WCC, Tawa District Office and Service Centre correspondence files

Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00349Date Range1953-2001DescriptionThis series consists of correspondence to, from and within the Tawa District Office and Service Centre of the Wellington City Council.

Following the amalgamation of the Tawa Borough Council with Wellington in 1989 the Tawa office remained open and used as a Service Centre for Tawa residents. The bulk of the correspondence files at that time (now Series 00290) were closed; a small number were retained which became the basis for this series.

The files cover a wide range of information, mainly focused around the routine operation and regulation of the Office. File subject matter ranges from subdivision, building and encroachment, street works, water works and drainage works through to the financing and staffing of the Office itself. In addition to correspondence, the series also contains reports, plans and photographs.

The system is alphabetical and subject based. It is divided into major subject divisions and listed alphabetically within these. There are also some files which do not fit into these major groups and are listed alphabetically together. Major sub-series (subject groupings) within the series include:

- Development/Redevelopment
- Election
- Reserves
- Sewers/wastewater
- Staff
- Streets
- District Scheme
- Subdivisions
- Swimming pool
- Town planning
- Water Supply

The majority of correspondence relating to subdivision records is filed in alphabetical order by the name of the applicant carrying out the subdivision. There is also a small number of files, particularly for large-scale subdivisions by commercial companies or the Crown, that are arranged by the subdivision name, for example the Redwood Subdivision. To help find correspondence relating to specific subdivisions a number of these files have been indexed to the subdivision level. Indexing includes the applicant’s name, address and the Deposited Plan number of the subdivision parent plan.Quantity (Linear Metres)0MediumFileSystem of ArrangementAlphabetical by subject, some loose reports as wellCollection TypeWellington City Council
