DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Tantanoola Railway Station & Goods Shed
Registered Name Tantanoola Railway Station & Goods Shed
Significance This Railway Station, built in 1880, together with the corrugated iron barrel-vaulted goods shed, is one of the oldest remaining railway buildings in the South East. This station was built as part of the rail link from Mount Gambier to Beachport, which was opened on 19 May 1879 and therefore represents the earliest period in this region's railway history. The line was built to permit agricultural produce to be exported through Beachport. The line from Adelaide via Wolseley was connected with the South East network in June 1887. The station became unattended on 1 May 1980.

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 Development Plans, 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 relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.

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.
