This disclosure concerns a March 2023 meeting between the federal Environment Minister and Adelaide's Lord Mayor regarding a UNESCO World Heritage nomination for Adelaide Park Lands, City Layout, and Mount Lofty Ranges rural settlement areas. South Australia's Deputy Premier had committed in January 2023 to pursue the World Heritage listing with Adelaide City Council. The meeting addressed the Lord Mayor's support for the nomination while also raising concerns about a proposed new Women's and Children's Hospital planned within Adelaide Park Lands and its potential impact on the site's National Heritage values and World Heritage prospects. The Department noted it had not yet reviewed nomination details, boundaries, or heritage values and therefore could not assess whether the hospital development posed a "threat" to the nomination. Media had highlighted the apparent contradiction between the state government's World Heritage ambitions and its development intentions for the park lands.
