DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) The Fletcher's Slip Precinct (including the former Fletcher's and Dunnikier Slipways Sites and Associated Structures)
Registered Name The Fletcher's Slip Precinct (including the former Fletcher's and Dunnikier Slipways Sites and Associated Structures)
Significance The Fletcher's Slip Precinct, which includes the site of the original (1851) Fletcher's Slip, the remaining portion of the Dunnikier Slip (1867) and associated structures, is significant as the site of the first commercial slip, shipbuilding and repair premises in Port Adelaide. Its most significant period of operation was between 1851 and 1987, and the slips and associated buildings represent the longest serving, relatively extant such site in Port Adelaide and the state and the ongoing development of the state's premier port. The site demonstrates a complicated history of adaptation to changes in ownership, technologies and demand typical of many industrial sites and has the potential to provide further information on the development of shipbuilding technology and the site itself over a period of 130 years (HB Assessment Report 5/2009).

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.
