is an exposed environment.  The eucalypts provide some shelter from cross winds.  However, in summer it experiences extreme temperatures being affected by hot summer drying northerly winds.  In winter it is exposed to cold winds which blow from the southern alpine regions, and the area is exposed to frost.

Aesthetically, the pavement provides the necessary setting and visual cues such as colour, repetition, structure, order and practicality for the purpose for which it exists.  However, as an environment in which to grow plants successfully, it is now becoming very challenging.

Memorials

Over time the NCA has commissioned condition assessments of the various memorials, and these are generally provided as individual reports.  The details in these reports have not been considered in the preparation of this heritage management plan because the plan does not address the memorials in detail.

None the less, a number of observation were made during the course of preparing this plan about the condition of some of memorials:
      * Australian National Korean War Memorial – some dead plants/shrubs;
      * Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial – minor damage to concrete ramp wall, broken granite paver;
      * Desert Mounted Corps Memorial – cracked, loose and missing slate pavers, rear drain blocked with leaf litter;
      * Boer War Memorial – minor cracking to the concrete paving;
      * New Zealand Memorial – in need of a minor tidy-up, removal of some weeds, and the recessed light pits cleaned out;
      * Australian Service Nurses National Memorial – pavement heaving, trip hazards, joint sealant deteriorated, dead shrubs;
      * Royal Australian Navy Memorial – rear screen plantings patchy/in poor condition;  and
      * Kemal Ataturk Memorial – landscape plantings are patchy.

Boundary of the place

The current National Heritage place boundary stops at Constitution Avenue.  However, this excludes a section of Anzac Parade between the avenue and Parkes Way.  There is an arguable case that this short section should be included in the listed place, even if it is not used for the location of memorials.  It is part of Anzac Parade, and shares many of the same values as the remainder of the Parade.  Similarly, the street verges in Anzac Park East and West might also be included.  There is also an argument that Mount Ainslie should be part of the overall National Heritage listed place.

    8.6 Issues Related to the Broader Setting

There are several other issues relating to the broader setting of Anzac Parade.  The broader setting is important to the values of the study area.

The National Capital Plan anticipates substantial change and development along Constitution Avenue, including between the avenue and Parkes Way.  As noted above, the nature of the Constitution Avenue roadway is expected to change as it becomes
