Concordia is a locality at the western end of the Barossa Valley, South Australia, situated 5 km ENE of Gawler.
History
Concordia was a subdivision of section 465, Hundred of Barossa in 1877, and named after Concordia School, which had been opened by Frederick Sickovich in 1861 or earlier.[4] It is situated north of the Barossa Valley Way, between Gawler and Sandy Creek and south of the North Para River. The current boundaries were set in 2003.[3]
Manning asserts that it was named for Concordia, the Roman Goddess of Peace and Harmony,[4] and is very commonly used in connection with Lutheran institutions.
The Concordia cemetery is located on the west side of Teusner Road.
A housing development is set to be unleashed in Concordia for residential purposes. Proposals are being mooted to extend the existing Gawler line via the disused line to cater as a quick and reliable public transport option.[5][6][7][8]
