The question seeks information regarding premises which are rented or leased by the Parliament, but to give a more complete picture, the information in the following table also includes premises which are owned, excluding Parliament House itself.
The figures in relation to 1110 Hay Street have been provided to me by the Legislative Council as a courtesy.

The facilities occupied by the staff of the Leader of the Opposition (the “Summer Palace”) are owned by the Government but the Parliament provides cleaning services as part of a larger contract. The cost break-up attributable specifically to that building is not readily identifiable. Those premises are not included in the table.
