NRS-23900 | Minutes of the Board [Richmond River County Council [II]]

Full description

This series contains the minutes of the board meetings that were held that were held by Richmond River County Council.

These minute books were created under s.107 and 108 of the Municipalities Act of 1867 (Act No.12a, 1867) which was assented to on 23 December 1867, and subsequent legislation.

The General meetings were called for Ordinary business and were recurrent meetings prescribed by legislation to be held at regular intervals. (1)

Special meetings could be called for Extraordinary business by the mayor or by two councillors and dealt with a specific issue. Reports were generally also tabled at these meetings as well as at the general meeting relating to the subject. (2)

Volumes range from 1929 to 2002. After 2002 all records are digital.

The earliest volume contains the minutes from the predecessor agency, Richmond River County Council [I] before the Council was reconstituted on 25 November 1959.
