In accordance with the provisions of the Parliament Act 1974, I present a proposal for works within the Parliamentary Zone, together with supporting documentation, relating to the construction of the National Portrait Gallery. I seek leave to give a notice of motion in relation to the proposal.

Leave granted.

I give notice that, on Thursday, 30 March 2006, I shall move:

That, in accordance with section 5 of the Parliament Act 1974, the Senate approves the proposal by the National Capital Authority for capital works within the Parliamentary Zone, being the construction of the National Portrait Gallery.

I seek leave to make a statement in relation to this matter.

Leave granted.

For the information of senators, a display illustrating the full scope and design of the proposed works and their impact on the Parliamentary Zone will be located outside committee room 2S3 until 5 pm, Wednesday, 29 March 2006.
