Politics and Party Zone, main and lower floors
      8.1.4.  House of Representatives and Senate Wing Zone

Rationale
  From their construction in the 1960s until 1988, the House of Representatives Wing and Senate Wing were occupied principally by ministerial and members' offices. The construction was the result of the expansion of the Parliament and government in response to the growing population of Australia. As such they share many characteristics of the Politics and Party Zone, although with a shorter history and generally fewer associations. Collectively, these offices have a shared history and function and similar social values and associations.

  The location, spatial arrangement and confined spaces within this zone collectively reflect the growing and changing needs of the Parliament from its original construction through to the move in 1988. The wings were an addition to the original building and stand alone from the original design concept. The heritage values embodied in this zone have been compromised by recent contamination remediation works, which removed large amounts of original fabric and consequently reduced the ability of the fabric to demonstrate its values and associations.

Location
  Spaces: the House of Representatives and Senate Wings.

Statement of intent
  To facilitate new uses consistent with the heritage values of the zone, while conserving and interpreting those values and ensuring the interpretation of former uses.

Objectives
      1. 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. (Refer
