DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Burra State Heritage Area [see also National Heritage Place ID: 106304]
Registered Name
Significance The Burra State Heritage Area is of significance to the economic and social history of South Australia, and is a testament to the success of copper mining in the area. In the late 1840s, the Burra Mine made South Australia the most prosperous colony in Australia. At one stage the mine was the second largest producer of copper in the world. Comprising the mining area and a complex of what were originally separate townships which are now merged into one, the area provides evidence of early mining, industrial and urban functions with Welsh and Cornish influences.

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.
