Torrens Park Document Translation Services

Torrens Park is a mainly residential inner-southern suburb of Adelaide, incorporating some of the foothills and adjacent to the original "Mitcham Village".

The name was formally submitted for approval in 1945. Torrens Park is named after Sir Robert Torrens, the third Premier of South Australia and instigator of the Torrens title land title system. Torrens Park contained "Torrens Park Estate", the residence of Sir Robert Torrens, which today forms part of the campus of Scotch College. Although the original gates have recently been removed, the original gatehouse to the Estate is still visible at the corner of Belair Road and Ayr Avenue.In comparison with most Adelaide suburbs, Torrens Park is quite large. The north end of the suburb is reasonably flat, but as one travels south (towards the foothills) the terrain rises and becomes hilly. Brown Hill Creek runs through the suburb from the south-east to the north-west. Due to the foothills, the rainfall in the City of Mitcham is 25-50 per cent higher than the rainfall on the Adelaide Plains.Torrens Park has an ageing population, with a high proportion of professionally qualified people.Traditionally, the area has been part of a "blue ribbon Liberal" seat; State member has been Martin Hamilton-Smith since 1997, and Federal member has been Andrew Southcott since 1996.The only school actually located in the suburb is Scotch College.Public transport to Torrens Park is available through the Belair railway line, to the Mitcham (North-West), Torrens Park (West) and Lynton (South-West) stations. Buses are also available to and from the City along Belair Road.
