Its function was deliberating and reporting to the Agriculture Minister upon issues such as: admission standards for courses; evaluation of proposals for explosives demonstrations; deputations from Colleges; Committee membership; practical farm work placements; academic term dates; approval of text books; recommendations for infrastructural investment in Colleges; new course and syllabus proposals; and reports from College principals. The Committee wound up at the end of 1975 and was succeeded by separate advisory committees for Dookie and Longerenong, which reported directly to the Minister. There is a reference to minutes prior to 1960 but these are not held by the Minutes Office. Available minutes commence with the first meeting for 1960 and continue through to the final meeting of the Committee on 16th December 1975.
