The City of Unley Profile outlines the main population demographics for the City of Unley and also considers the implications of social trends. At the ceremony fresh citizens receive their Citizenship Certificate. Once the waiting period has occurred, a list is then finalized and provided to the council with names of who is to be conferred. If the ceremony is for a group of fresh citizens you will all read your pledge together. The woodland forest was a combine of greybox, blue gum, red gum, native pines and she oak trees, with grass trees, native grasses and orchids.These plants had deep roots that held the soil together and the plant debris that fell on the earth decomposed releasing nutrients into the soil. This bush was home to the Kaurna people who moved with the seasons, relying on a deep knowledge of their land to find shelter, food and water. With native bush cleared for farming, the habitat for native animals was greatly reduced. Buildings and roads gradually replaced paddocks during this period, removing much of the remaining native bush. Species that once fed on native plants began to scavenge in our parks and backyards. Once the colonists arrived, the land was subdivided and small villages sprang up to cater to the fresh residents. Villages continued to spring up on the main roads between Adelaide, Mitch am and Glen Osmond, as orchards and vineyards were planted, dairies, and olive oil and jam making factories opened. As the new subdivisions were opened, the space between the villages closed up, especially from the 1880s on. When the Unley Communities' combined population reached 2,00, they were qualified to secede and the Corporate Town of Unley was born. By the last of the 1920s, the area was almost completely subdivided and the scattered villages had become a thriving city that combined the best of all the settlements. The concept of the City of Villages survives today in the varying characters of the suburbs and shopping precincts that join to make up the City of Unley. The procession formed from the Town Hall and headed by the Military Band, marched along in the direction of the Oval. His Excellency's acknowledgment of welcome is reported in the contemporary papers as follows: His Excellency, who was greeted with cheers, said that the program had suggested he was going to make an address in reply to the humane words of the Mayor's welcome. For Adelaide and its suburbs were going to grow into a quiet greater city and he had not any vast fear what kind of citizens the youthful colonists of the present day would make. Unley had now put its hair up and attained the stuffed rights and honors of a city. The children were again assembled in the right ranks and after singing one verse of 'The Song of Australia' were marshaled away to the shade of the trees surrounding the Oval and to other shelter provided for their care provided by the City Council. In 1855 Thomas Whistler, wishing to return to England, sold 'slips, pieces or parcels of land situate in and forming the roads and streets of Unley' to the Mitch am District Council for five pounds, an amount he believed to be 'well below the actual value of the land in question'. The Roll of dignify in the Town Hall commemorates all Unley residents who served in this and following world conflicts. Three years later, while he was mayor, he suggested the council should purchase the land to use as a park. A complete listing of our Forms and Applications.
