 The 1834 Act set out the conditions for the establishment of the Province of South Australia, and granted authority for this to be done by the action of the King at a later date.By the means provided for in this Act, South Australia would become the only colony whose establishment was authorised by an Act of Parliament, and also incorporated unique features such as the requirement that it would be settled and developed at no cost to the United Kingdom.In February 1836 King William IV signed the Letters Patent, signalling the final action needed to establish the Province under this Act.
