Government House is the official residence of the Governor of Queensland. The Governor of Queensland is the representative of Queen Elizabeth II in Queensland, and therefore the Head of State of Queensland. It is to Government House that the Premier travels when he or she wishes to request from the Governor a dissolution of Parliament and the calling of a General Election.
