DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Former Hospital, Church and Manse of former Ernabella Mission
Registered Name Former Hospital, Church and Manse of former Ernabella Mission
Significance The three earliest surviving buildings associated with the former Mission are of significance for their association with the Presbyterian Church of Australia's Ernabella Mission, a medical mission established in 1937 to provide health care to the Anangu people of the Central Western Desert and beyond. The former Hospital was the primary site of health care and in this role, and a later one as a production and broadcasting facility for locally produced television, the building has played an important role in supporting the people and their culture. The former Manse and Church are associated with the early efforts of the Mission, a mission that retains a place in Australian history as one of the few missions to nurture and support Aboriginal people and culture. (HSA Assessment Report 3/2001).

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.
