Heavitree Gap Police Station
Heavitree Gap Police Station, Historic police station in Ilparpa, Australia.
The police station building stands at the southwestern edge of Heavitree Gap, featuring traditional architectural elements of Northern Territory law enforcement structures.
Established in 1879 when Mounted Constable William Wilshire relocated the police camp from Alice Springs Telegraph Station to its current location at Heavitree Gap.
The station represents a significant site of early interactions between European law enforcement and Aboriginal communities in Central Australia during the settlement period.
Located at 205 Len Kittle Drive in Ilparpa, the station maintains its status as both an active police facility and a protected heritage site.
The building received official recognition as a public gaol under the Prison Act 1869 in 1904, marking its dual role in local law enforcement.
