Parking Station Licence Files, 1964-1991

Description

Unique IDAS-0137Start dateBetween 1st December 1964 and 26th March 1991Start date qualifiercircaFormatRegistered FileShort descriptionThis series contains files of applications for parking station licenses issued by Council under Ordinance 34(B) of the Local Government Act.DescriptionThis series contains files of applications for parking station licenses issued by Council under Ordinance 34(B) of the Local Government Act. This Ordinance required all parking stations within the City of Sydney to be licensed annually by the Council.

The files were created by:
- Health and Community Services AG-0006 in the period 01/01/1989 to 26/03/1991
- Planning and Building Department AG-0008 in the period 25/10/1971 to 31/12/1988
- City Architect and Building Surveyors Department II AG-0016 in the period 01/12/1964 to 25/10/1971.

They are controlled by Annual Register of Parking Station License Files (AS-0709) in the period 24/11/1972 to 08/03/1988.

The files contain the license application and subsequent renewals, plans of the parking spaces, correspondence, building inspector's reports, and occasionally receipts for licenses paid.

The files often contain references to Town Clerk's Department Correspondence Files (AS-0034), and Development Application Files (AS0062). If the parking station was a new one that entailed a change in the use of the site, a development application had to be lodged with Council for approval before the parking station could begin to operate.

In 1979 when a centralised correspondence file system was introduced into Council, applications for Parking Stations were supposed to be files in Central Activity Files (AS-0116), under the file classification 11.25. However, there are only a few license applications contained in that series. Most of the licenses were still placed in this series. AS-0116 was used mostly for policy matters relating to parking station licenses.

In 1989 the administration of parking station licenses passed from the Planning Department to Health and Community Services. At this time the files were top-numbered from their original single number system to an alphanumerical one based on the street address of the station. For example, file number 143 for 71 York Street became Y1, file number 255 for 78-130 York Street became Y2, and file number 217 for 111-115 York Street became Y3.

In 1992, most of the post-1988 papers on parking station files were removed and placed in General Correspondence Files, 1988-1997 (AS-0326). The remaining files were then transferred to Archives and have now been listed following the original single number system.
