Archives Identifier00115Date Range1842-1843DescriptionThe first meeting of the Wellington Borough Council took place on 11 October 1842. The Council operated until September 1843, when the Ordinance allowing for its establishment was disallowed by the Queen.

The minutes are a record of decisions reached on setting up various committees, creating Standing Orders, surveying the town, deciding on work to be undertaken and how it should be financed. They provide a legal framework for the operation of the new organisation and underpin all other records kept.

Meetings were run as formal committee meetings with notices of motion moved, seconded and voted on. The minutes are in meeting-date order and not indexed.Quantity (Linear Metres)1MediumBound VolumeCollection TypeWellington City Council
