Territory Heritage Minister Marion Scrymgour has announced that two sites in Alice Springs will now be heritage-listed.

The sites are the Seven Mile aerodrome at the Alice Springs Airport and the Pioneer drive-in cinema. Ms. Scrymgour says the drive-in was built in 1963 and is the only remaining drive-in in the Territory.

She says the developers of the site will put the screen back into use and will incorporate it into a new resort.

"To integrate, you know, the screen, the cafe, projector room and the open spaces and integrating that as part of the development is a job well done and I congratulate all that have been involved, and we can still maintain certainly the heritage and the significance of that area," she said.
