Centenary of Canberra history advisor Dr David Headon, located the 29-page document in storage. The document also included five hand-drawn diagrams by Marion Mahony Griffin.
This is the last original component of the Griffins’ competition entry and, as per the terms of the 1911-12 competition, the entry belongs to the Commonwealth.
ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher will return the document on behalf of the ACT Government in a formal handover tomorrow at Parliament House.
The documents will be placed on display as part of a National Capital Authority exhibition at Parliament House and later stored at the National Archives of Australia.
