In March 2023, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water prepared a briefing for the Minister ahead of a meeting with Adelaide's Lord Mayor regarding a proposed UNESCO World Heritage nomination for Adelaide Park Lands, City Layout, and rural settlement areas of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The briefing identified a key sensitivity: tension between South Australia's support for the World Heritage nomination and the state government's parallel intention to develop a new Women's and Children's Hospital within the Adelaide Park Lands. The department noted it had not yet reviewed detailed nomination documents, including proposed boundaries and heritage values, and therefore could not assess whether the hospital development posed a threat to World Heritage listing prospects. Media had highlighted this apparent contradiction between the competing initiatives.
