FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Canberra could have boasted an airport within metres of Parliament House or been modelled on Venice if King O’Malley had chosen a different winning design for Australia’s national capital.
Other designs for Canberra included an Australian entry which was criticised for including streets that “led to nowhere” but included power stations and a sewerage system.
A Finnish design that included 10 bridges was both admired and criticised for visualising the Australian capital as a “little Venice”.
Instead, then home affairs minister King O’Malley – the self-appointed judge of the competition to design Australia’s capital – chose a design by Chicago architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin in May 1912.
Walter Burley Griffin’s vision was a city of the future, incorporating the civic and the social.
The plan was for a central triangle, within which would sit Parliament House, a building Griffin called the “people’s palace”, with the Brindabella Ranges as the backdrop.
The design is now known as Canberra.
An exhibition to mark the centenary of the winning design was officially opened on Thursday by Regional Australia Minister Simon Crean.
“Grand Vision – Centenary of the Capital Plan” includes reproductions of the winning plans and renderings produced by the Griffins, along with an original copy of the report accompanying their entry.
It also includes the original wooden box which contained the competition kit sent to cities across the world and reproductions of the designs from other finalists.
The exhibition is open until June 27 at Parliament House in Canberra.
