Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Sep 2000	Historic/Archaeological Site	Historic/Archaeological Site Where a place has cultural heritage significance as a result of its former use or because of buildings or structures that formerly existed on the site, interpretive signage such as a plaque should be erected to provide information on the history of the place. If the place is privately owned, Council should encourage the owner to provide interpretive signage and provide assistance where possible to the owner to ensure that any historical information is accurate (i.e. obtained from a reliable source). Archaeology Where development is proposed on the site of a former significant structure or building, an archaeological survey should be carried out prior to development to determine firstly the likelihood or archaeological material being found and secondly whether archaeological excavation is appropriate. The site survey should be carried out by an appropriately qualified historical archaeologist. If recommended an archaeological excavation should be carried out prior to development. Alternatively, an archaeological monitoring brief should be established to ensure that any material discovered during construction is investigated. This brief requires work to stop until an archaeologist has investigated the site in the event of material being uncovered during normal construction works.

Statement of Significance

Site of market gardens, on the northy side of Clontarf Hill in an area now known as ‘Sardelic Park’ has social and historic significance as a site for market gardens operated by the Yugoslav migrant Sardelic family until 2006.

History

Clontarf Rd was named by John Healy, the owner of the Winterfold Estate. His land comprised 300 acres north of Healy Rd, 200 acres south of Bibra Lake, and 100 acres in Spearwood. Winterfold Rd was gazetted a public highway in 1937.
The market gardens are on the north side of Clontarf Hill, in an area now known as ‘Sardelic Park’. Antun Sardelic came to WA from the former Yugoslavia in 1926, aged 25. After working on the goldfields he settled as a market gardener in Fremantle, developing 4 hectares of land on Clontarf Road. His sons Antun Jnr and Ivan also worked the farm, and continued to operate the market garden from this site until 2006. Antun Snr retired in 1956 and died in 2008.
