there are four Representative Aboriginal Organisations (RAOs) with whom consultation should be undertaken for heritage related projects. These RAOs are:

      * Buru Ngunawal Aboriginal Corporation;

      * King Brown Tribal Group;

      * Mirrabei (formerly known as Little Gudgenby River Tribal Council); and

      * Ngarigo Currawong Clan.

 Consultation was recently undertaken with local Indigenous stakeholders in the preparation of this HMP.

    5.8   Future Proposals

    5.8.1  Gallery Masterplanning

 The Memorial is currently undertaking a range of masterplanning exercises to manage the range of pressures currently faced at the site and ensure the future needs of the organisation are able to be met within the operational and heritage constraints of the site. This includes the preparation of a site masterplan for the AWM as a whole, and a Gallery Masterplan which will address the continued growth in visitor numbers, changing methods of display and storytelling, increasing number of exhibitions required and future growth of the collection and its storage requirements.

 As noted elsewhere in this HMP, the National and Commonwealth Heritage values of the place, and the regulations of the EPBC Act, underpin decision making regarding such changes across the site.

      5.8.2  Site Development Plan Review

   The Site Development Plan Review 2017 (SDP) draws upon an earlier National Capital Plan Site Master Plan and was endorsed by the Memorial's Council as a strategic document providing the overall vision and guidance for future site developments. The SDP provides guidance for future planning and development at the Memorial, and functions alongside other management documents, including this Heritage Management Plan, to provide guidance for the site.

   The SDP provides 'Site Development Principles' to guide how the Memorial might address a range of functional and operational site issues such as circulation, security, lighting, orientation and signage and outdoor furniture. It also provides a preliminary analysis of possible future building development sites and guides the placement and design principles for new memorials (commemorative works) within the Memorial's landscape.

   The site has continued to develop in accordance with the SDP, to accommodate functional requirements and the on-going growth of the national collection, public programs, commemorative ceremonies, increased visitation and evolving community expectations for site amenity, security and accessibility.

      5.9   AWM Development Project

   As part of the Memorial's business development planning, it was granted funds from the Australian Government for the expansion of gallery spaces to improve and modernise the existing buildings and generally enhance visitor experience at the AWM. Major works to the AWM are due to commence both internally and externally as a series of projects, including:

        * removal and replacement of the current ANZAC Hall for additional gallery space;

        * new Glazed Link connection the main Memorial building to expanded gallery space to the north (the new ANZAC
