DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Saltwater Intake and Pumping Station, Rossiters Point
Registered Name Saltwater Intake and Pumping Station, Rossiters Point
Significance The Saltwater Intake and Pumping Station was integral to the operation of the Cementation Plant at Moonta Mines. All other elements of this plant, apart from the pipeline which runs from this site to Moonta Mines through the town, are within the Moonta Mines State Heritage Area. This site played an important part in re-treating the massive volumes of tailings in the Moonta Mines tailings heaps. It demonstrates the development of a new technology which was adapted from Spain and shows the importance of seawater in the process. (Yorke Peninsula Heritage Survey 1997).

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Council areas, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
