New Port is a north-western suburb of Adelaide.It was created in 2007 from parts of the suburbs of Birkenhead, Ethelton, Glanville and Semaphore Park. The name "Newport Quays" had been requested but this was not supported by the relevant government authority. Because there is limited access to the suburb due to it being located between the Port River and the Outer Harbor railway line, the relevant Minister of the Crown considered the views of emergency service organisations before creating the new suburb. On 6 August 2009, its eastern boundary was extended in part to the centre-line of the Port River.The historic Fletcher's Slip Precinct at 230-246 Semaphore Road is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that New Port had 677 people living within its boundaries.New Port is located in the federal division of Hindmarsh, the state electoral district of Port Adelaide and the local government area of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield.

The Jervois Bridge is a bridge in Greater Adelaide, Australia that crosses the Port River. Construction of the original 98 m (322 ft) Jervois Bridge from Port Adelaide to Ethelton commenced in July 1875, using components manufactured in England by Westwood, Baillie. It was the first swing bridge in Australia, with mechanical equipment provided by William Armstrong & Co of Newcastle upon Tyne.Built to carry pedestrian, rail and road traffic, it was officially opened on 7 February 1878 by the Governor of South Australia, William Jervois, after whom it was named.By 1924, it had ceased to be used by rail traffic, after the line had been diverted. Operation of the swing bridge passed from the South Australian Railways to the Harbours Board in December 1924. In 1937, the control tower and its support gantry were elevated to allow use by double-decker AEC 661T trolleybuses.The original bridge closed in August 1966 to make way for a new bridge. It was later demolished with the control tower and supporting gantry moved to Nile Street, where it remained as an entrance to the Fishermen's Wharf Market car park until 2016, when the carpark was partially redeveloped for a new office building. The control tower and supporting gantry were removed to the Council depot for restoration, with the intention of finally moving it to the Hart's Mill site, close to its original location. The remnants of the original bridge received a Historic Engineering Marker from Engineers Australia as part of its Engineering Heritage Recognition Program.The new four-lane bridge was constructed on an alignment a short distance upstream, opening on 28 July 1969.Upstream (south) of the Jervois Bridge lies the Jervois Basin Ships' Graveyard, and beyond that the railway bridge carrying the Outer Harbor railway line.

The Semaphore Library is a heritage-listed library and former town hall and cinema at 14 Semaphore Road, Semaphore, South Australia. It was formerly the Semaphore Institute, Semaphore Town Hall, Ozone Theatre and Semaphore Cinema. It was listed on the South Australian Heritage Register on 1 September 1983, and was also listed on the Register of the National Estate.It was built as the Semaphore Institute, an early mechanics institute, and opened on 15 March 1884. It was designed by architects Wright and Reed, and built by Williams & Cleave. It was a stone building with an iron roof, with a main hall and stage, entrance room, library and reading room on the ground floor, and offices for the local municipality, the Corporate Town of Semaphore, and a gallery on the second floor. In 1889, it was sold to the municipality to be used as the Semaphore Town Hall. The municipality merged with the adjacent Corporate Town of Port Adelaide in 1900, but it continued to be rented out for community events by the Port Adelaide council. From 1910, the hall was used as a temporary cinema by a number of organisers, while continuing to be used for other community functions. In 1929, Ozone Amusements leased the hall from the Corporate Town of Port Adelaide and converted the hall into a permanent cinema to a design by Chris A. Smith, adopting a range of Art Deco features. Smith was a prominent architect of the period, designing many theatres and cinemas, and a number of public buildings including a refurbishment of the Brighton Town Hall. The company later became Ozone Theatres, and would become one of the two major movie chains in South Australia. In 1951, Hoyts bought out the Ozone company, and in 1952 undertook a complete refurbishment of the Semaphore cinema, reopening on 20 November. However, box office takings suffered from the introduction of television, and Hoyts closed the cinema on 21 May 1960.The ground floor was used by the Semaphore Youth Club from 1966 to 1978, and in 1977 a smaller cinema, the Semaphore Cinema, was opened in what had been the upstairs dress circle by Alan and Fran Hall, operating until its closure in 1985. The building was vacant from 1985 to 1993, when the City of Port Adelaide restored the building as the Semaphore Library, which it has operated as ever since. The building remains substantially intact from its previous uses, and its state heritage listing notes that "enough interior elements of both periods [as a cinema] remain for it to be quite a significant representative of suburban cinemas in their heyday."
