We will mark the centenary of the Federal Capital Commission’s contribution to building the affectionally called FCC-houses in the suburbs of Ainslie, Reid, Braddon, Barton, Forrest, Kingston and Griffith.
The FCC under the leadership of John Sulman (later knighted) had a herculean task to prepare for the transfer of 1,100 Australian public service officers and their families to Australia’s new national capital city in a short space of time.
