Streets Openings Conference Agenda Papers, 1936-1989

Description

Unique IDAS-0764DateBetween 1st January 1936 and 31st December 1989Date qualifiercircaFormatManila FolderDescriptionThe Streets Openings Conference was set up at the instigation of Lord Mayor Allen Taylor. Its first meeting was held on 10 March 1909 in the Lord Mayor's Room with the Lord Mayor convening. The object of the Conference was to "minimise as much as possible the inconvenience to vehicular traffic, pedestrians and business people generally caused by the indiscriminate opening up of City streets and footways, particularly in the business section of the City, by the various public supply authorities". This was achieved by the various authorities notifying each other of any intended streets openings.

The Conference had no statutory authority. The members consisted of the Postmaster-General's Department, the NSW Government Railways Chief Electrical Engineer, the Department of Road Transport and Tramways, the Department of Main Roads, the Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board, the Australian Gas Light Company, the North Shore Gas Company, the Local Government Association of NSW, and the City Council's Electricity Department and City Engineer's Department. The Town Clerk acted as Secretary to the Conference.

In 1925, the Conference was reconstituted on an officer level, and from that time until 1992 the Town Clerk of Sydney was Chairman. From 1993 the General Manager Katie Lahey has been Chairman.

This series contains agendas and business papers for meetings of the Conference. Most of the business papers are lists of contemplated works that would involve streets openings by members of the Conference.
