I move:

That, in accordance with section 5 of the Parliament Act 1974, the House approves the following proposal for works in the Parliamentary Zone which were presented to the House on 9 May 2023, namely: the John Gorton campus car park.

The National Capital Authority has received a works approval application for the construction of a new building within the Parliamentary Triangle for a new car park and child-care facilities. The building is to be cited east of the John Gorton Building at the intersection of King Edward Terrace and Kings Avenue in Parkes. The work comprises the construction of 1,070 car-parking spaces; a child-care centre and outdoor play area; landscaping; and roadworks which include upgrades to the Blackall Street and Kings Avenue intersection. The Parliament Act 1974 requires that both houses of parliament approve works within the Parliamentary Zone.

Question agreed to.
