Governance at
St Peter’s Cathedral

Parishes in the Diocese of Adelaide are governed by a document of the Synod - the overall governing body for the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Adelaide - called the Parochial Administration Ordinance. This describes the roles and responsibilities of the clergy and other officers, as well as establishing committee and reporting structures.

The Cathedral has an additional document of Synod, the Cathedral Ordinance, which takes into account the unique character of the Cathedral in the life of the Diocese and the wider community.

The Cathedral Council is responsible for the management of Cathedral property and the administration of the affairs of the Cathedral and the congregation. It is also responsible for the management of the financial affairs of the Cathedral.
