Significance The Former Hindmarsh Town Hall Complex (facades) is an outstanding example of Art Deco architecture in South Australia. Designed by South Australian architect Chris A. Smith in 1936 to visually unify an existing civic building with a substantial extension, the Former Hindmarsh Town Hall Complex (facades) articulates many key attributes of the style, including vertical emphasis; dominant symmetrical features; rendered Portland cement facades; decoration suggesting, but stylised away from, historical precedents; a skyline featuring receding steps; emphatic vertical fin-like elements; and parallel line, zig-zag and fern motifs.

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 Council areas, 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 Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

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.
