side of Anzac Parade under the auspices of the NCDC and the National Capital Authority. Anzac Parade is the major national venue for the Anzac Day march and other ceremonies to commemorate those who served Australia in times of war. The AWM is one of the termini of the Remembrance Driveway from Sydney to Canberra initiated by Queen Elizabeth in 1954.
Condition and Integrity:
Integrity

AWM: The design of the building, galleries and displays has evolved over a long period of time, while the overall form of the building has generally not changed. The 1968-71 extension of the transepts is in sympathy with this form. The interior spaces including the galleries have been much altered over the years and the original skylights were modified and then closed.
The essential and integrated relationship of the relics, records and memorial spaces, which was part of the early conception for the AWM, remains strongly expressed. Refer to the description and history for further details of the changes.

Anzac Hall: As erected.

Condition
AWM: The building is currently in fair to good condition. The conservation management plan (Pearson and Crocket 1995) for Bligh Voller Nield identified several problem areas. Cracks in the masonry and concrete construction appeared before the building's completion and these have continued. Over time, cracking has affected the backgrounds for dioramas

(subsequently repaired or replaced) and the Hall of Memory where it is a continuing conservation concern. The building has also suffered stonework deterioration and water leaks. Much of the damage has been restored since 1995. The conservation management plan now requires updating.

ANZAC Hall: The building is in good condition.

Anzac Parade: Refer to National Capital Authority web site and studies.
