Village Settlements were agricultural towns established in Queensland during the 1880s as a means to attract settlers.
In a bid to create a sense of community, these settlements consisted of a centralised village centre surround by 40 or 80 acre allotments.
Settlers would be assigned two allotments: a lot within the village where they could establish a home, and a larger allotment for farming.
The success of the scheme was largely influenced by the accessibility of the locations.
The scheme was reportedly drafted by Sir Samuel Griffith
