Roadway Control Books, 1834-1987

Description

Unique IDAS-1088DateBetween 1st January 1834 and 30th June 1987Date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - Leather BoundDescriptionThe Roadway Control Books record who controls the roadway (usually Council, a State Government department, or a private person), who is responsible for maintenance and lighting, what is permitted and not permitted on the roadway, when public roads were dedicated, whether it is a right of way or a private lane, and if it has been renamed or resumed. Some of the entries have an accompanying sketch.

The Books record the roadway number (a single number allocated to each roadway), roadway name, the departmental file number (CRS 144), the Town Clerk's file number (CRS 34), and later the activity file number (CRS 116), Engineer's plan number, and remarks. Reference is also made to related deed packets contained in CRS 50, entries in the Miscellaneous Books (CRS 119) and the Legal Opinions Book (CRS 1089). Occasionally a photocopy from the Proceedings of Council with a resolution of Council has been pasted in.

Item 1: "Roadway Control Book 1 (Microfilmed)"
Dates from 1929 to 1969, and has information on roadway numbers 1 to 908. This volume covers areas transferred to the City of Sydney in 1949, including Redfern, Newtown and Paddington.

Item 2: "Roadway Control Bk 2"
Dates from 1966 until around 1973. It covers roadway numbers 909 to 1207. This book does not appear to have been microfilmed.

Item 3: "Roadway Control (Microfilmed 11.5.1982)"
Dates from around 1932 until 30 June 1987. It covers roadways 1 to 1086. When this volume was microfilmed it only had entries from 1932 until 1981, roadway numbers 1 to 908.

Item 3 does not appear to include roadways in the areas transferred to the City in 1949 that are listed in Item 1. The same numbers used in this book do not match the roadways for the corresponding numbers in Item 1. It is possible that this book was re-written from the information recorded in Item 1, excluding the areas that were transferred out of the City of Sydney in 1968. The numbers previously allocated to roadways in Paddington, Newtown Redfern etc were then allocated to City of Sydney roadways.

Some of the information in the books dates back to 1834. The books are not indexed.
