The series comprises bound volumes of the minutes of the meetings of the National Capital Development Commission.  The purpose of the meetings were to discuss the business of the Commission; it also appears that they received and endorsed the minutes of the Planning and Programme Committees (CRS A8847 & CRS A8842) and of Special Project meetings (CRS A8846).
 
Membership comprised the Commissioner and two Associate Commissioners.  
Meetings were held weekly, usually on a Monday, for the life of the Commission.
 
The volumes are tan in colour with a dark brown coloured spine and corne rs and the item title printed in gold coloured type on the spine.  
The contents comprise meeting agenda printed on green coloured paper and meeting minutes on white paper with the right hand margin colour coded in red striping commencing at Volume 8.
 
Initial meeting minutes in Volume 1A were numbered A to S.
 
Mr Daryl Powell, an officer of the ACT Planning Authority and the former Publications Editor of the NCDC advises that 15-20 sets of minutes were produced in-house at NCDC but only 3 sets were bound (commercially). They are usually identified on the spine as being either series 1, 2 or 3.  Each page of the series 1 set was either initialled or signed and dated by the Committee chairman as an accurate record, and hence, constitute the official record and agency policy.
 
After the demise of the NCDC in 1989, volumes were dispersed between: the Interim Territory Planning Authority located on the 6th level, Braddon Offices, 220 Northbourne Avenue, Braddon, ACT; the Registry on the 1st level of the same building; storage at 219 Northbourne Avenue; and the library of the National Capital Planning Authority, 10 Brisbane Avenue, Barton, ACT.
 
One volume was unaccounted for and could not be traced by the agency.  
Various meeting minutes and extracts of papers submitted to meetings can be found on meeting and/or subject files in CRS A1340, Correspondence files, annual single number series.
