DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Former RAAF No 10 Radar Station (Yankalilla)
Registered Name Former RAAF No 10 Radar Station (Yankalilla)
Significance The former RAAF No 10 Radar Station (Yankalilla) is a rare surviving example of the measures adopted for the defence of Australia from coastal attack during World War II, and one of the two best-preserved wartime RAAF radar station sites in South Australia. It is the more intact of the two Light Weight Air Warning (LWAW) radar stations to be brought into operation during the war, using the newly developed lighter and more portable LWAW radar systems, which also had a longer range. The station provided protection to the sea approaches to Adelaide and the industrial cities of Spencer Gulf.

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.
