Woolloomooloo Technical Liaison Committee

Unique IDAG-0183DescriptionThe [Commonwealth] Urban and Regional Development (Financial Assistance) Act 1974, made provision for the approval by the Commonwealth Minister for Urban and Regional Development, in consultation with the appropriate State minister, of programs relating to urban expansion and redevelopment.

On 27 June 1975, the Commonwealth and NSW Governments signed an agreement to redevelop Woolloomooloo into a primarily residential area with 65% of housing to be public housing. The Agreement made provision for the establishment of a Technical Liaison Committee to comprise of representatives from the Commonwealth Departments of Urban and Regional Development, and Housing and Construction, the Housing Commission of NSW, the NSW Planning and Environment Commission, and the Sydney City Council.

By a Resolution of Council on 28 July 1975, the Deputy Town Clerk, Graham Joss, and the City Planner, John Doran, were appointed Council's representatives. Graham Joss was subsequently elected Chairman of the Committee.

The purpose of the Committee was to advise and report to the Commonwealth and State Ministers, and the Lord Mayor, on all aspects of the design, planning and control of the Precinct, and the construction and management of the Project.

The Committee did not cease to exist technically until 31 December 1988, when Woolloomooloo became part of the new Council of the City of South Sydney. However, according to the Chairman, Graham Joss, the Committee had not met for several years because there was no real need to meet.CreationTripartite Agreement made under the Urban and Regional Development (Financial Assistance) Act 1974 (Commonwealth)AbolitionCity of Sydney Act 1988
