November 7, 1911: Federal Parliament selects the site for the Royal Australian Navalย College
CANBERRA, ACT. โ On November 7, 1911, the Federal Parliament selected Captainโs Point, Jervis Bay, as the site of the future Royal Australian Naval College. As the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) was inland, it was determined that the national seat of government needed access to the ocean, so the Jervis Bay Territory was surrendered by New South Wales to the Commonwealth in 1915 under the โJervis Bay Territory Acceptance Act 1915."
