Parliament House is where Australia's Parliament, consisting of the Senate (Upper House) and the House of Representatives (Lower House) meets. Positioned on Capital Hill in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, the current Parliament House began being constructed in 1981. The building was finally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 May 1988, the anniversary of the opening of both the first Federal Parliament in Melbourne (9 May 1901), and of the Provisional Parliament House in Canberra (9 May 1927). The final cost was over $1,000 million, making Parliament House the most expensive building in Australian history.
