I move:

That, in accordance with section 5 of the Parliament Act 1974, the House approve the following proposal for work in the Parliamentary Zone which was presented to the House on 11 September 2017, namely: Demolition of the kiosk adjoining The Lobby restaurant.

The National Capital Authority is seeking approval for proposed works within the parliamentary zone to demolish the kiosk adjoining The Lobby restaurant. The kiosk and The Lobby restaurant are located at the corner of King George Terrace and Parkes Place West within the parliamentary zone in Parkes. The kiosk extension to The Lobby restaurant was built as a temporary structure over a decade ago, and some elements are deteriorating. The proposal does not impact on the original Lobby building. Approval of both houses is sought under section 5(1) of the Parliament Act 1974 for the proposed works in the parliamentary zone. I commend this motion to the House.

Question agreed to.
