Office of the Prime Minister and Privy Council

The heritage office complex faces Parliament Hill across Wellington Street. It is best treated as an exterior part of the parliamentary precinct, not a public interior attraction.

Why go

The building's relationship to Parliament is political as well as architectural, but visitors should not expect to enter a working office. As a working office it explains the geography of government more than it offers a direct visit, so observe it within the wider Wellington Street setting.

What to look for

  • The heritage facade faces the Parliament Hill grounds.

Useful to know

  • View the working government building from public space; do not expect interior access.
