VPRS 16495 Notes of Commissioners

This series consists of notes made by Commissioners during the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. The Commissioners were: The Hon. Bernard Teague AO – Chairperson Ronald McCleod AM - Commissioner Susan Pascoe AM - Commissioner The Commissioner’s primary role was outlined in the Commission’s final report as follows: To direct and oversee all matters relating to the Commission’s terms of reference. To rule on applications by parties seeking leave to appear in formal hearings. To consider the evidence presented. To assess the relevance of the evidence and the weight to be given to it. To ensure that all pertinent lines of inquiry were pursued. To draw conclusions and make recommendations in accordance with the terms of reference. To direct and oversee the writing of reports and approve their contents. The series is organized into two parts: Records relating to Bernard Teague are in transfer consignment P0001, in digital format. Records relating to Ronald McCleod and Susan Pascoe are in transfer consignment P0002, in physical format. The latter appears to relate primarily to Ronald McCleod. There may be some cross-over between the parts, so researchers should examine the entire series to make sure they identify all records of interest.
