A group of Federation Cottages along Glebe Road and Watkins Street in The Junction have been endorsed by Newcastle City Council to be listed as Heritage conservated buildings.
The single-storey cottage dwellings originally constructed between 1909 and 1915, are listed as the first strip of buildings within the residential subdivision of the time, running along 53-75 Glebe Road and 4 Watkins Street.
Newcastle Council has endorsed the proposal and hoping to gain support from the public in order for the heritage buildings to be conservated for the future enjoyment of tourists and locals alike.
The determination has so far been approved by the Minister of Planning, with the proposal to be on exhibition to the public from today until the 12th of June.
The site would be number seven on the Heritage Site protection list, with the likes of other buildings located around the Newcastle area; including the suburbs of Cooks Hill, Newcastle East, The Hill, Hamilton South (Garden Suburb), Hamilton Beaumont Street and Newcastle City Centre.
