oversees the implementation of the documentation.

 However, all groups of the Memorial including Public Programs, National Collection and Corporate Services, should adopt the policies and decision-making processes of the HMP and develop an understanding of the AWM's heritage values.

      6.2   Key Objective of the General Conservation Policy

   Schedules 5A and 7A of the EPBC Regulations item (a) requires that government 'establish objectives for the identification, protection, conservation, presentation and transmission of the National/Commonwealth Heritage values of the place'. This HMP has been prepared to manage the National and Commonwealth Heritage values of the AWM, and those values identified through the heritage values commentary in Section 4.0. The key objective of this conservation policy is to ensure the conservation, management and interpretation of these heritage values of the AWM in the context of its ongoing use, development and evolution as the place of the National Shrine, an integral part of the symbolic landscape of the National Capital, and one of Australia's most significant cultural sites.

        AWM Development Project

   The AWM development project (discussed at Sections 2.5 and 5.9) has been approved under the EPBC Act with conditions, and has been subject to rigorous consideration of the impacts of the proposed action and the heritage values of the site. The project is required to be undertaken in accordance with its approval conditions, which provide a framework for management of heritage impacts specifically associated with the development project. The conditions provide guidance for the conservation and management of the Memorial's heritage values while undertaking the project. The full conditions for the project are included at Appendix K.

   In instances where the approval conditions do not cover conservation or management issues associated with the development, the policies below should be used to guide decision-making. Actions on the site which are separate to the development project should continue to be managed in accordance with this section of the HMP.
