Historic Themes of South Australia

South Australia has a rich and multifaceted history reflected in its tangible heritage, including places of First Nations cultural significance.

The South Australian Heritage Council has a role to identify places, and related objects, of State heritage significance, and to enter them in the South Australian Heritage Register.

The purpose of the Historic Themes document is to assist in the identification of gaps in the South Australian Heritage Register and to assist in prioritising places for assessment for State Heritage listing.

This is designed to be a “living document”. The South Australian Heritage Council has recognised that changes can be made to the Historic Themes in the future.
