Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially designates the High Court of Australia as a "Parking Authority" for a specific parcel of land in Canberra—Block 15, Section 28 in the suburb of Parkes.

What this means: As a Parking Authority, the High Court now has the legal power to:

Issue parking permits
Set parking restrictions and time limits
Enforce parking rules (including issuing fines) within that defined area

Why it matters: This transfers parking management from the ACT Government to the High Court itself for the land immediately surrounding the court building. It allows the Court to reserve spaces for judges, staff, jurors, and official visitors, and to control access for security and operational reasons.

Legal basis: The declaration is made under ACT road transport regulations as they apply to Commonwealth-owned National Land, specifically authorised by the National Land (Road Transport) Ordinance 2014 (Cth).
