The Routine of Business in the Legislative Assembly is conducted according to Standing Order 97, which was last amended on 17 January 2022. The Sessional Order sets out a timetable for the order of business to be considered by the House over three consecutive week days. Government Business is conducted on every sitting day, and General Business is considered on sitting Thursdays.
The Legislative Assembly also sometimes sits on a Friday. The Routine of Business for Friday sitting days is set out in a resolution of the House, passed on 26 March 2025.
You can access copies of the standard sitting day schedule, and the supplementary Friday sitting day schedule, here:
