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.

Acknowledgement of Country

Acknowledgement of Country

The state government acknowledges Aboriginal people as the First Peoples and Nations of the lands and waters we live and work upon and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge and respect the deep spiritual connection and the relationship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to Country.

We work in partnership with the First Peoples of South Australia and support their Nations to take a leading role in caring for their Country.
