Shortly after this cabinet meeting ended, on Arthur's command, Hunter Steward began inviting various European architecture experts and started looking for a suitable site in the Sydney suburbs to build the new palace.
The new palace will serve as the permanent residence and royal palace of the Australian royal family, and its outward image represents the royal family's dignity and reputation.
Since Arthur was building a new palace, naturally he would not be stingy. The building's budget was an enormous 5 million pounds, with unlimited indigenous labour allowed.
The main objective of the palace construction was to strive for opulence but maintain a low profile, be original but solemn, imposing but thoroughly fortified, while ensuring the quality of construction. A significant number of indigenous workers were employed to speed up the construction process, without overburdening various other construction projects in Australia.
