The City of Burnside is committed to preserving the city’s rich history and heritage. The area has a range of significant sites you can visit where you can delve into the historical highlights that have shaped Burnside.

Established in 1856, City of Burnside has a wealth of historic and heritage buildings, sites and streetscapes. Along with our natural heritage – the remnant trees and vegetation that still exists in the hills face zone, parks and reserves and in some private property – the built heritage gives our suburbs a unique sense of history, with excellent examples of building styles from various period over the last 150+ years. Much of the heritage is protected by state and local legislation, to ensure it remains for future generations to enjoy.
