Wednesday luncheon with Michael Burdett, SA Surveyor-General

Guest Speaker: Michael Burdett, SA Surveyor-General

The State of Boundaries

Michael Burdett succeeded Peter Kentish in the state's top surveying position in 2012 - the role's first private sector appointment in more than 40 years.

Commencing his career as a field surveyor, he spent 15 years in outback SA and the Northern Territory - including in the Kakadu floodplains delivering the survey of the first Aboriginal land claim under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act.

In 1990 he returned to Adelaide, joining the surveying consultancy Alexander Symonds, where he was involved with major development and infrastructure projects, including the establishment of Golden Grove and Mawson Lakes.

Mr Burdett leads 160 registered surveyors in SA - a group responsible for ensuring land titles are secure by locating points on the earth and measuring boundaries.

Mr Burdett works closely with the Surveyors Board, of which he has been a member for 15 years - five of those as chairman.
