Pureba is a locality in the Australian state of
South Australia located on the west coast of
Eyre Peninsula and on land to the immediate north of the peninsula about 528 kilometres (328 miles) north-west of the state capital of
Adelaide and about 52 kilometres (32 miles) north-east and 90 kilometres (56 miles) north respectively of the municipal seats of
Ceduna and
Streaky Bay.[1][5]
Pureba's boundaries were created in January 1999 with its name ultimately derived from Pureba Hill, a hill located within its boundaries.[1][12]
Pureba’s boundaries were altered on 26 April 2013 “to ensure the whole of the
Pureba Conservation Park is within the locality of the same name.”[1]
The land use within Pureba is mainly concerned with the Pureba Conservation Park, although “approved mineral exploration and mining” is allowed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.[13]
^The locality of Kondoolka appears twice in the list of adjoining localities for Pureba's eastern boundary because Yondoolka fully surrounds the locality of Pinjarra Station on all sides except on the boundary with Pureba.
