CONSTITUTION PLACE was named as a lasting tribute to the historic Constitutional Convention held in February 1998. The Convention took place in Old Parliament House to consider whether Australia should become a republic.
The windbreak here was planted by Charles Weston who, as Superintendent of Parks and Gardens, was responsible for planting two million trees in and around the national capital from 1913 to 1926.
