DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Former Salisbury Methodist Church (now Salisbury Uniting Church)
Registered Name Former Salisbury Methodist Church
Significance The former Salisbury Methodist Church, opened in 1961, is an outstanding example of late twentieth-century ecclesiastical Modern Movement architecture in South Australia. South Australian architect W. Lance Brune's innovative, well-resolved design is notable for its dramatic and distinctive A-frame roof, feature cross and foundation stone and the exposed steel joist rafters of its chapel, contrasting with the flat roofs of the non-worship wings. These elements are unified through the use of similar materials, details and modular construction units throughout the exterior of the complex. The former Salisbury Methodist Church was the prototype that inspired numerous other true A-frame churches subsequently built in South Australia.

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.
