Welcome
The Friends of Palmeira and Adelaide was established in 1997 as a residents association to improve the environment and amenities of Palmeira Mansions, Palmeira Square and Adelaide Crescent.
We live in one of the South coast’s premier heritage sites comprising an architectural set-piece of Grade 2 and 2* early and mid 19th Century Listed Buildings. The elegant square and crescent sweep around two gardens within the Brunswick Town Conservation Area.
Our aim is to benefit all those who live in the area, and to support our community of local residents. We strive to create equal opportunities and good relations amongst all members of our community.
