OBSERVATIONS
Waikerie West: The 1982 aerial photograph indicates a similar site layout to the 1972 aerial photograph.
Similarly, adjacent areas did not present significant changes, with the exception of the block across the
north‐eastern corner of the allotment, where cropping was replaced by a new sport centre with tennis
courts, swimming pool, and other facilities.
Waikerie East: The 1982 aerial photograph indicates a similar site layout to the 1972 aerial photograph.
However, minor changes can be observed, such as tree removal at 4 locations in the northern and central
sections, new housing at 4 locations in the northern and central sections, new tree plantation at a property
in the central section, and the development of a small crop on a property in the southern section. As a
whole, the road network layout was maintained; however the intersection of Dunstone Drive with Checker
Road was modified. Adjacent areas at Southern, Northern and Western boundaries have had minor
modifications during the period. At eastern, adjacent areas have had the addition of 2 new houses and a
few tracks. The north‐western adjacent area was significantly altered, where the Golf Course was replaced
by both buildings and 2 sedimentation ponds (part of a new winery), and additional buildings were
developed in the area as well.
Waikerie West: The 1993 aerial photograph indicates no major changes in relation to 1982 aerial
photograph. Most of adjacent areas continue unchanged, with the exception of areas to the eastern
boundary, where some areas were converted from agricultural use to urban use. Additionally, Smith Drive
was asphalt paved and its large allotments sub‐divided into small urban blocks.
Waikerie East: The 1993 aerial photograph indicates the site appears to have not changed significantly since
the 1982 aerial photograph; nevertheless, the area was further developed by the addition of some new
houses across the whole area and a greenhouses in property on Checker Rd opposite to Curtis Rd. It can be
observed minor expansion of cropping areas as well. Moreover, the property on Dunstone Rd opposite to
the Winery appears to be a deposit in 1993. Road infrastructure has improved during this period with the
asphalt paving of the following roads: Curtis Rd, Northern Section of Dunstone Rd, and Northern Section of
Searle Rd. Adjacent areas did not present major changes, yet some few houses and cropping areas were
developed and a car deposit was established on Curtis Rd. Maggea Rd was asphalt paved up to intersection
with Vasey Rd.
