About New Parliament House

Parliament House is the gathering spot of the Parliament of Australia, situated in Canberra, the capital of Australia.

The building was composed by Mitchell/Giurgola and Thorp Architects and opened on 9 May 1988 by Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia.

It cost more than A$1.1 billion to build.Federal Parliament gatherings were first held in Melbourne until 1927.

In the vicinity of 1927 and 1988, the Parliament of Australia met in the Provisional Parliament House, which is presently known as "Old Parliament House".

Development of Australia's changeless Parliament House was postponed while its area was wrangled.

Development of the new building started in 1981. The primary outline of the structure depends on the state of two boomerangs and is beaten by an 81-meter 266 ft flagpole.
