Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout, South Australia
The Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout is widely regarded as a masterwork of urban design and signifies a turning point in the settlement of Australia. It was the first place in Australia to be planned and developed, not as a penal settlement or military outpost, but as a place for free settlers.
The area received Australia's highest heritage honour when it was included in the National Heritage List on 7 November 2008.
