Capital Hill (35°19′S 149°07′E), (postcode: 2600) is the location of Parliament House, Canberra, at the south apex of the land axis of the Parliamentary Triangle. The site of Capital Hill was selected as the location of the Capitol in Walter Burley Griffin's Canberra design in 1912. In Capital Hill the construction of the current parliament building required removing much of the top half of the hill, and after construction, much of the earth was replaced on top of the building. The surrounding hill is landscaped with native plants, while the soil on top of Parliament House is planted with lawn.
