VPRS 17697 Index to Council Minutes

This series, the Index to Council Minutes, facilitates retrieval of information from within the Council Minutes (VPRS 10783).Minutes of council meetings were created in accordance with section 145 of the Municipal Institutions Act 1863 (27 Vic., No. 184) and with subsequent legislation relating to local government including the Local Government Act 1958 (No.6299). Many local government bodies in existence prior to 1863 maintained records of their meetings in the form of minutes.These acts have required that for each meeting of council, minutes of all proceedings are recorded together with the names of all councillors present and all who vote for and against motions. The master set of minutes is also required to be signed by the mayor or chairman of the meeting once the minutes have been confirmed at the following council meeting. The minutes relate to the wide range of activities for which the council is responsible, including building, community services, collection of rates, property valuation and town planning.
