Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The Loan Appropriation Act 1935 authorises the Commonwealth to spend £170,000 of previously borrowed money on infrastructure in the Federal Capital Territory (now the ACT). Funds are allocated for architectural and engineering services and developmental works to facilitate transferring government staff to Canberra. It affects the Department of Interior and mattered because it legally enabled Commonwealth spending to build Australia’s new capital.
