The committee was concerned with the management and development of the veterinary science site in Parkville.This site, held in trust between the University and the Minister for Agriculture, then also contained buildings occupied byy the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, and the CSIRO. On the occasion of the first meeting, the committee elected Dr. H.E. Albiston as chairman. Also at this first meeting, it was noted that the committee had been provided with neither Terms of Reference or clear reporting lines.In the circumstances the committee determined that it's role should an advisory one, with reports directed to the Vice-Chancellor for the time being.

Iii) Establishment of authority to administer the site. Iv) Examine solutions to problems suchas services connection, traffic management and parking. V) Ensuring that site access not restricted by quarantine operations. At the meeting on 13th June 1964, the committee agreed to rename the site the Veterinary Science Precinct, and the name of the committee was changed to the 'Precinct Development Committee' to reflect this. Despite the committee not meeting for several years, work on the site continued with the Director of the Veterinary Research Institute acting in a superintendent's role, liaising with the other site occupants to enable construction of roads and services for the site. Having reconvened in 1969, the committee undertook to meet more regularly but did not meet again until 1972. The last documented meeting of the committee was held on 27th November 1980, although there is no reference in the minutes to the committee winding up.Collection CategoryUniversity, officialAccess StatusAccess restrictions applyRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this Series
