Moreton Central Sugar Mill Worker's Housing

The residential complex consists of timber cottages located at 17 and 19 Mill Street, along with additional houses at 14 and 16 Bury Street.

Built between 1897 and 1917, these houses provided accommodation for employees of the Moreton Central Sugar Mill, which operated until its closure in 2003.

The different sizes and locations of the houses reflect the staff hierarchy within the sugar mill, with larger residences designated for senior management positions.

The strategic placement of these houses near the mill allowed workers to maintain constant supervision and quick access to the facility during operations.

These timber structures remain as the final physical evidence of Queensland's sugar industry development, which transformed Nambour into a regional center.
