Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

The Governor‑General, with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, revokes the 2008 proclamation and declares Block 15, Section 28 in DP10480 (Parkes, ACT) — excluding the area occupied by the High Court building but including any other buildings thereon — to be part of the High Court precincts.

The instrument simply changes the statutory boundary; it does not set operational rules, costs, enforcement or funding arrangements.
