The Committee was chaired by Australian architect Sir John Sulman , and advised the Minister of Home Affairs on the Construction of Canberra and conducted a review Review the Griffin Plan. The Committee proposed a that development should take place in three stages:
The Committee was largely unsuccessful in achieving its aims, for example Parliament did not move to Canberra until 1927, and no permanent rail connection between Sydney , Canberra and Melbourne was ever completed. However Sulman was instrumental in developing the Garden City aspects of Canberra, he declared that the development of Canberra should take the form of ‘a garden town, with simple, pleasing, but unpretentious buildings’. In 1924 the Committee was abolished due to the slow pace of development, it was replaced by the more successful Federal Capital Commission in 1925. REFERENCES
