In 1894, South Australia was the first electorate in Australia to give equal political rights to both women and men, a huge step toward gender equality.

In commemoration of the 125th anniversary of Women's Suffrage in South Australia, this exhibition throws light on the people of Unley who signed the petition in support of the Adult Suffrage Bill, who were they, and why the bill may have been important to them.

Free entry.

Exhibition opening times:
Monday to Wednesday 10am–4pm
Thursday 10am–6pm
Sunday 2–5pm
Closed Public Holidays

Our Event Planning Toolkit has been designed to assist event organisers in planning successful events and festivals within the City of Unley.
 
In this Toolkit, you will find a comprehensive A-Z Event Planning Guide, templates, checklists, examples and supporting material to assist you every step of the way and ensure that your event runs smoothly and safely.

Complete an Event Permit Application to apply to conduct an event in a park, open space or street within the City of Unley. Applications are not required for events held in parks that have an expected attendance of less than 100 people. However, events held on Council property or roads must complete the application process regardless of the expected attendance.

The templates and examples below have been developed to assist you with your planning and more information can also be found in the A-Z Planning Guide. Council’s Events Coordinator will be able to confirm the amount of documentation you will need to provide depending on the scale and complexity of your event.

The City of Unley’s parks and open spaces provide a wonderful setting to host your event. Many of our parks have a range of features including toilets, play equipment, sport and fitness facilities, BBQ’s, picnic tables and shelters. Some parks and open spaces are able to support medium to large-scale event activity whereas other small parks are more suited for casual, public use.
 
The table on page 6 of the Event Planning Toolkit provides details about the capacity and facilities of our parks and open spaces to help you choose the most suitable location for your event. Park maps can be downloaded below and show the layout and facilities for all of our larger parks and open spaces which can be used to assist you with your site planning.
