For the armed services community, Anzac Parade and the memorials are places of outstanding importance to them as a symbol of service, respect and recognition.  For service and ex-service personnel it is closely connected to their sense of identity.  This is encompassed by it being 'their place'.  It is a place in which they want to conduct ceremonies of remembrance and other activities that will reinforce community bonds.  For them and for families with service connections, specific memorials are a focus for grief.

Summary
Anzac Parade is valued by the Australian and Canberra communities for its strong and special associations for social, cultural, ceremonial and spiritual reasons and is therefore considered to meet the National Heritage threshold by having outstanding heritage value for the nation.

For the armed services community, Anzac Parade is highly valued for its strong and special associations for social, cultural, ceremonial and spiritual reasons and is therefore considered to meet the National Heritage threshold by having outstanding heritage value for the nation.

(h) the place has outstanding heritage value to the nation because of 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

Anzac Parade clearly has outstanding heritage value for the special association with those who served in the armed forces, those who died, and for their families.  The discussion under Criterion (g) above is also relevant to this criterion.  These associations can relate to particular memorials as well as the whole Parade, as places of national as well as personal commemoration.  This group of people is highly important in Australia's history.  Wars and military service have been key defining themes in Australia's history.

Anzac Parade is also associated with a number of designers, and such associations may meet this criterion.  In so far as every designer is associated with the thing he or she designs, it is not considered sufficient to regard this as a special association.  There must be an additional quality to the association.  The other dimension to the criterion is the importance of the person in Australia's history.

The following table presents an analysis of a range of designers, drawn from the history and a variety of other sources, with a potential special association with the study area.
