Wynn Vale is an outer north-eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia and is located 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 approximately 20 km north-east of the city of Adelaide.
Wynn Vale has grown quickly through the years as a part of the Golden Grove development by Delfin. Originally, the area in and around Wynn Vale was a winery called Modbury Estate, which was owned by S. Wynn & Company.
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 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 formed to evaluate land suitable for the construction of thousands of dwellings for Adelaide's growing population. 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 suburb of Wynn Vale was named after the original land owner of the property, S. Wynn.
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.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 1991 Census, Wynn Vale had a population of 6,820 people, living in 2,330 dwellings. By 1996, at the height of the local land development, Wynn Vale's population 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. By 2006, the population had dropped again, to 8,414 people, residing in 3,152 dwellings. Data collected in the 2011 Census details the continuing trend of a falling population, with 8,001 people recorded residing in 3,179 dwellings.
