Title: Sir Robert Richard Torrens (1814-1884) : Learnings from my land acquisition experience
In: Transactions of the Seventh South Australian Engineering Heritage Conference - Adelaide, 25 May 2018
Imprint: Engineers Australia, South Australia Division, Adelaide, 2018, pp. 75-80
Abstract: History records that Torrens was a highly motivated individual who applied his very forceful, and ultimately effective, style to successfully introduce a revolutionary system of titling to his adopted home in South Australia.
It is imperative to understand that I am here today not as an expert on the intricacies of the Torrens System (I leave that to our wonderful Survey and Tenure Specialists) but rather as a grateful recipient of the benefits of applying the TTS system when delivering Infrastructure Projects.
