		With Canberra as the national capital and the seat of Parliament, Parliament House seemed the most appropriate venue for meetings.
		Between September 1939 and 7 October 1941, during the Menzies and Fadden ministries, the War Cabinet held 82 meetings in Melbourne, 38 in Canberra, 16 in Sydney and one in Brisbane.

		With the Parliament in two "Houses" it would seem that the fact should be recognized architecturally, so herewith is suggested an organic arrangement with "administration" as a focus and dominating feature comprising the general executive offices and official head-quarters for popular official and social functions and ceremonials.
		Were the Parliament in one house, the following alternative arrangement would be adaptable to the same site conditions, and in that case, preferable, which it may be anyway, as a logical sequence from the general and fundamental representative course of government, parliament, through its principle attributes to its least important subdivision.
		The Theatre, and Opera House on either side are each reached on one side from the municipal avenue on one hand and from the boulevard of the water front garden on the other, for maximum accessibility from the residential districts.
