Interim Development Application Files, 1949-1951 [South Sydney Municipal Council]

Description

Unique IDAS-0094Start dateBetween 1st January 1949 and 31st December 1951Start date qualifiercircaFormatRegistered FileShort descriptionThis series contains interim development application files for properties within the boundaries of South Sydney Municipal Council, 1949-1951.DescriptionThis series contains interim development application files for properties within the boundaries of South Sydney Municipal Council, 1949-1951. These were transferred from Sydney City Council in 1968.

This series is controlled by the Planning Street Cards (AS-0533) in the period 01/01/1949 to 31/12/1951 - Only the microfiche of the Planning Street Cards for the South Sydney Municipal Council (SSMC) files survives. The series was created by the City Architect and Building Surveyors Department II (AG-0016). It was preceded by the Interim Development Application Files (AS-0305).

Prior to 1945 local councils had little control over development. The Local Government (Town and Country Planning) Amendment Act 1945 set out to rationalise and coordinate development for the whole of the County of Cumberland, of which Sydney City Council was the Number 1 electorate.

To do this the Cumberland County Council was established and required to prepare an overall planning scheme for the County. It was envisaged that this scheme would take three years to complete. In order to control development in the interim period, Interim Plans were formulated.

The first Interim Plan was adopted on 12 July 1946. This meant that an application was required to be submitted to the local council before any development could take place. ‘Development’ can be defined as any change in the use of the buildings, land or work from its previous use, subdivision of land, or erection of a building.

Applications such as the ones in this series that were submitted in the period between the gazettal of the First Interim Plan in 1946, and the County of Cumberland Planning Scheme in 1951, were referred to as interim development applications.

Development was controlled jointly the local council and the Cumberland County Council. From July 1946 to September 1949, the City Engineer was the Council officer responsible for approving applications, although the files were created by the City Building Surveyor's Department. During this period the Interim Development Application Files (AS-0305) were maintained in a separate series. From September 1949 the City Building Surveyor took over the function and the files were made up as part of City Building Surveyor's Department Correspondence Files (AS-0138). They were no longer given a separate run of numbers.

In 1968 there was a reorganisation of Sydney City Council's boundaries, which resulted in the establishment of Northcott Municipal Council (and the redistribution of certain areas from the City Council's area to Woollahra, Leichhardt and Marrickville Municipal Councils). Northcott Council (later renamed South Sydney Municipal Council), took in the suburbs of Redfern, Waterloo, Darlington, Alexandria, Newtown, and Erskineville.

The interim development applications files relating to Northcott Council's area, dating back to 1949, were removed from AS-0138, and transferred to Northcott Council.

On 1 January 1982, South Sydney Municipal Council was abolished and the area re-amalgamated with Sydney City Council. The records of South Sydney Municipal Council, including the interim development application files, were transferred back to Sydney City Council, where they have been maintained separately in AS-0094.
