(a) Town reserves are situated on rivers. (b) Town reserves are typically 3 x 1 miles, and within them only small allotments are released for houses, shops &c and room provided for future expansion. (c) Within the town reserve reservations made for public buildings and other purposes. (d) The town layout is on a rectangular grid, but adjusted to suit the topography. (e) The dimensions of allotments and streets are as provided by the Darling regulations. (f) There are incentives or requirements to encourage substantial building on town lots and to discourage speculation in land [easy when it was a condition of a lease, but difficult when the land has been sold freehold]. (g) Outside the town reserve, river frontages are shared in long strip allotments. (h) The surveying of rural land is generally into sections of one square mile, on a north-south, east-west orientation.
