During the 1970s and 1980s the government encouraged non-government care providers to move away from large institutions and develop smaller group residential care for children in need. After the passing of the Community Welfare Act in 1972, non-government agencies were required to sign agreements with the government and to adhere to standards of residential care.
During the 1980s the Anglican Church opened a number of cottages and units in various areas. These included Claring-bould Cottage which the Annual Reports of Anglican Child Care Services show was open by 1982. In 1984 Claring-bould Cottage was closed and then reopened in December 1985 in a new location at Vicar Street, Gilles Plains.
As with other Cottage Homes, Claring-bould Cottage was designed to accommodate around eight to ten children in a home-like atmosphere which potentially allowed for more individual attention. More research is required to confirm the original location of Claring-bould Cottage.
