Update: September 2023
Following the conclusion of the consultation period on the Draft National Heritage Management Plan for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout, Council is in the process of considering the submissions received and appropriate amendments to the Policy. The draft National Heritage Management Plan with recommended changes to the Plan arising from public consultation will be considered by Council in November 2023
Project Information
The City of Adelaide have engaged Adelaide based Swanbury Penglase Architects to develop a National Heritage Management Plan (HMP) for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout that has been developed in accordance with the Burra Charter (The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance 2013) and the Federal Government’s guidelines for Managing National Heritage Places.
It is intended the HMP will be used as a tool by the Council, State and Commonwealth Government agencies, and managers to understand the National Heritage Values, and to inform future development, conservation decision making and management strategies for the area. The HMP seeks to:
- Identify and provide a description of the heritage values and their attributes
- Guide future decision-making for conservation, interpretation, and visitation
- Provide management policies and strategies to ensure the condition, integrity and physical components of the values are maintained and appropriately cared for
The background historical research and site analysis provides an understanding of the place and reinforces the existing established National Heritage Values. A number of issues and opportunities which currently or potentially may impact on the National Heritage Values have been identified including: the statutory context; cultural landscape; understanding the attributes of National Heritage Value; alienation and cumulative development of Park Lands; Management by the Adelaide Park Lands Act, City of Adelaide, State Government, Kaurna Miyurna (Kaurna People), Leaseholders, and Others; Kaurna Cultural Heritage; Use; Climate Change; Tourism; Interpretation; and other further opportunities. Specific policies have been developed to address the implications of these issues. These address the implications and responsibilities as a result of the National Heritage Listing. Consequently, a list of recommended priorities and actions have been developed.
Background
On 21 March 2022 Council received a letter from the Federal Minister for the Environment advising that the City of Adelaide was successful in receiving a grant under the 2021-2022 Australian Heritage Grants Program to prepare a National Heritage Management Plan (HMP) for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout.
Swanbury Penglase were subsequently engaged as the expert consultant team to develop the HMP and have since prepared the HMP to guide the future management and conservation of the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout.
This project is identified as an action in the adopted Council Heritage Strategy 2021-2036.
Consultation
The consultant team identified several key issues and opportunities which impact on the attributes of heritage value. We asked stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposed policies to manage the National Heritage Values of the Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout including:
- With reference to these attributes of heritage value, are there key threats, issues or opportunities that have not been included within the Heritage Management Plan?
- With reference to the Heritage Management Plan policies proposed, are there:
- aspects of the proposed policies that concern you?
- policies that conflict with other government/Council policy or long-term objectives?
- areas of conservation policy not covered by the Plan which would assist you to better understand the National Heritage Values and guide your activities in the Park Lands?
- Are there any key issues and opportunities that affect the conservation of the Park Lands and its ongoing use that have not been included in the Heritage Management Plan?
- From the list of actions proposed by the Heritage Management Plan, what actions do you believe are the highest priority?
