Update

The Proposed Road Names for Glenside Campus engagement closed on 13 January 2014, generally showing support for the proposed names.
On the 11 February 2014, Council endorsed the following proposed road names:

  • Mulberry Road
  • Harriet Lucy Drive
  • Karrayarta Drive
  • Cramond Drive
  • Eucalyptus Lane
  • Alexander Deane Street

Public Notices were published and the new street name signs have been erected.

What do the chosen road names mean?
Mulberry Road – 2000 mulberry trees were planted to raise silk worms in the nineteenth century for the enjoyment and interest of patients.
Harriet Lucy Drive – Harriet Lucy was the first Matron of Glenside Hospital from 1870-1901.
Karrayarta Drive – The Kaurna term Karrayarta was recorded for the Burnside area by CH Harris, a Department of Lands surveyor in the early twentieth century who had an interest in Indigenous place names.
Cramond Drive – Dr (Prof) William Cramond is considered an eminent person who made a contribution to the delivery of health services. He was a leader of the deinstitutionalisation of mental health services.
Eucalyptus Lane – While this name was nominated without a formal rationale, further investigation has indicated that there are Eucalyptus trees on the site that have been identified by the Arborist as making an important contribution to the character of the local area, as well as being an important contributor to the maintenance of biodiversity in the local environment.
Alexander Deane Street – Alexander Deane was the head gardener at the previous hospital and heavily involved in plantings for the property.
