It was created by Paddington Municipal Council AG-0070 (01/01/1860 to 01/01/1948).

The minutes recorded the business transacted, and included dates of meetings, attendance, the matters discussed, resolutions carried and defeated, and reports received from council officers and various committees and sub-committees.

Sydney City Council holds the two volumes which covered the years 1934 to 1937 and 1914 to 1919. The other volumes of this series are held by the Local Studies Collection of the Woollahra Municipal Library. It is not known how the series came to be split in this way.

The volume covering 1914 to 1919 was handwritten and contained an index at the rear, alphabetised by subject relating to the numbered minutes in the volume. Pages in the volume were numbered, each council minute was also numbered. The typescript volume covering 1934 to 1937 was bound, in reverse chronological order, and included an index at the beginning of each year listing the key items of business transacted, with references to dates of meetings.
