Details (Known As) |
Stud Sheep Pavilion, Adelaide Showground |
Registered Name |
Stud Sheep Pavilion, Adelaide Showground |
Significance |
The Stud Sheep Pavilion is associated with the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia (Society) and illustrates their ambition to support farmers and improve the quality of agricultural and horticultural production in South Australia by 'staging events' and 'rewarding excellence'. The Stud Sheep Pavilion, completed in 1917, was the second building constructed by the Society at Wayville after their relocation from the Jubilee Exhibition site on North Terrace.
The Society specifically built the Stud Sheep Pavilion as an exhibition venue for the display and judging of prime livestock - sheep - during the Adelaide Show, with the aim of improving the quality of both meat and wool for local consumption and export markets. The pavilion provides an exceptional opportunity for people living in the city to interact with sheep graziers and view animals and fleeces, and develop an understanding of the vital role that the wool and meat industry plays in South Australia. The building has faithfully fulfilled that function since 1925, apart from during World War Two when the building was requisitioned for war use.
The Stud Sheep Pavilion is an exceptional example of a Showground pavilion. Its built fabric, including external facades, internal framing and the pens and races that were reinstalled in the building during the late-1940s and 1950s, retain a high level of integrity that enables the purpose of the building to be readily and easily understood. |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
