Each May, South Australians explore history through hundreds of events, including talks, workshops, tours, walks, exhibitions and special events. Each year, a variety of events are hosted by different groups in Gawler. The Gawler Committee hosted a talk for the 2016 History Festival, Murder, Mayhem and Suicide: A Mystery From our Colonial Past by Ian Purcell, in which Mr Purcell discussed the double suicide of Ernest Neville and Thomas Adamson in Gawler in No event was presented in 2017, due to the relocation for the Civic Centre project. COMMENTS/DISCUSSION The Gawler Civic Centre redevelopment is an exciting community infrastructure project that will be a catalyst for the Gawler CBD to once again be the cultural and business centre for the greater Gawler region. The Gawler Civic Centre will showcase local and regional cultural heritage with a heritage gallery and research centre, provide support to start-up and existing businesses, be a regional centre for visual and performing arts, and include a new-age library and digital hub to facilitate learning and social inclusion. At its meeting held on 14 December 2017, the Gawler Committee discussed ideas for an event for the 2018 History Festival. Page 3 of 7

The talk will discuss the history of the Town Hall and Institute, and also highlight the Cultural Heritage spaces within the new Civic Centre: the heritage gallery, the research centre and the Walk of Honour. Council staff will work with the Gawler Committee to develop and present this event in May 2018, as part of South Australia s History Festival.
