Historic Plaques & Signs Program

The Historic and Signs Program has been in operation since 1995 and is an important cultural heritage strategy in branding the image, character and promotion of the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters as an area of historical significance.

Cultural Walk Plaques

It was idenfied that the City's historic and commercial environment featured many sites which could be utilised to celebrate the City's distinctive social history and culture. As a result of this, the Cultural Walk was created, along what was argulably one of South Australia's most historic streetscapes - The Parade, Norwood. The key objective is to create a cultural heritage feature that would brand The Parade as unique in South Australia.

A series of brass footpath plaques recognise Norwood as part of Kaurna aboriginal lands and honour individuals such as SA's reforming premier Don Dunstan, author and illustrator May Gibbs and the founder of the Josephite Order, Saint Mary MacKillop.
