INTRODUCTION 1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Adelaide Riverbank FesƟ val Plaza Precinct Public Realm development is the realisaƟ on by the South Australian Government of a long held ambiƟ on. The project involves improving and reinvigoraƟ ng the public amenity and open space surrounding the Adelaide FesƟ val Centre, StaƟ on Road and FesƟ val Drive. The project comprises approximately 26,000 m2 of public open space with an approved capital budget of $126 M. It is a driver for signifi cant private investment. The Public Realm development will deliver: • A new square adjacent to the Adelaide FesƟ val Centre on grade with North Terrace, StaƟ on Road, the AFC and the southern interface with King William Road. • A pedestrianised StaƟ on Road and improved axial connecƟ on to Dunstan Plaza and Elder Park • Grade separaƟ on of FesƟ val Drive from the Torrens River Footbridge/Train staƟ on pedestrian link • Reinstatement of the FesƟ val Centre ceremonial axis • Reinforcement of the King William Road axis and improved links from the CBD to Elder Park. • RejuvenaƟ on of the Adelaide FesƟ val Centre promenade including widening and on-grade pedestrian connecƟ on to new entries to the FesƟ val Centre, the Dunstan Theatre and the Space Theatre • Refurbishment of the exisƟ ng AFC kiosk, toilets, and Elder Park interface The Public Realm facilitates: • The extension of Sky City Casino • A 1500-space underground car park • The Walker Retail development to the southern face of the Square • The Walker Commercial Tower development on StaƟ on Road • The Adelaide FesƟ val Centre refurbishment. The Adelaide Riverbank FesƟ val Plaza Precinct Public Realm is a dynamic, sƟ mulaƟ ng, and innovaƟ ve public open space. It makes the most of the South Australian climate with comfortable spaces that have trees, arbours, water features and grass. It represents a careful response to its context and an astute reinterpretaƟ on of the sites history. It is highly integrated with the networks of the greater city and when complete, the Adelaide Riverbank FesƟ val Plaza Precinct Public Realm will be signifi cant place for current and future generaƟ ons.

The Fes val Centre was completed in 1973 and was listed as a State Heritage Place for its cultural associa ons with the community and the establishment of the Adelaide Fes val of the Arts. Various altera ons and addi ons since its incep on have been detrimental to the integrity of the original design and have contributed to undermining the use of the plaza as a public space. Flightpath Architects have been engaged as a heritage consultant to the Public Realm design team and have prepared a report detailing how the proposed design responds to the signifi cance of the State Heritage Place. The AFC is highly integrated with the public realm. The Public Realm Concept Design deals with all external public open space elements of the AFC. It is the intent of the Public Realm Concept design to: • Reinstate its ceremonial axis • Reconnect the centre to the Square • Enhance the Centres connec on to Elder park and the River • Revitalise the northern promenade In addi on to the public realm AFC works there is an AFC refurbishment package of work which deals with its building facades and interiors. Hassell Architects have been engaged directly for this work package and it is part of a separate Concept Design Report. The public realm design has developed alongside the AFC works with Hassell contribu ng to the public realm as a specialist design consultant.

It currently serves as a subsidiary building to Parliament with func on capabili es. The buildings frontage to North Terrace is currently rela vely inac ve and the frontage to Sta on Road with a steel fence and level change is inac ve. The public realm creates an immediate environment that respects its scale and detail and allows the building to be a more ac ve contributor to the precinct. PARLIAMENT HOUSE Parliament House is located on the corner of North Terrace and King William Road and is a Greek revival building constructed in two phases from 1874 through to 1939.

    The Creation of the Torrens: A History of Adelaide's River to 1881 by Sharyn Clarke This is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in History School of Social Sciences University of Adelaide CONTENTS List of Paintings and Maps Introduction 1 Chapter One: Conceiving the Torrens t4 Chapter Two: Black and White 4t Chapter Three: The Destruction of the Torrens 76 Chapter Four: Meeting the Demand for Progress 105 Chapter Five: The Torrens Lake 130 Conclusion 157 Bilbiography ABSTRACT The River Torrens in Adelaide is a fragile watercourse with variable seasonal flows which was transformed in the nineteenth century into an artificial lake on a European scale. This thesis presents the reasons behind the changes which took place. The creation of the Torrens covers both physical changes and altering conceptions of the river from a society which, on the whole, desired a European river and acted as though the Torrens was one. The period of study ranges from the Kaurna people's life, which adapted around the river they called Karrawirraparri, to the damming of the river in 1881, Being the major river forthe city, the relatively higher population density meant huge environmental pressure, an inability to assess its limits lead to it being heavily polluted and degraded only a decade after white settlement. Distinct stages in the use of the river can be observed and a variety of both positive and negative responses towards it were recorded. By studying the interactions with, and attitudes towards, the River Torrens, and the changes it has undergone, we learn much about the societies that inhabited the river and their values towards a specific and crucial part of the natural environment.

    FINAL Adelaide Park Lands Heritage Assessment 190122

    Heritage Assessment – Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares Issue Date: 17-May-2018 HERITAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT NAME: Adelaide Park Lands, Squares and PLACE: 13717 City Layout ADDRESS: Park Lands, Adelaide, South Australia APPROACH DASH Architects was engaged by the State Heritage Unit of the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) to undertake a Heritage Assessment of the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’ for the consideration of the South Australian Heritage Council. Two nominations were received for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares in 2009: • ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’; and • ‘Adelaide Park Lands, City Squares and Gardens’. This Heritage Assessment (report) has considered to the two State heritage nominations, as well as the 2008 National Heritage Listing for the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout’. There are many individual places that have already been identified as being of State Heritage significance in their own right within the study area of this report. The scope of this assessment is not to review these, encompass them in a single listing or identify potential additional places. Rather, the scope of this assessment is to consider the nominations ‘as a whole of place’, rather than a collection of elements. DRAFT The Authors of this report have determined that it is not possible to consider the potential heritage significance of the Adelaide Park Lands and Squares without considering their historical and physical context within both Edward Wakefield’s theories for the colonial settlement of the State of South Australia, and Colonel William Light’s subsequent plan for its capital. For this reason, this Heritage Assessment has been extended beyond the nominations to consider the potential heritage significance of the City Layout, as represented in Light’s 1837 plan.
  • COMMENTARY Hello Everyone

    COMMENTARY Hello Everyone

    COMMENTARY Hello everyone. Welcome to The Popeye. We will be departing here from Elder Park, travelling down to the Torrens Weir where we will turn around and travel back up towards to Adelaide Zoo and then back to Elder Park. The trip should take approximately 45 minutes. We are now travelling along the Torrens river or Karrawirra Parri. The Popeye Launches acknowledges that the land and the river on which its site is located is the Traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the greater Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today. At its 1836 discovery an inland bend was chosen as the site of the Adelaide city centre and North Adelaide. The river is named after Colonel Robert Torrens, chairman of the colonial commissioners and a significant figure in the city's founding. We are now passing the Adelaide Festival Centre which is undergoing a $90 million upgrade and celebrated it’s 40th anniversary in 2014. Built in 1973 under the Dunstan government, 3 months before the Sydney Opera House, it is Australia’s first capital city arts venue and hosts more than one million people annually. It is home to world class arts companies and festivals such as the Adelaide Festival, the Adelaide Fringe and the famous Adelaide Cabaret festival. To our left we are now passing the Adelaide Convention Centre, the 1st purpose built in Australia and opened in June 1987.
