Seat of Government Act 1904
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Seat of Government Act 1904 was an Australian Commonwealth Government Act selecting the Area around Dalgety, New South Wales as the site for the Federal Capital Territory (now Australian Capital Territory).
The site turned out to be unacceptable to the Government of New South Wales, due partly to its distance from Sydney and proximity to Victoria. It was repealed in 1908 by the passing of the Seat of Government Act 1908 act, selecting Yass-Canberra as the new site for the territory.
