people of Cardiff since its construction which was funded in part by community fundraising.

HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION: Mining leases were being taken up in the Collie Cardiff area from January 1900. In October 1900, The Inquirer and Commercial News described Collie Cardiff as having an area of 6,000 acres and that ‘over 1,000 ft of boring has been done upon it and some good seams of coal have been struck, but it has not yet reached the producing stage”.222 The need for a townsite was clear by 1902 and a town named Collieburn (sometimes Collie-Burn), mid way between the Collie Burn and Collie Cardiff coal mines was gazetted in 1907. By 1915, the need for land was closer to Collie Cardiff and the Cardiff Progress Association sought to change the name to Cardiff which was approved only for the southern portion of the town which became Collie-Cardiff. The northern portion continued to be known as Collie-Burn. In 1944 the names were changed to Collie Cardiff and Collie Burn.223 In June 1914, the Collie Mail reported that “for many years the residents of Cardiff have suffered immeasurable inconvenience through having no public hall in the locality. The children have had to travel into the Collie State School daily to receive their education, no regular public worship could be held, and above all there was no place in which public entertainments could take place”. The people of Cardiff banded together to raise the required funds at a Bazaar held on 4 June, attended by an “immense crowd”224. The Cardiff Hall was opened on 5 November 1915 by Mr AA Wilson MLA. In reporting the opening, the Collie Mail noted that the community had raised £156 to construct the hall, which was matched on a pound for pound basis by the Government. A further £100 was required to clear the debt owing on the construction of the hall. The hall was described as “fifty feet in length by forty in breath…with a height of fourteen feet from floor to ceiling. The building was of jarrah and possessed good acoustic properties. There was a good platform erected, and two ante-rooms were connected with the hall fitted with fire places, water etc.”225 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Cardiff Hall is a weatherboard, brick and iron hall with a separate verandah awning to the front. The roof is hipped and gabled, and clad in iron, with additions at varying pitches. The walls to the main hall are weathboard. There is a red face brick addition to the rear (toilet block) and a timber and Colorbond clad addition to the side. The main entrance has timber double doors, and there are multipaned windows either side. The large gable has a louvred section to the apex.


Very important to the heritage of the locality. High degree of integrity/authenticity. Conservation of the place is highly desirable. Any alterations or extensions should reinforce the significance of the place.
