Australian War Memorial

The Australian War Memorial has a powerful presence at the head of Anzac Parade and has a very strong relationship to the Parade.  Anzac Parade forms part of the ceremonial space for major events held at the Australian War Memorial, such as the Anzac Day Veterans' March.  It is also part of the significant vistas to and from the Australian War Memorial.  As an organisation, the Australian War Memorial is keenly interested in Anzac Parade.

There is also a strong visitor experience link between the Parade and the AWM – for example veterans' groups may hold a ceremony at a specific memorial along the Parade and then move up to the AWM for other activities.  School groups also tend to start with the Parade and then afterwards visit the AWM.

There is a complementarity of commemorative activities between the Australian War Memorial and Anzac Parade, given the opportunity to place commemorative plaques and other features within the grounds of the AWM.  The grounds have become the location for many smaller commemorative features, as well as some larger features, while the Parade is generally the location for more substantial memorials.  One recent larger commemorative feature located in the AWM grounds is the National Service Memorial which was dedicated in 2010.

There have been connections between the public programs of the AWM and Anzac Parade in the past, although these have not continued.

Current or past issues have included:
     * pedestrian access between the AWM and Anzac Parade, and the need to cross the wide and reasonably busy Fairbairn and Limestone Avenues.  The pedestrian lights create a bottleneck;
     * some variability in maintenance standards for the Parade over time, especially compared to the AWM;
     * a past proposal for new First World War and Second World War memorials in Anzac Parade;
     * the design of traffic infrastructure in Anzac Parade;
     * development of Section 5, Campbell, adjacent to the study area;  and
     * provision of visitor facilities in Anzac Parade, especially toilets.

In an inquiry about National Memorials, the AWM made the following general recommendation regarding Anzac Parade,

    'The Australian War Memorial would welcome being consulted and its advice sought for any device being contemplated along and beyond the ANZAC Parade axis.'  (Australian War Memorial submission to the Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories Inquiry into the administration of the National Memorials Ordinance 1928, September 2011)

Moral rights holders

There are a range of architects, landscape architects, artists and possibly other designers who may hold moral rights over Anzac Parade overall or specific parts of it.

The full list of potential moral rights holders has not been researched, in particular regarding the
