He drew plans for churches, schools, presbyteries, residential houses, hotels, stores, the Atherton hospital and silos for the Atherton Tablelands Maize Board. Most of the buildings were constructed. Some have since been demolished. Two have been heritage listed: the 1930s extension to the Bolands Centre in Cairns and Exchange Hotel in Mossman.

Two photograph albums: Photograph album, 1896 to 1908, ‘Family and historic photographs taken and developed by W C Voller, 1896 on', some photographs in this album were taken by Edward Day Bird; and Photograph album, ‘Family and historic photographs taken and developed by W C Voller, 1906 on’, 1906 – 1915. Some captions in this album by Walter Voller, others by one of his children. In these captions Ellen and Walter Voller are referred to as ‘Mum’ and ‘Dad’ and Roderic and Lilla by their first names.
