The foundation stone of St Philip & St James Anglican Church, Noarlunga, was laid by Bishop Short on 26 July 1850. The Rev. E.K. Miller served the Aldinga–Noarlunga–Willunga parish for 29 years without missing a service — his parishioners gifted him a buggy for the trouble. The church closed in 2019 and is now privately owned.

Built in 1841 by William Holly, the Golden Pheasant Inn stood on Gates Road in Hackham's original township — opposite Holly's own cottage.By 1873 it had lost its licence. William eventually sold up and returned to England, passing the property to his son Charles. The old inn fell into ruin and was later demolished.

The Crown Inn was among Reynella's first buildings when John Reynell opened the land for allotments in 1854. Robert Hay, previously of the Victoria Hotel at Tapley's Hill, established the inn the following year. Hay died on 20 January 1862, after which the hotel passed through many hands. Opposite the old horse changing station, it was a natural stop for coaches heading south and a gathering place for locals.
