About Us
The St. Peters Residents Association was formed in the 1970s when the former St. Peters Council proposed allowing demolition of the area’s historic houses and to encourage the erection of higher density two-storey walk up flats, This was a time when Don Dunstan wanted to build 10-storey flats at Hackney. Fortunately the residents of Hackney rose in revolt and the government retreated. The St Peter’s Council then zoned a large part of the Town as Residential 1 so protecting the old homes. This was later further protected by the declaration of Historic Conservation Zones.
