What are the buildings or locations that are connected to each level of government?

Thanks for your question! There are many buildings and places associated with the different levels of government; however, each level has a main meeting place.

Australia has three levels of government:

  • federal 
  • state/territory
  • local.

The main meeting place at the federal level is Australian Parliament House in Canberra.

At a state level the main meeting place is a parliament in the state's capital city. At a local level the main meeting place is a council chamber.

Description

Provisional Parliament House – also known as Old Parliament House – is where Parliament met in Canberra between 1927 and 1988. It is the smaller, white building visible at the bottom of this image. Parliament moved into a new building, Australian Parliament House, in 1988. The new building is roughly 300 metres away from the old building. In the centre of this image, the much larger Australian Parliament House is visible, with its distinctive flag mast and the Australian flag.
