History

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”. 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. Lot 363 is shown on an unnamed street on a 1912 plan 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.
