A legacy worth protecting
The Tea Tree Gully Township is located in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide and is one of the main gateways to the Adelaide Hills. Once a swampy gully densely covered by native tea trees, the traditional custodians of the Tea Tree Gully district are the Kaurna people. In the early years of European settlement, the area was popular with squatters on route between Adelaide and the Hills. Permanent settlement occurred in 1839.
Today, the Township is a predominantly residential area with a mix of commercial, retail and community land uses. The historic character of this area is largely intact and comprises significant historic buildings, identified state and local heritage places and commemorative landmarks. Landscaped parks and gardens are strong visual features amid the backdrop of Anstey Hill Recreation Park. Any works need to take into consideration the Tea Tree Gully Township Precinct Plan and the relevant Heritage 10 Point Plans.
Works will require specialist heritage advice during the concept/ development phase and most likely approval under the Heritage Places Act and/or the Planning Development & Infrastructure Act to ensure the works do not negatively affect the sites heritage value and local heritage listing.
