However, there have been some land administration counties which did have county councils: Cumberland (1945–63), Northumberland (1948–63) and Rous (1940-pres., with trading name of Rous Water There were only five counties in the Northern Territory, which were divided into hundreds. Darwin is located in the Hundred of Bagot in the Palmerston County : usually only
150-581: A larger population than all the other counties in South Australia combined. Another reason is that many of the counties' borders follow rivers, having been proclaimed before settlements developed, which means that towns which typically grow up on rivers often find themselves in more than one county. Wangaratta , for instance, is located at the junction of the Ovens and King rivers, and is thus in three counties; Moira , Delatite and Bogong . Some of
200-573: A partner in Charles Sturt University School of Theology. The Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture is located next to St Mark's.

The county with the largest population is the County of Bourke , which contains Melbourne . Legal documents can describe the county, parish, township (if there is one), section, crown allotment number, and certified plan number. For example: " County of Dalhousie , Parish of Lauriston, being 2 hectares, being Crown Allotment 2, Section 40" or "Parish of Ballarat, County of Grant .. Crown Allotment 29, Section 101, Township of Ballarat East.. as shown on Certified Plan No. 105127" At

The Inner South includes the inner south subdivisions (suburbs) of Barton , Capital Hill , Deakin , Forrest , Fyshwick , Griffith , Kingston , Narrabundah , Parkes , Red Hill (except for the Federal Golf Course which is in Woden Valley district), and Yarralumla . At
400-458: Is described with the Section number, hundred and county, for example "Section 53, Hundred of Borda , County of Carnarvon ", or the allotment number within government towns. Sometimes a combination is used, such as "allotment 1 (DP 25326), Hundred of Munno Para ". Often only the hundred name is used, not the county, as each hundred has a unique name making the county name redundant. Tasmania
450-409: Is divided into 20 land districts, subdivided into 480 parishes. These include the former 18 counties, which were renamed land districts and retained the same borders. In addition Flinders Island and King Island are now also districts. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century Tasmania had 18 counties. The original counties were divided into hundreds (containing four parishes) but this distinction

Canberra Central is bounded on the north by the Gungahlin district, the east by the Majura district, the south-east by the Jerrabombera district (as distinct from the suburb of Jerrabomberra that lies within the Queanbeyan local government area within New South Wales ), the south by the district of the Woden Valley , the south-west by the Weston Creek district, and
550-597: Is often known as two separate parts, being the Inner North and Inner South . While some of the other districts in the Australian Capital Territory and within the city of Canberra are well known ( e.g. Belconnen , Gungahlin , Tuggeranong , Weston Creek , Woden Valley ) Canberra Central would less often be thought of as a district outside of its administrative use: more often as the Inner North and Inner South.

650-706: The County of Yancowinna . Similar award examples exist in the other states and territories that have been subdivided into counties. The County of Yancowinna is also the only part of New South Wales which is in a different time zone to the rest of the state, as mentioned in the Australian Standard Time Act of 1987. Counties are also used on paperwork for mortgage securities in banks. Parishes and counties are also mentioned in definitions of electoral districts. Counties have since gone out of use in Australia, and are rarely used or even known by most of
700-707: The County of Yungnulgra in New South Wales, and County of Croajingolong in Victoria. The use of counties, hundreds and parishes was popular in Australia in the 19th century, with many maps of Australian colonies showing these divisions, and towns and cities often listed in their county. Legal cases referenced counties, and many genealogical records for Australia in the 19th century list the county and parish for location of birth, deaths and marriages. The 1911 Britannica also describes Australian towns and cities as being in their respective county, including most of
750-478: The National Library of Australia is located in Section 27, Blocks 4, 5 and 8, Division of Parkes, District of Canberra Central. There are 141 counties and 7,459 parishes within New South Wales. The County of Cumberland , in which Sydney is located, has the largest population. The original Nineteen Counties were the limits of settlement in the early part of the 19th century. Legal documents describe
800-475: The cadastral divisions of Australia for the purposes of identification of land to ensure security of land ownership. Most states term these divisions as counties , parishes , hundreds , and other terms. The eastern states of Queensland , New South Wales , Victoria , and Tasmania were divided into counties and parishes in the 19th century, although the Tasmanian counties were renamed land districts in
850-505: The 19th century there were 109 counties, which were later divided into 319 in 1901. The counties which contain the largest population are those on the east coast with the County of Stanley containing Brisbane ; the County of Ward containing the Gold Coast and the County of Canning containing Caboolture . Several of these were counties in New South Wales before Queensland became a separate colony in 1859. Legal documents used to list
900-701: The 20th century. Parts of South Australia (south-east) and Western Australia (south-west) were similarly divided into counties, and there were also five counties in a small part of the Northern Territory . However South Australia has subdivisions of hundreds instead of parishes, along with the Northern Territory, which was part of South Australia when the hundreds were proclaimed. There were also formerly hundreds in Tasmania. There have been at least 600 counties, 544 hundreds and at least 15,692 parishes in Australia, but there are none of these units for most of
950-830: The ACT. Murray lies east of the Murrumbidgee River , with Cowley to the west of the river. Parishes and counties are not currently used in ACT titles. Instead, the Districts Act 1966 divided the ACT into 18 districts: Canberra Central , Woden Valley , Belconnen , Jerrabomberra , Majura , Tuggeranong , Weston Creek , Gungahlin , Stromlo , Kowen , Hall , Coree , Paddys River , Cotter River , Tennent , Rendezvous Creek , Booth and Mount Clear . The parts of these located in Canberra itself are divided into divisions (i.e. suburbs ), sections and blocks. For example,
1000-523: The Aboriginal names suggested at the time were rejected. At various times 3 other Hundred names were proposed but never adopted. All 561 (535+5+10+8+3) current, obsolete or proposed Hundred names are listed in South Australia's official online gazetteer Placenames Online . The city of Adelaide is located in the Hundred of Adelaide in the County of Adelaide . The County of Adelaide held at least 60% of South Australia's population between 1855 and 1921;

For example, the Sydney Opera House is described as being in Lot 5 in Deposited Plan 775888 at Bennelong Point , Parish of St. James , County of Cumberland , city of Sydney Note that the land administration counties are not the same as the county councils that have been used to administer water and electricity, such as the Goldenfields Water County Council. or Central Tablelands County Council which do not correspond with
1200-541: The Lot number, Registered Plan number, County and Parish. For instance, government land near the Brisbane Cricket Ground was described as "Lot 2 on Registered Plan B31553, County of Stanley , Parish of South Brisbane". However, since the digitisation and renumbering of the cadastre of Queensland, parishes are no longer used on title documents. While they have never officially been abolished, they are no longer used except in historical contexts. In 2006,
1250-657: The Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Water was considering abolishing Counties and Parishes and using only Lot and Plan numbers to identify parcels of land. There are 49 counties in South Australia, mostly in the south-east part of the state. All except 3 of the counties are subdivided into a total of 535 Hundreds . 5 further Hundreds proclaimed between 1853 and 1860 were annulled in 1870. Additionally, 10 Hundreds with names of German origin were renamed after Allied commanders or battles in 1918, 8 of these 10 had been slated for renaming in 1916, but
1300-475: The capital cities: Melbourne , County of Bourke ; Sydney , County of Cumberland ; Brisbane , County of Stanley ; Adelaide , County of Adelaide ; and Hobart , County of Buckingham . However it is not mentioned that Perth was located in the County of Perth , as even by this time county names were infrequently used in Western Australia, where they did not cover all of the settled areas, unlike
1350-691: The county name, such as Argyle County, while the County of Cadell (roughly in the Murray Shire area) is still the name for a vineyard and motor lodge in the same area. The land which became the Australian Capital Territory was made from land in the New South Wales counties of Murray and Cowley . This includes four former parishes of Canberra , Yarrolumla , Narrabundah and Gigerline in Murray and 15 former parishes in Cowley, while land in parts of other parishes of these counties also became part of
1400-445: The county names live on by being the same name of present-day local government areas, general region names, towns or establishments in the area. For instance, the current Shire of Plantagenet and Shire of Victoria Plains in Western Australia are in the similar area to the County of Plantagenet and County of Victoria , respectively. The modern city of Devonport in Tasmania is located in the County of Devon . Some regions do promote

Following the transfer of land from the Government of New South Wales to the Commonwealth Government in 1911, the district was established in 1966 by the Commonwealth via the gazettal of the Districts Ordinance 1966 (Cth) which, after the enactment of the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988, became the Districts Act 1966. This Act

1550-782: The earliest British settlement in Australia, with the County of Cumberland proclaimed by Captain Phillip on 4 June 1788. In 1804 Governor King divided Van Diemen's Land into two counties; Buckingham in the south and Cornwall in the north. The parishes date to the surveys conducted after 1825, with the instructions given to Governor Brisbane on 23 Jun 1825 to divide the colony into counties, hundreds and parishes. At this time there were five counties already proclaimed in New South Wales: Cumberland , Westmoreland , Camden , Argyle and Northumberland . The Nineteen Counties in south-eastern New South Wales were

1600-454: The figure rose to 70.6% in 1966. All of the existing counties had been proclaimed by 1900, except for Le Hunte (proclaimed 1908), Bosanquet (proclaimed 1913), and Hore-Ruthven (proclaimed 1933). Parcels of land in most residential areas are identified with the Deposited Plan or Filed Plan number with an allotment number, for example: "Allotment 20 in Deposited Plan (DP) 11270". In many rural areas and historically in residential areas, land
1650-647: The hundred name, not the county, is mentioned. This is divided into sections. An example of the way locations are described for Darwin is Darwin International Airport listed as being in "Section 3381, Hundred of Bagot from plan LT089/067A" In Alice Springs , where there are no hundreds or counties, legal documents give the lot number, town and plan number, for example "Lot 8721 Town of Alice Springs, plan(s) LTO96/016" There are currently 322 counties in Queensland, subdivided into 5,319 parishes. In

Counties were established soon after the foundation of other Australian colonies. Many of the counties have English names, often the names of counties in England, such as Devon , Dorset , Cornwall and Kent Counties in Tasmania. Less frequently, some have Aboriginal names such as

At the 2021 census , the population of Barton was 1,946. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 1.0% of
1800-422: The nineteenth century, land districts sometimes served as the region name for parts of the state where counties had not been proclaimed yet. Below these are groups of land parcels known as deposited plans, registered plans or title plans (depending on the state). Queensland has registered plans; New South Wales and Western Australia have deposited plans; while Victoria has certified plans. Land can be identified using
1850-527: The number of this plan of subdivision held with the lands department, rather than with a named unit such as a parish (or both can be used); it has become more common to use only the plan number. Within these are individual land parcels such as lots; in total there are estimated to be about 10.2 million of these in Australia. The various cadastral units appear on certificates of title, which are given volume and folio numbers; these numbers by themselves are sometimes used to identify land parcels, or in combination with
1900-491: The other states. Instead the system of land divisions and land districts was used, with most of Perth located in the land districts of Swan , Canning and Cockburn Sound , all in the South West Land Division of Western Australia. Counties and parishes are also still referenced in property law , and in industrial relations instruments , for example in a New South Wales award, which excludes people from
1950-537: The other units. Detailed maps of these divisions have been required since the introduction of the Torrens title system of a central register of land holdings in South Australia in 1858, which spread to the other colonies. While cadastral data since the 1980s has been digitalised, there remain many old maps showing these divisions held in collections of Australian libraries such as the National Library of Australia , as well as in state libraries. Counties were used since
2000-449: The population today. Part of the reason is that counties are based on the size of land, rather than population, so in a large country where most of the population live in cities on the coast while the countryside has a very low population density , they have little relevance. The counties which contain the capital cities have millions of people, while those in remote areas have a very small population. The County of Adelaide, for instance, has
2050-466: The population. 62.5% of the population were born in Australia. Only 6.3% of dwellings were separate houses (compared to the Australian average of 72.3%) and 3.0% were semi-detached, row or terrace houses (Australian average: 12.6%), while 90.9% were flats, units or apartments (Australian average: 14.2%). 46.5% of the population were professionals, compared to the Australian average of 24.0%. Notably 31.6% worked in central government administration, compared to

2100-566: The sparsely inhabited central and western parts of the country. Counties in Australia have little administrative and no political function, unlike those in England or the United States . Australia instead uses local government areas , including shires , districts , city councils , and municipalities according to the state, as the second-level subdivision. Some other states were also divided into land divisions and land districts; in
2150-696: The start of the 20th century, Western Australia had six land divisions which cover the whole state, divided into 80 land districts. The land districts were further subdivided into locations and lots. Western Australia also had 26 counties, all located in the south-west corner of the state, around Perth . The counties were designated in 1829, the year of the foundation of the Swan River Colony , with Governor Stirling instructing that counties were to be approximately 40 miles square (1,600 square miles). The counties appear on some nineteenth century maps of Australia along with counties in other states, however it

Victoria is divided into 37 counties, roughly 40 mi × 40 mi (64 km × 64 km) in size, subdivided into 2,914 parishes. Parishes were subdivided into sections of various sizes for sale as farming allotments, or designated as

The district of Central Canberra is a set of contiguous residential suburbs consolidated around Lake Burley Griffin , together with a town centre located at Canberra City (also known as Civic), and a range of commercial suburbs, some of which form parts of the Parliamentary Triangle and contain many of Canberra's national monuments and institutions. The district
2500-528: Was the land districts which were used for cadastral purposes, and were the equivalent of the counties used in the eastern states. Around the end of the twentieth century, legal documents usually wrote them in the order: land district, location, number. For example: " Swan Location 2301". These are further divided into lots. More recently, Western Australia uses only the lot and deposited plan numbers, such as "Lot 853 on Deposited Plan 222626". Barton, Australian Capital Territory Barton ( postcode : 2600)
