House of Representatives and Senate Wing Zone, upper, main and lower floors
      8.1.5.  Ancillary Functions Zone

Rationale
  The spaces and other elements within this zone collectively relate to the activities undertaken essentially outside of the direct functions of government and of the Parliament. The zone principally embodies those areas relating to services, dining, recreation and storage.

  The spaces for these activities are grouped together at the rear of the building on the Main Floor, on the Lower Floor for staff and non-members, and in basement areas. This is a reflection of design intent and is supported by the continuity of use. The designation of these facilities within a single zone conforms with the spatial, historical and functional logic of the areas, while the values embodied by this zone are common to all its principal areas. Many of the spaces were designed to be utilitarian workspaces or areas intended to be modified on an ongoing basis in response to the changing needs of the place. Many parts of the zone have also been modified over time with the result that the heritage values have been compromised to varying degrees.

Location
  Spaces: the Members' Dining Room and Kitchen; Billiard Room; Members' Bar; Former Members' Private Dining Room; Non-Members' Bar; plant rooms; storage rooms; basements and courtyards.

Statement of intent
  To continue to provide services and facilities consistent with the heritage values of the zone, while ensuring the conservation and interpretation of heritage values.

Objectives
      1. To provide opportunities for appropriate functions, events and activities without compromising heritage values. (Refer to Policies 4 and 6)

      2. To facilitate public access for the purposes of telling the story of Australian democracy and the physical evolution of the place, without having an adverse impact on the heritage values.
