| Registered Name |
DSTO (former Salisbury Explosives Factory) Site - Portion of the Industrial Explosives area (Former Bomb Filling Section) - Buildings 5, 7, 9, 11, 20 & 37 and associated bunding and lightning arresters |
| Significance |
The buildings forming this group reflect the key physical features of the entire explosives factory site with the structures of red brick and corrugated sheet roofing. The design of the buildings is utilitarian and reflects their original use. Building 5 is of singular design and features an arrangement of overhead wires on large stobie poles to protect the building from lightening strikes.
Original earthen bunding surrounds Building 5 and associated magazines and process buildings.
This selection of buildings is of heritage significance for the manner in which the design of the buildings and associated bunding reflects the essential function of the former explosives factory and because of its identification with each of the significant uses of the site for defence science since that time. |
