User:Cowdy001, by your edit removing a question about Adelaide Fire Station, does that mean you confirm that "date 'confirmed' in South Australian database items is the date when a place was added to the register"? --Doncram (talk) 13:05, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doncram, Yes, that is correct for practical purposes (i.e. the relevant Act of Parliament does have provision for a 'provisional' status). Listings are usually announced in the South Australian Government Gazette (SAGG) as evident in the following for the listing of the Belair National Park as a State Heritage Area - please refer [1] and [2]. By the way, I could not find announcement in the SAGG for the Adelaide Fire Station. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 19:55, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
