| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Former Levels Homestead Stables |
| Registered Name |
'The Levels' Homestead |
| Significance |
Built in 1876 on land which was originally part of the early pastoral expansion immediately to the north of Adelaide in the 1840s, the stables of the Levels homestead are significant for their association with what, for a time, was one of the nation's and South Australia's premier merino sheep breeding enterprises. Sheep from the Levels were exhibited around the world and were important in establishing South Australia's position as a quality merino producer. Originally owned by Charles B Fisher, founder of one of the largest pastoral empires in Australia, and later sold to William Pitts, The Levels was also noted for horse breeding activities which were of great importance to the racing and trotting industries in South Australia. If it was assessed under the current Heritage Act (1993) it would meet criteria a & g. (HSA 01/2002). |

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.
