ACT Legislative Assembly

The ACT Legislative Assembly is the governing body of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), responsible for making and enacting laws that affect the lives of Canberra’s residents. Located in Civic Square, the Assembly plays a crucial role in the democratic process, providing a platform for elected representatives to debate issues, represent their constituents, and oversee the territory’s administration. The Assembly consists of 25 members, known as MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assembly), who are elected every four years. The building itself is a striking architectural landmark that reflects the democratic values of transparency and accessibility. It hosts regular sessions, community events, and public forums, encouraging citizen engagement in the legislative process. Visitors to the Assembly can explore its facilities, attend debates, and participate in guided tours to learn about the ACT’s governance. The ACT Legislative Assembly is committed to serving the community, fostering an inclusive environment, and promoting public involvement in local governance.
