Statements of Cultural Significance
North Terrace represents the most important corridor in the cultural development and
expression of the City and the State of South Australia. Around this corridor is clustered some
of the most important and culturally significant institutions and places that have witnessed
events, activities and exhibitions that demonstrate the growth, maturation and cultural
advancement of the colony and state. The North Terrace ‘Promenade’ has featured as an
integral part of this corridor providing a pedestrian and vehicular route as part of this function
but also a setting in which such institutions are accessed and placed on public display. The
NORTH TERRACE: 1033
space, the width of the ‘Promenade’, has remained consistent since its survey by Light, but over
the years the internal physical dimensions of the ‘promenade’, in terms of footpath, footpaths,
lawn and garden, roadway, have altered. In the main they have remained consistent since the
1870s less the erosion of the gardens in the 1920s and 30s to accommodate buses and electric
tramways especially in front of the Royal Adelaide Hospital. The larger portion of the
‘promenade’ comprises the strip of park land between King William Road and Frome Road
within which a dual pathway system enveloping a mature park land or Gardenesque space was
created under Owen Smyth in the 1860s-70s and thence renovated under Pelzer in 1911-12 and
then the early 1930s, before the current renovation under Taylor Cullity Lethlean in 2001-05 that
affects only the central tract of this ‘promenade’ portion. Of these, the Prince Henry Gardens
and the State War Memorial Plaza remain as the most intact places in the ‘promenade’ and
harness strong cultural, social, and symbolic associations with the history, memory, and cultural
development of the colony and state. North Terrace represents the cultural door to the state
today, the major place to gather, reflect and celebrate, and an important circulation corridor.
Recommendations:
Seek the removal of ETSA infrastructure from the North Terrace ‘promenade’;
Remove all overhead wires and stobie poles from the North Terrace ‘promenade’;
Revise City of Adelaide Development Plan citations pertaining to CA1, I1, I2, I3, and
CA16 to reflect the above conclusions and recommendations;
Prepare nominations to the National Trust of South Australia Significant Tree
Register for the trees identified in the above tables;
Prepare nominations to the State Heritage Register under the Heritage Act, 1993, for
the trees, places, structures and features identified in the above tables as being of state
heritage significance;
Implement the recommendations and policies of the Government House, Adelaide,
Landscape Conservation Study (2003) and Government House, Adelaide, Landscape Master Plan
(2003) including plantings, furniture, circulation system treatments, entry gate design
proposals that underpin the historical and cultural character of the Area today;
Propose Prince Henry Gardens precinct including the space, statuary, English Elm
(Ulmus procera) trees, lamp standards, garden hooping, timber posts, toilet, plaques,
walling, pathways, and plantings, and clearly delineate these components as forming
the, as the Prince Henry Gardens State Heritage Area on the basis of social, design,
historical, aesthetic significance merit reasons;
Prepare a Conservation Study and Landscape Master Plan for the above Area
recommended Prince Henry Gardens State Heritage Area recognising the early 1900s and
subsequent early 1930s period statuary, plantings, furniture, pedestrian path
treatments, and plaques that were applied in this Area, which underpin the historical
and cultural character of the Area today, and consider options for progressive tree
replacement plantings as necessary, any renovations to the extant irrigation systems to

minimize any new system installations, and establish a policy as to future plaque and
statuary introduction into the Area;
Propose the State War Memorial Plaza precinct including the space, war memorials,
trees, lamp standards, garden bedding design, timber posts, plaques, walling, pathways,
plantings, and the open vista from North Terrace roadway to the memorial, and
clearly delineate these components as forming the Area, as the State War Memorial State
Heritage Area on the basis of symbolic, social, design, historical, aesthetic significance
merit reasons;
Prepare a Conservation Study and Landscape Master Plan for the above
recommended State War Memorial State Heritage Area recognising the early 1930s period
war memorials, plantings, trees, furniture, pedestrian path treatments, and plaques that
were applied in this Area, which underpin the historical, symbolic and cultural
character of the Area today, and consider options for progressive tree replacement
plantings as necessary, any renovations to the extant irrigation systems to minimize
any new system installations, and establish a policy as to future plaque and memorial
introduction into the Area;
Ensure that the Parliament House state heritage registration and the national heritage
registration include the space occupied by the buildings together with associated,
freestanding and affixed memorials, lamp standards, plaques, and walling components
as identified and assessed above inclusive of the registration scope;
That a Conservation Study be undertaken of the Frome Road Corridor including an
arboricultural review and landscape management plan including specimens of London
Plane (Platanus x acerifolius), Oriental Plane (Platanus orientalis) and English Elm (Ulmus
procera) to ensure their longevity and succession planning;
Consider the removal of the extant deteriorating English Elm (Ulmus procera)
specimens in front of the Royal Adelaide Hospital land as a matter of urgency
irrespective of the staging of the North Terrace Urban Design as prepared by Taylor
Cullity Lethlean (2001-05);
Clear nomenclature of ‘Prince Henry Gardens’ and the ‘North Terrace Promenade’
need to be adopted by the Corporation.
Seek to prioritise mature tree replacement and establishment along the length and bot
sides of North Terrace roadscape irrespective of the progress and implementation of
the Taylor Cullity Lethlean (2001-05) North Terrace Urban Design Concept to enable
the renovation of the roadscape;
Seek to assess and appreciate those component identified in the above table as
‘vulnerable’ by virtue of their condition, age, relationship to the Taylor Cullity
Lethlean (2001-05) North Terrace Urban Design Concept.
