Notes, agendas and papers of the Dean's Advisory Committee of the Faculty of the Built Environment. The meetings are used by the Dean to inform members of matters of university wide importance, and of general academic and administrative changes in university policy. The committee discusses issues of faculty wide interest such as enrolments, new course proposals, research and reviews. The dean also acts as official link to the Chair of the Faculty Committee for any issues or suggestions for further action put forward by the meeting. Notes for meetings were only kept from the September 2003 meeting onwards.

The School of Town Planning came into being on 1 July 1971 (File 26695, CN1160 Bx81). The Personnel Sub-Committee of the Executive Committee of Council had recommended on 13.4.1971 H. (i) that the Faculty of Architecture be re-established with separate Schools of Architecture, Building and Town Planning; (ii) that the two latter Schools come into being on the filling of the vacant chairs; and (iii) that the School of Architecture and Building become the School of Architecture on the filling of the Chair of Building. The recommendation was considered by the Executive Committee of Council on 27.4.1971. The recommendation was approved by Council at its meeting on 10 May 1971 (Resolution 71/53) when it appointed Professor John H Shaw as Professor of Town Planning and Head of School thus creating the School of Town Planning. At the meeting of Council on 13th September, 1993, the name of the faculty was changed to the Faculty of the Built Environment (resolution CL93/73g). On 30 October 1995 Council altered the name of the school to the School of Planning & Urban Development (CL95/84). On 25 August 1997 Council disestablished all schools within the Faculty of the Built Environment - including the School of Planning & Urban Development - and created in their place a single School of the Built Environment effective from 31 December 1997 (resolution CL97/66/9c).

The Department of Architecture & Building dates back to the formation of the university itself on 1 July 1949, as it was one of the departments that had much of its origins in the Sydney Technical College. This included the first head of the department, Professor F. E. A. Towndrow, whose appointment from the college to the university was simply transferred on the date of the university's establishment. When the first three university faculties were established by Council on 8 May 1950 (resolution 54), Architecture & Building became the sole department within the Faculty of Architecture. On 10 September 1951 Council changed the designation of all departments to schools and so the School of Architecture & Building came into existence (resolution 153). On 10 May 1971 Council approved a re-establishment of the Faculty of Architecture, whereby the School of Architecture & Building became the School of Architecture and a separate School of Building was created (resolution 71/53). At the meeting of Council on 13th September, 1993, the name of the faculty was changed to the Faculty of the Built Environment (resolution CL93/73g). On 25 August 1997 Council disestablished all schools within the Faculty of the Built Environment - including the School of Architecture - and created in their place a single School of the Built Environment effective from 31 December 1997 (resolution CL97/66/9c).
