City of Sydney Youth Service Committee Minute Book, 1957-1960

Description

Unique IDAS-0747DateBetween 1st January 1957 and 1st January 1960Date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionThe City of Sydney Youth Advisory Service was not a Committee of Council but C S Garth, who was the Director of the Parks Department was its Honorary Secretary and Alderman Canon Arrowsmith was a member of the Committee. This series is Garth's copy of the minutes of the Committee.

The first meeting of the Committee was 26 July 1957. The Committee's constitution provided for it to be an advisory body, collecting and disseminating information and making recommendations to local Councils for suitable schemes to avoid juvenile delinquency. For example, in 1960, it recommended to Council that a youth centre be established in Surry Hills.

Council subsidised the Committee but the Minutes of Council for 5 May 1958 record that it considered "the suppression of child delinquency is to a major degree the responsibility of the Department of Child Welfare and Social Welfare". On 19 December 1960 Council decided not to further subsidise the Committee "pending a determination of the Government's proposals with regard to the establishment of an Advisory Committee on Youth Service generally".

The last minutes in this volume are dated 15 December 1960. It appears that Council did not have any involvement with the Committee after this time.Relationship summaryCREATED BY: Parks and Recreations Department AG-0010 (01/01/1948 to 01/01/1988)
