collapsible-block" id="mf-section-1"> The Grove Street Pensioners' Cottages were built by Cairns City Council from 1953 to <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1958 as part of a scheme subsidised by the <a href="/wiki/Queensland_Government" title="Queensland Government">Queensland Government</a> for providing affordable accommodation for old age pensioners. Located on a reserve in Grove Street in the Cairns suburb of Parramatta Park, the complex comprises eight small timber cottages arranged in a curved layout surrounded by lawns and gardens. They were the first of their type to be built in Cairns and are an important surviving example of a largely intact pensioners' cottages scheme.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> The city of Cairns in tropical far north Queensland was established in 1876 as a port to service the newly discovered <a href="/wiki/Hodgkinson_goldfields" class="mw-redirect" title="Hodgkinson goldfields">Hodgkinson goldfields</a>, and its first local authority, the <a href="/wiki/Cairns_Divisional_Board" class="mw-redirect" title="Cairns Divisional Board">Cairns Divisional Board</a>, was established in 1879. Initial progress was slow until the establishment of a local sugar industry and the opening up of the <a href="/wiki/Atherton_Tableland" title="Atherton Tableland">Atherton Tableland's</a> mineral fields in the early 1880s. Early industries in the region, such as sugar farming and timber harvesting, created a demand for improved transport facilities to the harbour. In 1885 Cairns was constituted a municipality, and the announcement that Cairns was to be the terminus for the <a href="/wiki/Tablelands_railway_line,_Queensland" class="mw-redirect" title="Tablelands railway line, Queensland">Herberton railway</a> established the town as the principal port in the region.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-1-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1b-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1c-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1d-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> Progress and growth continued in the early 20th century. The Cairns Municipal Council became the <a href="/wiki/Town_of_Cairns" class="mw-redirect" title="Town of Cairns">Cairns Town Council</a> on 31 March 1903, which in turn became the Cairns City Council on 13 October 1923. By this stage the population had reached 8000. This rose to 12,000 by 1933, and 15,700 by 1941. After the disruption of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, post-war optimism and prosperity saw development increase and the population grow to 21,018 by June 1954. Of this number, 2099 Cairns residents, (approximately 10% of the population) were aged 60 and over.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-2-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-2b-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-2c-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-2d-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-2e-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-2f-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> Queensland's social fabric is supported by a network of social security and welfare services provided by the Queensland and <a href="/wiki/Australian_Government" title="Australian Government">Australian</a> Governments and voluntary organisations to disadvantaged persons. Until the late-19th century, however, no such government aid existed in Queensland, with most of the responsibility for providing relief falling upon voluntary organisations. In the 1890s, the Queensland Government provided residential institutions and subsidies to voluntary organisations in aid of orphans, the mentally ill, the destitute, the aged, and the infirm. The <a href="/wiki/Dunwich_Benevolent_Asylum" title="Dunwich Benevolent Asylum">Dunwich Benevolent Asylum</a> on <a href="/wiki/North_Stradbroke_Island" title="North Stradbroke Island">North Stradbroke Island</a> (established 1866, closed 1945), operated with minimal services and at times could not meet demand for admission. Factors such as increased longevity and the 1890s economic depression saw many families unable to care for aged relatives, and with the system of private charity proving inadequate, the Queensland Government was forced to act.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-3-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-3b-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> In 1907 Queensland implemented a system of non-contributory age pensions, followed shortly after by the Australian Government, which provided a national system in 1909. The intention of the pension scheme was to provide relief for the aged poor that did not involve the stigma associated with charitable aid, or take away individuals' freedom. The age pension was initially 10 shillings a week, available to males and females aged 65 years and over (lowered to 60 years for females in 1910) and to persons aged 60–64 who were permanently incapacitated for work. It was subject to a character and residence test with limitations imposed on income and property.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-9-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-4b-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> The site of the Grove Street Pensioners' Cottages in the Cairns suburb of Parramatta Park has a long history of accommodating poor and aged Cairns residents. It was originally part of a railway reserve, with the first stage of the Cairns railway line (constructed 1886-87) running through it. The railway line was deviated in 1910–11 to its present position on the north-eastern side of Lily Creek, and over the following decades negotiations and disagreements about how to use the former railway land (known as the Martyn Street reserve) took place between Cairns City Council and the Queensland Government.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-5-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> In 1921 part of the Martyn Street reserve, south of Grove Street, was allocated as a site for old age pensioners to reside.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-6-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Pensioners' reserves, where old age pensioners unable to afford other forms of accommodation could build themselves a hut or shelter to live in, existed in many Queensland towns and some suburbs of <a href="/wiki/Brisbane" title="Brisbane">Brisbane</a> in the early 20th century. Administered by the local authorities, who issued permits to pensioners wishing to reside there, it was a cheap but ultimately inadequate way of housing the poorest members of the community. Self-built huts were not connected to water or electricity and were vulnerable to bad weather and being destroyed by fire. Several pensioners' reserves existed at different times in Cairns, including one at <a href="/wiki/Bungalow,_Queensland" title="Bungalow, Queensland">Bungalow</a>.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-7-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto1-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> A proposal to provide better accommodation for Cairns pensioners was considered by Cairns City Council in September 1926, when the Works Committee recommended that three cottages be erected by the council, to be let at a nominal rental to approved local pensioners. An article in <a href="/wiki/The_Cairns_Post" title="The Cairns Post">The Cairns Post</a> on 27 November 1926 stated that the council had approved the scheme, however whether or not these cottages were constructed is unclear, as shortly afterwards the pensioners were relocated further north within the Martyn Street reserve, to an area on the southern side of Charles Street. By September 1928 this area had been partly fenced and a water source provided. It was here that the pensioners established themselves, living in tents and small self-built huts.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-8-30">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto1-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto2-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> Between 1910 and 1950 the number of old age pensioners in Queensland rose from 8,561 to 45,937. As the population grew and the pension rate failed to keep pace with rising costs of living, pensioners found it increasingly difficult to afford decent accommodation. A Courier Mail article printed in June 1950 summed up the housing plight faced by hundreds of pensioners living a "hand to mouth" existence, with a lack of proper accommodation forcing many of them to live in small rooms with inadequate facilities. Homes for the aged were too few to handle the number of pensioners seeking accommodation, with at least 1000 waiting for admission to homes in the Brisbane area alone.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-9-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-25-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> From the 1920s the Queensland Government had established institutions for the aged, infirm and/or destitute in different parts of the state. The first purpose-built government home for the aged, named "Eventide", was opened at <a href="/wiki/Charters_Towers" title="Charters Towers">Charters Towers</a> in 1929, providing accommodation for 150 inmates. Unlike the Dunwich asylum, which housed inmates in large dormitories, Charters Towers inmates were provided with "single and double huts, each having its own small garden plot".

A third "Eventide" was opened in <a href="/wiki/Rockhampton" title="Rockhampton">Rockhampton</a> in 1950, offering similar hut accommodation to Charters Towers, arranged within a complex including hospital wards, a workshop/library, a recreation building and kitchen, dining, bathing and laundry facilities.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-10-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> The alternatives to Government-run institutions were benevolent institutions and homes for the aged run by charities and religious organisations.

The Mayor, William Henry Murchison, replied that an amount for a cottage scheme had been placed on the council's loan budget, and in December 1950 the council passed a resolution to borrow £1500 for erecting six cottages.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-27-77">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto4-76">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> Approval for this loan and the £1500 state government subsidy was granted in February 1951, and the Mayor announced that tenders for erecting the cottages would be called shortly.

The approved plans and specifications, dated October 1952, were for small, individual cottages containing two rooms – a kitchen and bedroom – each 10 by 8 feet (3.0 by 2.4 m), as well as a stove recess and an 8-by-5-foot (2.4 by 1.5 m) front verandah. They were to be timber-framed, clad in chamferboards with a gable roof clad in corrugated asbestos cement sheeting. Standing on low concrete stumps, access was to be via front and rear timber stairs. Internally, floors were to be of hardwood, walls and partitions lined with plywood, and the ceilings and stove recesses lined with fibrous cement sheeting. Joinery consisted of framed, ledged and braced timber doors, timber casement windows with "obscured fancy glass", and glass louvres to the stove recesses. The cottages were to be laid out in a crescent formation, with plenty of space for gardens at the front and rear. Two earth closets and a laundry/shower block were to be located behind the cottages.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-31-86">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> The site for the cottages was facing Grove Street at the southern end of the pensioners' reserve, away from the existing pensioners' huts. Construction of the cottages took place in stages, with the first cottage (the centre cottage today), one laundry block and one earth closet completed by November 1953. In April 1954, a contract to construct four cottages (two each on either side of the existing cottage) and one earth closet was signed by contractor L Davey and the work was likely undertaken in late 1954. In September 1954, Cairns City Council announced its intention to borrow an additional £500 to defray the cost of erecting the pensioners' cottages.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-32-88">[88]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-38-89">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a><a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a><a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a><a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a><a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto4-76">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> Aerial photographs show the remaining three cottages (one at either end of the crescent and one set behind at the southwest end) and laundry building at Grove Street were built after May 1957, concurrent with a second pensioners' cottages scheme being constructed in Cairns for women and married couples, located in Pease Street. The Pease Street site was first investigated by council in early 1954, and construction of the first stage of pensioners' cottages commenced there in late 1956. Cairns City Council meeting minute books from 1955 to 1958 refer to applications for additional loans (with matching subsidies from the state government) and the use of day labour to erect pensioner cottages, but there is no distinction made between the two sites. The Grove Street site was likely completed in 1958, comprising a total of eight cottages, seven of which were arranged in a crescent and linked by a curved driveway, two laundry buildings, and two earth closets. The Pease Street site grew to comprise 15 cottages, arranged in two straight rows, and an unknown number of outbuildings.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-33-96">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a><a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a><a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a><a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a><a href="#cite_note-102">[102]</a><a href="#cite_note-103">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-104">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-105">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> As the first pensioners' cottages to be built in Cairns, the Grove Street cottages set the pattern for further pensioner housing to be built in the region.

In the 1980s a bathroom extension was added to the rear of the bedroom of each cottage, and the front verandahs were enclosed. The laundry/shower blocks were subsequently used for storage, and have recently been demolished. All cottages had their roof sheeting replaced by 1990 and the exterior walls have been covered with vinyl panels replicating timber boards. Other additions include roof ventilators and security screens. In 2017, most of the Grove Street Pensioners' Cottages continue to be occupied by elderly pensioners and the site remains under the trusteeship of <a href="/wiki/Cairns_Regional_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Cairns Regional Council">Cairns Regional Council</a>.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-38-89">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto5-126">[126]</a><a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a><a href="#cite_note-138">[138]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto3-72">[72]</a><a href="#cite_note-139">[139]</a><a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> The heritage listing in August 2017 was controversial as the Cairns Regional Council had proposed to redevelop the site with 20 to 30 modern affordable dwellings with better mobility access. Following the nomination for heritage listing, the council suggested that two of the cottages should be relocated and refurbished for the purposes of heritage listing, arguing they had outlived their usefulness as public housing. Critics of the 1950s cottages described them as "asbestos ridden" "huts" and did not think they were worthy of heritage listing as "they're pretty bloody ordinary". However, the final decision was to list all 8 of the cottages in situ.<a href="#cite_note-140">[140]</a><a href="#cite_note-141">[141]</a><a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Grove_Street_Pensioners%27_Cottages&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Description" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_(EHP,_2017).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg/220px-Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="750"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg/220px-Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg/330px-Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg/440px-Cottages_1_and_2_at_northeast_end_of_row_%28EHP%2C_2017%29.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Front view of cottages 1 and 2, 2017</figcaption></figure> The Grove Street Pensioners' Cottages occupy a southeast-facing 0.33-hectare (0.82-acre) site on Grove Street in the Cairns suburb of Parramatta Park.

Pensioners' Cottages schemes, which were built by local authorities with the aid of a State Government subsidy offered from 1945, were an important social welfare initiative that allowed pensioners to lead independent lives in their local districts, and were an alternative to aged care homes and institutions.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> The Grove Street cottages were the first of their type to be built in Cairns and are important surviving evidence of a largely intact pensioners' cottages scheme.<a href="#cite_note-qhr-1">[1]</a> The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a particular class of cultural places.
