History

House, 38 Winton Street was built as part of the Group Settlement Scheme c 1930 at Wonnerup. After the scheme failed, the house was relocated to Bunbury by E J Hastie. Mr Hastie recalled that it cost about £40 and at the time, the land around the house comprised about 5 acres and the Hastie family had few neighbours and services until the development of Carey Park in the post-world War II period. The Wonnerup Group Settlement Scheme was one of a number developed in the 1920s and 1930s to expand settlement and agricultural development throughout the South West of the state. Winton Street was named for Charles Winton Higgins, a prominent citizen of Bunbury. Charles Higgins was a Bunbury councillor from 1926 to 1935 and again from 1937 to 1940, as well as a founding member of the St John Ambulance in Bunbury (1943-1947). The house has been demolished.
