The former Alice Springs Repeater Station and Post Office, built in 1931, are of cultural significance to the NT because they are associated with the period of growth arising from the implementation of the North Australia Act: Stuart was designated as the administrative capital of Central Australia in 1927; and the railway arrived in in 1929.
Construction of new postal and telegraph facilities in the central business district was an important part of the town's ability to function as the new capital and service centre for the region.
