Wynn Vale is an outer north-eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia and is within the City of Tea Tree Gully local government area. It is adjacent to Golden Grove, Modbury Heights, Surrey Downs, Salisbury East and Para Hills. It is located 20km from Adelaide, and in the 2001 census the suburb had a population of 8,611.

Wynn Vale has grown quickly through the years as a part of the Golden Grove development made by Delfin. Originally, the area in and around Wynn Vale was a winery called the Modbury Estate, which was owned by S. Wynn & Company.

History

Wynn Vale and Golden Grove were founded by Captain Adam Robertson, and were originally known together as Modbury Estate, a winery owned by S. Wynn & Company. The vineyards mainly were planted with white grapes, which were used for making sherries and quality dry white wines. In 1972, the South Australian government created the South Australian Land Commission, which was to be used to find land for future buildings. On 17 October, 1974, the South Australian Land Commission bought 390 hectares of land in the region.

On 20 December, 1984, over 10 years later, Delfin and the South Australian Urban Land Trust were named as joint developers. Construction work began in May 1985. The area of Wynn Vale was named after S. Wynn & Company.

By the ABS 1991 census, Wynn Vale had a population of 6,820 people, living in 2,330 dwellings. In 1996, Wynn Vale had expanded to 8,783 people living in 2,953 dwellings. In 2001, the ABS reported a drop in the population to 8,611 people, living in 3,039 dwellings.

Geography

The boundary of Wynn Vale is defined by The Grove Way, Surrey Farm Drive and Helicon Drive (wrapping around the three-school campus and shopping centre) to the north, The Golden Way and Grenfell Road in the South and Golden Grove Road in the east.

Facilities

Wynn Vale is home to many local facilities. There is a local dam, called Wynn Vale Dam, which offers several riding and walking trails, as does the Spring Hill area. There is also a community centre, which was recently set alight. Several local schools exist in the area, including Golden Grove Lutheran Primary School, Wynn Vale School, Keithcot Primary School and King's Baptist Grammar School. The Sunnybrook shopping area is located within Wynn Vale.

Right on Wynn Vale's northern border, in Golden Grove, are Gleeson College, Pedare Christian College and Golden Grove High School, linked together in a complex that also includes the Golden Grove Recreation Centre. The Golden Grove Village Shopping Centre is also adjacent to Wynn Vale.

The 288ha Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is accessible from nearby Gulfview Heights.

Transport

The M44 & 545 bus routes service Wynn Vale, as well as a bus interchange at the Golden Grove Village, which is operated by Adelaide Metro. Proposals exist to extend the Adelaide O-Bahn to Golden Grove, but the route it might take from the Modbury Interchange is unknown.
