Land informations systems in Australia : a status report

Forster, B. & Bullock, K.

For over a century, the Torrens Title System in Australia has provided an up-to-date, state guaranteed register of ownership rights for the majority of land parcels in each state. This system is based on an accurate survey of each parcel. Proposals for land information system (LIS) development in the six mainland states of Australia are unanimous in their support of an automated parcel file based on the Torrens register forming the nucleus of a LIS, incorporating other land-related sub-systems.
