Today the Turnbull government will ensure that the National Capital Authority is properly placed to uphold the Commonwealth's interest in our capital. The bill will enable the NCA to operate in a way that is more consistent with the government's expectations of a modern agency. The bill will also ensure that the NCA continues to operate efficiently and effectively in managing public assets in the planning of Canberra. I thank members for their contributions and commend the bill to the House.

Question agreed to.
