VPRS 18982 Committee of the Whole Council Agendas

This series consists of the agenda papers of the Committee of the Whole Council from Croydon City Council. The records include tabled papers and reports, notices of meetings, and correspondence. The Committee usually met on the same day as the Council meetings. The committee system is employed by most Victorian councils. The Local Government Act 1903 (No.1893) removed the requirement that separate committee minutes be kept and introduced the requirement that committees reports to council be included in the council minutes. In some cases, the minutes of committees are recorded in the council minute books, either in lieu of or in addition to committee reports. Where committee minutes were maintained in separate volumes they constitute a separate series from the council minutes.
