Upper House, Melbourne, Government building in Melbourne, Australia
The Legislative Council chamber features red decor elements throughout its interior, reflecting its connection to traditional British parliamentary design principles.
The Victorian Legislative Council first assembled in November 1851 at St Patrick's Hall before relocating to Parliament House in 1856.
The Legislative Council functions as a review chamber with 40 members representing eight electoral regions across Victoria.
Members of the Legislative Council are elected for four-year terms using a single transferable vote system implemented following the 2003 electoral reforms.
The Council maintains independent control from the lower house, allowing different political parties to hold majority even when another party forms government.
