VPRS 12577 Minutes (II), Met Management Group

This series consists of minutes created to record the meetings of the Met Management Group. The Met was the arm of the Public Transport Corporation (PTC VA 2984) responsible for the management of all metropolitan rail, tram and bus services. In 1990 an agreement was reached between the PTC and private bus operators to rationalise metropolitan bus services.The Transport (Amendment) Act 1989 (No. 44 of 1989), established the PTC and led to considerable administrative changes during 1989/1990, as the State Transport Authority (STA) and Melbourne Transit Authority (MTA) were abolished. The PTC is recorded as the creating agency for this series, however, on advice from the Administrator of the PTC (at 12 October 2000) undissolved committees of the STA may have originally recorded this series.

本档案系列为记录大都会管理小组（Met Management Group）会议所形成的会议纪要。大都会运营部门（Met）系公共交通公司（Public Transport Corporation，PTC VA 2984）的下属分支机构，负责统筹管理全大都会区域的铁路、有轨电车及公交服务。1990年，公共交通公司与私营公交运营商达成协议，以整合优化大都会区域公交服务。1989年《交通（修正案）法案》（1989年第44号）正式设立公共交通公司，并在1989/1990年间推动了重大行政变革——原州交通局（State Transport Authority, STA）与墨尔本交通局（Melbourne Transit Authority, MTA）均被撤销。尽管本档案系列的创建机构被记录为公共交通公司，但根据2000年10月12日公共交通公司管理员的官方意见，州交通局尚未解散的下属委员会可能才是本系列档案的原始记录主体。
