Parliament House, Perth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parliament House, Perth is located on Harvest Terrace in Perth, Western Australia. An important building of the Government of Western Australia, it is the home of the Parliament of Western Australia, including the Western Australian Legislative Council and Western Australian Legislative Assembly.
Construction of the first stage of Parliament House was undertaken between 1902 and 1904. The Eastern (city) wing was constructed between 1958 and 1964. The building was extended to the south in 1978. In the 1980s numerous bold proposals were offered to extend the landscape eastwards by covering the Mitchell Freeway and reconnecting the Parliament House precinct with St Georges Terrace.
In 1997, protesting union workers constructed Solidarity Park on vacant land opposite Parliament House.
