weatherboard cottages, all constructed in a similar era, although with different external
appearances.

area.

Physical Description
A precinct of timber weatherboard and iron cottages laid out according to garden city
planning and including landscape elements and remnant bushland.
History
The suburb was developed by Hawker Siddeley (owners of both the Dwellingup and
Banksiadale mills) in the late 1950s.
Nine dwellings c.1910s from Dwellingup were relocated to the new subdivision on Sollya
Crescent. Eight of these homes are still extant, with one cottage being destroyed in the
1961 fire.
In the 1950s, the State Government announced plans to construct a new dam near
Banksiadale (now the South Dandalup dam), which would mean the destruction of the town.
In 1959, Hawker Siddeley tendered the c.1910s buildings from Banksiadale, with 25 being
sold and relocated to the new subdivision at Marginata Crescent. This settlement became
known as the ‘Hawker Siddeley Settlement’.
