History
The Pemberton Mill Workers’ Cottages Precinct is a complex of single
storey timber weatherboard residences , including related structures with
corrugated iron roofs, in the Federation Bungalow and Inter-War
Bungalow style in Pemberton, in Broadway, Brockman St, Dean St, Pine
St, Kelly St and Karri Rise. The cottages were built by the State Saw
Mills from C1913-1914-20, 1924-26 and C1951 to accommodate
workers employed at the Big Brook (Pemberton) timber mill. The mill
was erected in 1913 on Reserve 16354, held by the State Saw Mills on a
999 year lease.
In 1930 a small experimental trout hatchery was built at Pemberton. This
was later expanded into a more substantial hatchery which has created a
successful trout business for the town.
In 1932 Pemberton became the first and only town in WA to be powered
by hydro-electricity.
After 1945 a number of new houses were built to accommodate those
returning from service in the Armed Services. The design of the houses
in this era was sometimes different from those of the earlier period,
although the use of karri was consistent.
In the early 1990s a programme of upgrading the interior and exterior of
the mill worker’s houses was commenced. Efforts to use an exterior
stain were not successful, and the programme was curtailed.
By 1992 the mill cottages had become recognized as ‘an historic
precinct’. In 1995/97 the precinct was included in the Shire of Manjimup
Municipal Heritage Inventory, recommending it for entry into the State
Register of heritage Places.
In Feb 2000 Bunnings Forest Products became Sotico Pty Ltd.
In 2001 the Shire of Manjimup recognized the precinct’s historical and
townscape significance and the recreational and tourist importance of the
precinct, developing a policy to ensure that the character of the precinct
as a whole was retained and the buildings within it. Planning approval is
required for any demolition or removal of buildings, and for any
additions and works which affect the external appearance of the
buildings.
