[3] Peter Albany Bell, following his retirement in 1928, purchased 3,750 acres (1,520 ha) in Roelands not far from Bunbury, where he established the Chandler Home for Unemployed Boys – a philanthropic venture that stemmed from his time as a Justice of the Peace in the Children's Court, and his observations of how young offenders and miscreants were treated in the United States while on a business trip in 1915.
It accommodated over 500 children of the Stolen Generations over the subsequent 34 years, some from as far as the Pilbara region.
[2] On 1 July 1973, the name changed to Roelands Homes Incorporated, and was part of the Missionary Fellowship group, along with other organisations running similar missions.
In this era Roelands had several satellite properties, including Wollaston in Bunbury and the Valima Girls' Hostel in Perth.
