AWM, is its National Heritage values as a National Heritage place. A person must not take an action that has, will have, or is likely to have, a significant impact on a MNES without approval from the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment.

      Commonwealth Heritage Place—Other Matters Protected by the EPBC Act

 The CHL recognises places of Commonwealth Heritage value that are owned or controlled by the Commonwealth Government. The AWM is entered in the CHL and is also within the Commonwealth Heritage listing of the Parliament House Vista, and the requirements of the EPBC Act, outlined in brief above, therefore apply. The provisions of the EPBC Act protect all environments on Commonwealth land, including heritage under the definition of the 'environment' noted above.

      The Parliament House Vista and Anzac Parade

 As noted previously, the Parliament House Vista is a Commonwealth Heritage place that includes many places of individual heritage significance, including the AWM.3 It covers three separate parts of the Central National Area including the Parliamentary Zone, Anzac Parade and Constitution Avenue and Lake Burley Griffin and Foreshores, all of which are subject to detailed conditions of the NCP.

 A HMP for the Parliament House Vista has been prepared for the NCA and the key policies that relate to the AWM are as follows:

    Policy 28 Major Buildings

    Key qualities of the AWM to be conserved include its:

         * landmark qualities;

         * siting;

         * contribution to the principal vista to and from Old Parliament House;

         * relative visual isolation;

         * symmetry of the building as seen from the Land Axis;

         * external form; and

         * conceptual as well as planning and landscape link between the AWM and Anzac Parade.4

 The AWM is a key element of the Parliament House Vista and this gives rise to the need to consider the broader context and setting of all proposals or management decisions affecting the AWM.

   Anzac Parade is part of the Australian War Memorial and Memorial Parade National Heritage place and the Parliament House Vista Commonwealth Heritage place. Anzac Parade is owned and controlled by the NCA. As noted previously, this HMP does not cover the Anzac Parade portion of the National Heritage Place.

   The HMP for Anzac Parade prepared for the NCA should be considered alongside this HMP where necessary. Key policies that relate to the AWM are:

      Policy 6 Integrated management of components

      The NCA will seek to achieve integrated management between the Parade and the Australian War Memorial, to ensure a more consistent approach to management and commemoration, and engagement with and support for the armed services community.
