It is a measure of the importance of the Trust in our community that year after year people sign up for membership and in some cases they give a financial donation as well. The Trust has 46 branches across South Australia and more than 1,000 people are registered with the Trust as volunteers. Those people work at the Trust’s houses, gardens and in our museums while others donate their time to advocating for heritage causes, chiefly striving to achieve better protection for our state’s extraordinary built and natural heritage.

Members of the Port of Adelaide branch joined a vigorous local campaign to prevent the demolition of the iconic Shed 26 in the inner harbour for a proposed housing development. In this case, the nomination for State Heritage listing was provisionally approved, but later overturned by the Minister, so the Shed too was soon demolished.

At this time it appears the protections we have relied upon for decades to preserve our heritage are under serious attack. The coming year will

The Environment, Resources and Development Committee of State Parliament conducted an inquiry into South Australia’s heritage system. The Trust made a detailed submission outlining the many benefits of protecting our built heritage and arguing for a stronger and less complex heritage protection system. We are hopeful that a new and more robust heritage protection framework will emerge from the findings of the recommendations of the Committee.

The AATA will base its operation in the remarkable former Z Ward building at Glenside in Adelaide.

for a long time assisted many building owners to fundraise for heritage conservation projects. More recently, through the South Australian Heritage Foundation, we have helped to raise more than $4m over the past five years. These funds help us and the organisations we support to apply best practice planning and skills to conservation works large and small. A year ago, we launched a new initiative which will help the Trust and other heritage building owners to undertake cost effective conservation projects and also to train the next generation of tradespeople in heritage conservation skills. The Australian Artisan Trades Academy (AATA) has been established by the Trust as a national centre for heritage skills training. Through the Academy, we are working to rebuild the skills base in many
In September, a five day on site workshop in the former Hampton village settlement in Burra was conducted in partnership with the Goyder Council. A team of 18 tradespeople and willing apprentices had the chance to save one of the last salvageable buildings in the abandoned village – an 1860s miner’s cottage- from collapse and to learn about the traditional skills and materials that were used to make it. In October, for the third year, we jointly convened a one day conference on the subject of church conservation in conjunction with a range of church and heritage organisations. The conference was attended by more than 60 participants and provided valuable insights into new and sustainable futures for places of worship.

BROADENING AND DEEPENING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH HERITAGE CONSERVATION One of the main ways we seek to build interest and support for heritage conservation is in designing and delivering engaging experiences at heritage places for people of all ages. We aim to ensure that all those who visit our places or who enjoy another experience, such as a special event, tour or performance, or who use our digital platforms, deepen their understanding of our heritage and develop a sense of its value to them. We hope that positive experiences of heritage, from an early age, will encourage future generations to care for the places, stories and artefacts we have preserved. The Trust’s museums, heritage centres, nature reserves and heritage places offer many unique experiences of South Australia’s built, natural and cultural heritage. We welcomed more than 200,000 people into our places in 2018-19 and offered them diverse guided and self-guided experiences both indoors and outdoors. In 2018-19 we continued to develop new experiences and advanced a major national initiative to promote ‘heritage tourism’ which we define as ‘travel to experience stories, places and traditions embodied in natural, built and cultural heritage’. In May we convened the inaugural Australian Heritage Tourism Conference at the Adelaide Town Hall, which was attended by 100 delegates from across the country with a number of keynote and expert presenters covering all aspects of designing, promoting and delivering unique tourism experiences in heritage places. At Ayers House, the Age of Elegance exhibition, co-curated with acclaimed costume designer Marion Boyce, featuring rare Victorian-era costumes from our own costume collection, finished in July and set a record attendance for an in-house exhibition. School group numbers visiting Ayers House continue to grow, with more than 3,000 visits in 2018-19. Our curriculum-based programs are drawing great interest and a loyal following from teachers and parents alike. Record numbers of school and family groups have visited Ayers House this year for structured school programs and a range of special family events and holiday programs. Tours of the Old Adelaide Treasury and the former Z Ward asylum continue to attract thousands of participants, as well as our regular city walking tours. The Australian Heritage and South Australian History Festivals are an opportunity to showcase our heritage places and to offer new programs and events. The Trust is the largest presenter of events in these festivals, staging 80 events across the state in 2018-19. Our annual Pioneer Women’s Trail Walk from Hahndorf to Beaumont goes from strength to strength with another record of almost 900 walkers taking part, braving unfavourable weather to follow in the footsteps of the German pioneer women. We also launched the new SA Heritage mobile app in partnership with the Penola branch in November. The app provides a self-guided mobile tour of more than 40 places in this important historic town, featuring the Petticoat Land State Heritage precinct. Other towns will be added over time in partnership with other local councils.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
In 2018-19 we continued to build our existing partnerships and to establish new ones. Our collaborations and commercial partnerships help us to do more, connect us with new people and communities and enable us to share and exchange expertise and resources. As these partnerships develop, new opportunities arise to promote the work of the Trust as well as our properties and programs. The Composer in Residence program established in 2017, saw four composers resident at Beaumont Cottage at different times during 2018-19, including two international residencies. The Prelude program which funds the residencies is supported by the Australia Council and managed by the Bundanon Trust. The composers have used their time with us for creative work and for workshops and public performances, including at Ayers House, Beaumont House and Z Ward. One of the upshots of the first residency of composer Gabriella Smart was a collaboration with the Titjikala Women’s Choir from Central Australia. In August, the choir gave a mesmerising performance in Pitjantjatjara language at Ayers House and staged a remarkable exhibition of their batik and other craft work there as part of the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival. Also in a musical vein, we continued our partnership with oboist Celia Craig, who curated the second Signature Series of chamber music concerts at Ayers House. The series makes use of the outstanding acoustics and elegant ambience of the State Dining Room to provide a memorable experience with some of the most talented local and visiting musicians. Local councils play an important role in heritage protection and management and often work closely with our local branches. In 2018-19 we worked closely with the Goyder Council to advance heritage tourism in the Burra region and to undertake the restoration of Jacka House in Hampton Village. The Burnside and Adelaide Hills Councils jointly supported the Hahndorf Pioneer Women’s Walk and Adelaide City Council sponsored the Australian Heritage Tourism Conference. We worked with five regional councils and five Aboriginal nations to develop a major heritage tourism intiative connecting Port Pirie to Broken Hill through the Silver to Sea heritage trail. The initial grant application to the Commonwealth Government Building Better Regions Fund was unsuccessful, but positive feedback on the initative and the ongoing support of project partners means we will resubmit a modified project proposal in 2020. The Australian Marmalade Awards and Festival took place for a third time in 2018 and attracted record entries and national media attention. The competition is run in conjunction with the World’s Original Marmalade Awards held in Dalemain, England, with support from Beerenberg Farm and the Country Women’s Association. The two major competition winners were from South Australia, from Coromandel Valley and the Riverland, which shows the quality of our citrus and skill in making marmalade! We greatly appreciate our ongoing sponsorship relationships with Wines by Geoff Hardy and Beerenberg Farm which provide much appreciated refreshments at many of our events. The new Australian Artisan Trades Academy has formed important partnerships with government, not for profit and charitable organisations and with commercial partners such as DuluxGroup.

MANAGING OUR ASSETS FOR SUSTAINABILITY Our assets comprise the capital, financial and human resources that underpin our efforts to achieve our purpose. Our built asset portfolio, totalling more than 80 built heritage places and nature reserves has reached more than $30m in value. Sustaining such a portfolio is a major challenge, one which the Trust has meet with ingenuity, resourcefulness and dedicated hard work over more than 60 years.
After more than twenty years of negotiation, we have secured ownership of more than 20 properties from the State Government that the Trust has managed for many decades. We have also been the beneficiary of generous gifts of significant heritage properties from the National Australia Bank and Wattle Range Council. Each property, particularly those that are State Heritage listed, require a long term conservation and maintenance plan. We have also developed a template We hold the largest property portfolio of any National Trust in for preparing conservation management plans for our nature Australia. In fact, the National Trust of South Australia manages reserves and are progressively completing those. We have more properties than all of the other National Trusts in Australia notified the State Government that we wish to relinquish combined. Our properties are both an extraordinary asset and the dedication on nine nature reserves that can no longer a great responsibility. Much of that responsibility is borne by be sustained by our branch network. This will reduce the our branch volunteers who care for those properties on a day number of nature reserves in our care to 16, retained for their to day basis, and are extremely resourceful in managing their significance and biodiversity value. maintenance.

BUILDING A ROBUST AND RESILIENT ORGANISATION The National Trust has its roots in the commitment of our founding members to defending and caring for the places, objects and traditions that have enduring cultural significance both now and into the future. We are the current custodians of those valued things and, in everything we do, aim to pass them on in a sound or better condition to future generations so that they will endure and continue to enrich people’s lives.
The Riverland branches participated in a local initiative funded with support from the Commonwealth Government’s Building Better Regions Fund to develop branch business plans for their future operations through a mentoring program.
We commenced work on an overarching volunteering strategy for the Trust, covering all aspects of the volunteering experience including roles, recruitment, training and skills development. To do that, we need our organisation to be strong, resilient and The project working group, including representatives from adaptable. First and foremost, it is the continuing commitment of Volunteering SA and a number of National Trust sites and our people – members, volunteers and supporters – who make our branches, are developing that strategy and working to produce a work possible.

VOLUNTEERS & MEMBERS The National Trust of South Australia is a membership-based community organisation, relying on the support of its members through their annual subscriptions and participation in activities as volunteers, and as also as visitors to events. Many members also advocate for the work of the organisation and for the promotion and conservation of the heritage assets of South Australia. The generosity of members and partners enables the Trust to achieve its purpose. As at 30 June 2019 the Trust had 2,200 current memberships, half of which are household memberships consisting of more than one individual. There were 325 new memberships in 2018/19. Member benefits include free entry to National Trust properties world-wide and a quarterly magazine about contemporary heritage issues both locally and state-wide. Volunteers are a vital part of our organisation. In 2018/19 more than 1,000 registered volunteers across the State generously donated 120,000 hours to maintaining and looking after National Trust collections and museums, and to the management of events and tours that promote awareness of the rich heritage of South Australia. The economic value of this contribution is estimated at more than $3.6m annually. Our volunteers bring a wide range of skills and many years of experience to their work with the Trust. We are committed to offering a high level of support to make sure that all volunteers have a rewarding experience. In partnership with Volunteering SA, we are now working to develop new ways of recruiting and supporting volunteers. We would like to acknowledge all volunteers for the work they do for the benefit of the Trust and thank them for their generosity and dedication.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
Robert Duns
Faye Lush
Robert has been a National Trust member for 45 years, and participated regularly at Regional meetings. He has had the role of Treasurer of Koppio Branch since the 1970’s and established maintenance plans and set budgets for the branch.
While assisting with the preparation of mobile displays Dorothy is always happy to speak to school and community groups about the collections. She has also represented the Branch at the local high school to present a Barmera National Trust prize at the graduation ceremony at the end of each year.
Faye has been a member of the National Trust for 43 years, serving on the Willunga branch Committee since 1986 as Vice Chair, Secretary and other honorary positions. Faye has been the main provider of background research for exhibitions and displays in the Bassett Boys’ Schoolroom and the Old Courthouse Museum. She also acts as branch historian, helping
Robert’s name has become widely known in connection to the Koppio museum, as he has been dedicated to helping and improving the museum during his time with
15 the branch. To assist the branch he provided a truck and freighted numerous exhibits to the museum grounds including an Allis Chalmers bulldozer. He also provided transport to truck exhibits to local agricultural shows including Yallunda Flat and Cummins. Robert’s honesty and reliability, coupled with his excellent work ethic, have made him indispensable to the Koppio Branch of the NTSA, and he well deserves this Distinguished Service Award.
heritage buildings. He has, for example, renovated 19th century cottages in Auburn and The Rosella shop at Alberton. Malcolm has always been a gracious and welcoming volunteer at Beaumont House, starting with an interest in the garden encouraged by his late wife Jane. While Malcom weeded, Jane planted, often from plants she propagated. Malcolm has worked for about 26 years to support Beaumont House, a property
bequeathed to the National Trust in 1970 by Mrs Lillian Bennett Brock. Malcolm’s most important contribution was picking up the reins of leadership in 1992 when John Ringwood stepped down as Chairman. He was also a proponent of the movement to bring the SA Trust headquarters from Leigh St Adelaide to Beaumont House. He is a most worthy recipient of this Distinguished Service Award.
Pat Carr Pat became involved with the National Trust about 20 years ago, when nothing in the Tumby Museum had been catalogued. Pat set about organising parties of members to clean and set up the Museum as it is today. Now over 6000 photos in the Museum have an information sheet with a number, the year and location marked and people named. Pat spends 3 days a week at the Museum often for 8 hours at a time. Pat’s knowledge of local family history helps many who visit the Museum track down family members from the district. Tumby Bay branch of the National Trust has a lot to thank Pat for and would like to acknowledge their appreciation with this certificate. Jean Brock Jean has been a stalwart of Tumby Bay Branch for nearly 40 years, including serving as Branch Treasurer. She has only resigned from this position this year due to ill health. We would like to thank her for her contribution to the Trust and Tumby Bay branch. Malcolm Thompson After 14 years as Chairman of the Burnside Branch of the National Trust, Malcom Thompson stepped down in October this year. Malcom had held the position of Chair since the Burnside Branch was formed in 2004. Prior to that he was Chair of the Beaumont House Committee from about 1992, a committee comprising, among others, Mrs Elizabeth Simpson, Lady Mary Downer and Mrs Cynthia (Bunty) Bonython. Malcolm first joined the National Trust in 1980, having a keen interest in renovating

AUDIT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NATIONAL TRUST OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA Opinion We have audited the financial report of National Trust of South Australia (“the entity”) which comprises the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019, the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the statement by Members of the Council. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of National Trust of South Australia is in accordance with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 and the National Trust of South Australia Act 1955; including: (i) (ii)
giving a true and fair view of the entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulations 2013.
Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the entity in accordance with the independence requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information The Council Members are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises of the information in the Council’s report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NATIONAL TRUST OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA (Cont) Council Members’ Responsibility for the Financial Report The Council members of National Trust of South Australia are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 and the National Trust of South Australia Act 1955. This responsibility includes such internal control as the Council members determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view so that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Council members are responsible for assessing the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Council members either intend to liquidate the entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: ▪ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. ▪ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. ▪ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Council members. ▪ Conclude on the appropriateness of the Council members’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NATIONAL TRUST OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA (CONT) Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report (Cont) ▪ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the Council members regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

At 30 June 2019 the total assets of the Trust stood at more than $36 million, an increase from $33m in 2018-19 and up from $10.5m five years ago. Our assets are principally held as property. We have, over the past five years, also developed a separate investment fund for the future financial security of the Trust. The Audit Finance and Governance Committee oversees the management of that fund, which in the coming year is expected to reach the goal of $5 million set for the fund four years ago. Our strong balance sheet provides future security for the ongoing operations of the Trust in an environment of limited government financial support and significant competition for philanthropic giving and corporate sponsorship. Our growing property portfolio provides many new opportunities to generate new income streams and to increase public engagement and participation in heritage conservation and reuse.
