In the Australian Colonies Rectangular Land Survey and Town Planning in the Australian Colonies Akihiro Kindax This paper examines how the systematic grid patterns were laid out, and why the systematic rectangular land survey was abandoned in the Australian colonies, with special reference to the perceptual ideas of the decision makers. The necessity of the rectangular land survey was occasioned by the rapid increase of settlers, and also for dealing with land sales, under the influence of the American township system and the scheme of systematic colonization. Square-mile sections and six-square-mile townships were laid out from 1822 to IBZ5, and the same size sections, five-square-mile parishes, l00-square-mile hundreds, 4o-square-mile counties were directed to be laid out in all of the Australian colonies from 1825 to the 1850's, excepting South Australia during 1836-1842. However, the process and the result of land survey in each colony differed because of the range of physical and social conditions, the characters of the Governors and Surveyors- General, and some combination of those factors. Town planning was also charact erized by the grid street patterns and sometimes by rectangular shapes or surrounding parklands. The most important factors were Darling's Regulation in New South Wales, Roe's long administration of the survey department in Western Australia and Light's town planning of Adelaide in South Australia. The local variations of the town planning paralleled those of the recta- ngular land survey. of land survey. I .

Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2007 ISBN: 1 921238 34 8 Cover photography: Messmate Stringybark open woodland (Courtesy of Carly Lovering, DEH) This document may be cited as ‘Department for Environment and Heritage (2007) Porter Scrub Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia’ FOREWORD Porter Scrub Conservation Park is located at Kenton Valley in the Central Mount Lofty Ranges, approximately 30 kilometres north-east of Adelaide. After purchase from the estate of the late J. J. Porter, the park was proclaimed on 20 October 2005 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to protect a significant area of remnant forest and woodland habitat. Conserved within the 104 hectare park are areas of Candlebark Gum open forest, which is considered endangered in South Australia, and Pink Gum low woodland and River Red Gum woodland, both of which are considered vulnerable at a state level. The park also provides likely habitat for up to 23 species of conservation significance, including the nationally endangered Southern Brown Bandicoot, the nationally vulnerable Clover Glycine and the state endangered Spotted Quail-thrush. The land comprising Porter Scrub Conservation Park is traditionally associated with the Peramangk people of the Mount Barker Area. Following colonial settlement, the park was used for grazing and timber extraction, while talc mining was a large operation until around 1970.
