  • Forward by the Governor-General
    Office of the Governor-General Corporate Plan 2016-2018 Forward by the Governor-General Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is represented in the State of Grenada by a Governor - General, appointed by the Crown, on the advice of the Grenadian Prime Minister. The core functions of the office of the Governor-General are Constitutional – ensuring the legitimacy and continuity of Government, signing the writ that dissolves Parliament before a General Election, appointing the Government after an election, giving the throne speech at the state opening of Parliament, swearing in members of the judiciary, among others. In her Ceremonial role, the Governor-General represents the Queen and Grenadians at important public ceremonies. The Governor-General provides non-partisan community leadership and is the patron of many charitable, service, sporting and community organizations in Grenada. Other community functions have a ceremonial dimension such as addresses to open conferences, presenting awards or launching special appeals. For her international role, the Governor-General represents Grenada abroad on official visits, receives foreign dignitaries and the like. The Government House Corporate Plan is a working document that sets out the blue print for the effective and efficient execution of the functions of the office. It is a practical reference for the Governor-General and the dedicated staff of the Governor-General’s Office, geared to enabling the office to achieve its stated objectives and established priorities. Notable among these is the restoration of Government House destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The activities surrounding the restoration of Government House features prominently in our Corporate Plan as we strive to restore this historic building to its former glory, befitting of our rich cultural heritage, a true symbol of national pride.

  • The Parliamentary Calendar
    7 The parliamentary calendar The appointment of the times for the holding of sessions of Parliament, the prorogation of the Parliament and the dissolution of the House, is a matter for decision by the Governor- General. The Constitution states: The Governor-General may appoint such times for holding the sessions of the Parliament as he thinks fit, and may also from time to time, by Proclamation or otherwise, prorogue the Parliament, and may in like manner dissolve the House of Representatives.1 In practice however these vice-regal prerogatives are exercised with the advice of the Executive Government.2 Once a Parliament (session), or a further session within that Parliament, has commenced, the days and times for the routine meetings and adjournments of the House are a matter for the House to decide, yet in practice, by virtue of its majority support, these decisions rest with the Executive Government. The Constitution also provides that the House of Representatives can continue for no longer than three years from the first meeting of the House.3 The significance of this to the concept of a representative Parliament and Government is that a Parliament is of limited duration on the democratic principle that the electors must be able to express their opinions at regular general elections. On the other hand a Parliament of short fixed-term duration may be viewed as undesirable in that too frequent elections have disruptive and/or negative effects on the parliamentary and governmental processes. Of further significance is the principle that Parliament should be neither out of existence nor out of action for any undue length of time.

  • Sydney Government House
    TOP EDUCATION STUDENT FIELD TRIP INSTITUTE SEMESTER 1/2019 SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE Government House is the Official Residence and Office of His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d) 38th Governor of New South Wales and Mrs Linda Hurley. His Excellency is the 27th Governor to occupy this Government House and has held the position since 2 October 2014. In 1788, soon after a British settlement was established at Sydney Cove, the first Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Governor Arthur Phillip, laid the foundations of Sydney’s first Government House. This building was located in Bridge Street (on the site of the Museum of Sydney). After nearly 50 years of serving as the colony’s political, ceremonial and social centre, the building had become worn and dilapidated and many submissions were made to the British government for permission and funding to construct a new building. In 1836 construction finally began on a new Government House. The new building was influenced in its location and architectural style by the existing Governor’s Stables, completed in 1821 (now the Conservatorium of Music located at the main entry gates to Government House). Locally quarried sandstone was used for the construction. The building was designed by Edward Blore, architect to William IV and Queen Victoria. Blore had recently built the British Houses of Parliament in an Elizabethan Gothic style, expressing the continuity of government by constitutional monarchy. Blore had also worked on Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The new Government House was built in the Gothic Revival style characterized by castellated towers and other medieval features.

  • Non Vice Regal Function Policy
    NON VICE REGAL FUNCTION POLICY 1. The objective of the policy is to: 1.1 Promote the appreciation and use of Government House Sydney and its grounds by permitting their use for functions. 1.2 Ensure that the financial viability, security and dignity of Government House as the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales is maintained. 2. Types of Functions Applications for functions will be considered on receipt of a detailed application by the interested party. The categories of functions generally allowed, subject to final approval of the Governor (or Official Secretary) are: 2.1 Those hosted by an organisation where the Governor is a patron. 2.2 Those hosted by a charitable organisation (where the Governor is not a patron). 2.2.1 Those charitable organisations who seek permission for the Governor- General of the Commonwealth of Australia or State/Territory Vice-Regal Representative to host or officiate an event at Government House will be excluded. Precedence must always be given to the Governor of New South Wales. 2.3 Those hosted by the Prime Minister, Premier, Federal or State Minister where the event, award ceremony or commemoration recognises citizens of New South Wales or is of predominant benefit to the State of New South Wales. 2.3.1 This excludes those events of a party political nature or the launch of a policy. 2.4 Commercial filming and photography (or limited other commercial activity) which does not diminish the dignity of Government House as the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales and where there is an identifiable benefit to Government House or the State of New South Wales.
