urban planning with its objectives of beauty and monumental grandeur through the use of such features as axes, vistas, wide boulevards (ie. Commonwealth and Kings Avenues, actually outside the area), spacious parks and large graceful public buildings. In addition, there are Garden City influences such as the landscaped, low density development with tree-lined streets, parkways, parks and gardens.

 Criterion (g) Social Values— the place's strong or special associations with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.
 Official Statement of Heritage Value                                                                                                                                           The AWM is the national war museum and national shrine, and together with Anzac Park, has special associations for the Australian community, particularly veterans and their families. These special associations are reinforced on ANZAC Day and at ceremonies specific to particular memorials on Anzac Parade. The AWM and the Anzac Parade memorials are the nation's major focal point for commemoration including the ANZAC Day march and other ceremonies and events. These values are expressed through: the AWM building (including the Hall of Memory); the collection; the surrounding landscape (including the Sculpture Garden); and Anzac Parade including the memorials.

 Suggested Revision                                                                                                                                                             No revisions are suggested.

    Criterion (h) Significant People— the place's special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in Australia's natural or cultural history.

 Official Statement of Heritage Value  The AWM building and the Anzac Parade memorials have special associations with Australia's military forces and veterans represented by the Returned & Services League of Australia.
                                       The AWM's success as a shrine, a museum, an architectural form and part of Canberra's urban plan is partly the result of its special associations with the lives and works of people who have been significant in Australia's history. These include the AWM's founders Charles Bean, John Treloar and Sir Henry Gullett.

                     The values are expressed in the fabric of the place which includes: the main building; the Hall of Memory; the collections; the surrounding landscape; and Anzac Parade.
 Commentary          The NHL statement provides and accurate evaluation against criterion (h).
 Suggested Revision  No revision required.

 Suggested Revision                    No revision required as the AWM does not meet the
