  • Who Is Sir William Goodman?
    To: South Australian Heritage Committee From: Senior Historic Architect Subject: REGISTER NOMINATION REPORT: HOLLAND STREET BRIDGE, HINDMARSH/THEBARTON (FORMER TRAMWAY BRIDGE) Date: 4th May, 1982 SUMMARY This report has been prepared because of a Ministerial request to assess the historical significance of the Holland Street Bridge following the River Torrens Flood Mitigation Report which proposed that the bridge be replaced. The Cawthorne Street Bridge, the other of the two former Tramway Bridges was built as a duplicate of the Holland Street Bridge in 1922, when the Hindmarsh tram line was duplicated. The Branch does not intend to nominate the Cawthorne Street Bridge for two reasons:- 1) The heritage significance is diminished because the bridge was built considerably later than the Holland Street Bridge and was a copy of a much earlier design. 2) The Cawthorne Street Bridge has been declared unsafe for traffic because of extensive undermining of the piers and shear cracks in the webs. Historically, the Holland Street Bridge is significant because it is one of the first reinforced concrete bridges constructed in the State and was designed by Sir William Goodman, whose responsibility to provide Adelaide with an electrified tramway system led to his knighthood. Architecturally, the Holland Street Bridge is significant as one of the earliest known reinforced concrete bridges in South Australia, and possibly the first monolithic pier and beam bridge in the State. Environmentally, the Holland Street Bridge is significant as an important local traffic link across the river, and also as a recognised local landmark. The Integrity of the Bridge is high, and not diminished by the only noticeable alterations - the addition of protective fences and Hotmix laid over rails.

The services, which currently involve use of about 760 buses that carry 47 million passengers per year in a service area of 880 square kilometres, had been operated by a Governm ent organisation. Services were contracted out prim arily on an areas basis, with ten area and four route contracts. By 1996 two contracts had been awarded to a private operator and three to the Governm ent operator following two rounds of com petitive tendering. Rem aining services were provided by the Governm ent operator through negotiated contracts. A review of the bus contracting system was undertaken in 1998, and features of the system modified, including a reduction in the num ber of contracts to six area and one route contract.

As part of the inquiry, 42 submissions were received and 11 witnesses were heard. Submissions and witnesses included key players from state and local government, industry, academics, non-government organisations and community groups, providing a cross-section of views and ideas on Public Transport in South Australia. The Committee extends its thanks for the effort made by those involved in preparing and presenting evidence to the Committee. It provided the Committee members with a better understanding of Public Transport in South Australia, and highlighted some of the key issues facing our state. The Committee thanks the research team; Professor Michael A P Taylor, Professor Derek Scrafton and Dr Nicholas Holyoak, Institute for Sustainable Systems and Technologies, University of South Australia whose work, research and collation of information ensures that the report will be of great value to individuals and organisations concerned with transport in SA. Ms Lyn Breuer, MP Presiding Member 1 December 2009 Parliament of South Australia. Environment, Resources and Development Committee - iii - Committee Summary of Findings In an ideal world public transport would be available, affordable, safe and clean - in the carbon neutral sense. Somehow the domination of the car would not have it placed in catch up mode and being ill prepared to face the challenges raised by climate change and peak oil.
