VPRS 16012 Committee Records

Full description

The series comprised files created by various committees including the advisory committees of the Council.

The committee system is employed by most Victorian councils. A committee may be appointed by a council for any purpose which it is felt would be better regulated and managed by such committee. A committee may be either a standing committee or an occasional committee. Standing committees (in areas such as finance, public works, health, etc.) are appointed to oversee specific matters on an ongoing basis. Such committees submit reports to the council regularly and these are included in the Council Minutes. Occasional committees are appointed for shorter terms to manage such things are arrangements for ceremonial occasions.Membership of committees is made up of some or all of the councillors of the municipality.

The P1 consignment contains records of the Cultural Advisory Committee and the Shepparton Anniversary Committee for the period 1984 to 1994.
