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.^[3] 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.^[2]

Manning asserts that it was named for Concordia, the Roman Goddess of Peace and Harmony,^[3] 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.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
