Clovelly Park Document Translation Services

Clovelly Park is an inner southern suburb of Adelaide in the local government area of the City of Marion. Before becoming an 'advanced'[citation needed] suburb, it was a farm and vineyard. The suburb is bordered by Daws Road to the north, South Road to the east, Sturt Road to the south, and a combination of Percy Avenue and the Tonsley railway line to the west. It is situated approximately 20 minutes from the Adelaide city centre, and about 2 minutes from Flinders University, Flinders Medical Centre and Westfield Marion.

Clovelly Park is named after the village in Devon, England of the same name. The landscape of Clovelly Park at the time it was named was similar to that of Clovelly, Devon.The original inhabitants of the area, the Kaurna, lived mainly along the Sturt River which passes several hundred metres to the south of the suburb's southern boundary. Richard Hamilton, whose family became major wine producers in the state, planted the first vineyard in the area in 1838, just two years after the colony of South Australia was founded. Settlers followed, planting vineyards, market gardens and almond orchards around the banks of the Sturt River and the creeks further to the north in what later became Clovelly Park.There are a number of retail stores lining South Road, including a local Cash Converters, a garden center and a snack bar, but there are no significant shopping centers situated within Clovelly Park. The nearest is Park Holme Shopping Centre, which is within walking distance of the residential portion of the suburb. In addition, South Road provides ready access to the CBD and to Castle Plaza in Edwardstown,[21] while Westfield Marion in Oaklands Park possesses over 300 stores[22] (with a forthcoming expansion increasing the number by an additional 90)[23] and is readily accessible by road and public transport.[24]Known as The Southern Clinic from 1959 to 1974, the Clovelly Park Community Health Centre provides health services for the area, with six medical doctors on staff. The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, and out-of-hours appointments can be organized for Sundays. Counseling and related services are available through the Inner Southern Community Health Service , which includes the Aboriginal Health House on the corner of Wingfield Street and Newton Avenue. More serious cases are handled at the Flinders Medical Centre, which is a short drive away and directly accessible by public transport.The suburb is part of the federal seat of Boothby held by Nicolle Flint and the state seats of Elder and Mitchell.
