Did you know that the NSW Legislative Council is Australia's first and oldest legislative body? Our Bicentenary falls in 2024 - marking 200 years since the Council sat for the very first time in 1824. To commemorate the occasion and to celebrate two centuries of evolving democracy for the nation, we'll be holding a range of special events and publishing plenty of fascinating resources via our dedicated Bicentenary webpage at www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/bicentenary.
