Criteria for Inclusion of State Heritage Places in the South Australian
Heritage Register
To protect our built heritage South Australian heritage legislation
provides for a South Australian Heritage Register in which places
of heritage significance are documented.
The Register lists places of State significance ('State Heritage
Places') that meet one or more of the criteria specified in section
16 of the Heritage
Places Act 1993 and records places of other levels of significance
(eg local, national, world) which are protected under other legislation.
The criteria act as guidelines to help the South Australian Heritage
Council in its decision-making regarding inclusion of State Heritage
Places in the South Australian Heritage Register. To be entered
in the Register a place must be judged to meet at least one of the
following criteria:
Criterion (a)
It demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of
the State's history.

significance.

of cultural significance.

accomplishment or is an outstanding representative of particular
