Belair Railway Station & Signal Box |
| Registered Name |
Belair Railway Station and Signal Box |
| Significance |
The Belair Railway Station is significant because of its association with the construction of the Adelaide-Nairne railway in 1879-83. The line was an ambitious engineering feat undertaken to link Adelaide ultimately with Melbourne and the eastern states. The station buildings, constructed at a time of rapid expansion of the South Australian rail network, are a good, intact example of 19th century timber, iron and steel design and construction. The railway station also played an important role as the nearest public transport stop to National Park, the State's first and only national park 1891- 1919 (HSA, 1/2000). |

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 Development Plans, 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 relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
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.
