Registered Name DSTO (former Salisbury Explosives Factory) Site - Portion of the Base Repair Facility (Former TNT Section) - Buildings 1,6,7,8,10 and 14
Significance The buildings forming the group reflect the key physical features of the entire site with the structures being of red brick and corrugated sheet roofing. Their arrangement also reflects the key feature of each original section that represented a physical transition from the guardhouse at the entrance, to the administration building to the change rooms, then the process buildings. This selection of buildings is of heritage significance for the manner in which it reflects the functions of the area when part of the explosives factory and its identification with each of the significant uses of the site since that time.

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.
