    Why cadastral reform?
    Williamson, Ian P. ( 1990)
    Why has it been necessary to have a conference on cadastral reform? In fact what is cadastral reform in the Australasian context? The paper addresses these issues from an historical perspective and looks at present issues and pressures on Australasian cadastral systems. Present cadastral reforms are reviewed and some issues which need to be addressed in the future are highlighted. In particular the paper emphasises that an holistic approach is necessary in reforming cadastral systems while recognising that cadastral systems are fast becoming information systems as we move into the era of an information society. The paper recognises that our present cadastral systems had their genesis in the 19th Century and that many of our practices, laws and regulations and institutional arrangements are not applicable to today's society. Present day changes to our cadastral systems however must recognise that it is only during the last decade that cadastral principles have been accepted within our land administration systems.

    Cadastral reform: an Australian vision for the 1990s
    Williamson, Ian P. (Dienst van het Kadaster en de Openbare Registers, 1991)
    Ten years ago cadastral reform was not an issue in Australia. In fact, the term 'cadastre' was not even thought applicable in Common Law jurisdictions; today this view has changed. What is 'cadastral reform' and why has it become a key issue in Australasia over the last few years, are key elements of this paper.This chapter recognises that present Australian cadastral systems had their genesis in the 19th Century and, as a consequence, many of our practices, laws and regulations and institutional arrangements are not applicable in today's society. In reforming our cadastral systems, the paper looks at the major pressures which are instigating change. In particular, the chapter emphasises that an holistic approach is necessary in reforming cadastral systems while recognising that cadastral systems are fast becoming spatial information systems, in parallel with the community as it moves into the era of an information society.As an example of the growing interest in cadastral reform, the recent conference 'Cadastral Reform 1990', the first of its type in Australia, is reviewed.
