The NCA will develop and implement monitoring for the landscape.  Monitoring will particularly consider:
                * the impact of any dry/drought conditions;  and
                * progress of ageing of trees and shrubs.

           20.2 Mechanisms will be put in place to ensure timely reporting by maintenance contractors to a coordinating officer with overall responsibility for the maintenance of the Parade.

    Built Elements

The policies in this section apply to the constructed or built elements within the Parade, although not the broad landscape or soft landscape elements.  A separate section above deals with these latter elements.  Refer also to the policy section below on new development.

Policy 21 Conservation of Memorials
       Existing memorials will be conserved, subject to any management planning which may be specifically developed for memorials.  (Refer to Policy 40 in the case of new memorials.)  Memorials have significant associations with specific groups of people, and these associations will need to be documented, respected, and the significance understood as part of future management planning.

       The character of memorials may be changed or supplemented if desired by the relevant associated groups and/or communities.  Such change should be undertaken with due respect to the individual significance of the particular memorial, and otherwise be consistent with this heritage management plan.  Any changes should be undertaken as part of a planned long-term approach, and ad hoc changes should be avoided.

       Commentary

       There are currently 13 memorials in Anzac Parade which are all approved National Memorials under the National Memorials Ordinance 1928.

       There may be some value in detailed conservation management planning being undertaken for each of the memorials, especially if changes are proposed.  Any such changes would require approval under the National Memorials Ordinance 1928 and the EPBC Act.  Over time, a few of the memorials have been changed, such as the RAAF Memorial.

       Refer to the landscape policies above regarding individual memorials.

       Implementation Strategies

           21.1 Specialist materials conservators should continue to be used as needed to assist with the conservation of individual memorials.

           21.2 The NCA should address the range of issues with built aspects of specific memorials.

           Commentary:  These issues are:
                 * Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial – minor damage to concrete ramp wall, broken granite paver;
                 * Desert Mounted Corps Memorial – cracked, loose and missing slate pavers, rear drain blocked with leaf litter;
                 * Boer War Memorial – minor cracking to the concrete paving;
                 * New Zealand Memorial – recessed light pits cleaned out;  and
                 * Australian Service Nurses National Memorial – pavement heaving, trip hazards, joint sealant deteriorated.

           In the case of the Royal Australian Navy Memorial, there is an issue with undertaking maintenance and repair in the enclosed and confined pump room.  It seems possible that the pump equipment could
