National Capital Planning Committee, 1980-84

Component identifier:

Series 12

Content Summary:

Harrison's first association with the National Capital Planning Committee, an advisory body associated with the National Capital Development Commission, began when he attended its October 1958 meeting around the time he joined the staff of the Commission. While at the Urban Research Unit of the ANU in 1979 he became a member of the Committee as a nominee of the Royal Australian Planning Institute. He resigned from the Committee in 1984, referring to his increasing concern about the practices and policies of the NCDC. This series contains papers for the 179th to 190th NCPC meetings (August 1981 to May 1984); correspondence concerning Harrison's resignation from the Committee; and a 1980 draft of the City Centre Policy Plan circulated to Committee members.

Some correspondence relating to Harrison's views and activities as an NCPC member may also be found at Series 15/56.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were donated to the Library by Sheila Harrison in 1991. Small additions were made by Mrs Harrison in 1996 and by Ed Wensing in 1997.
