give expression to the visual geometry, built form, landscape and cultural vitality of the 1918 Griffin Plan
 3.        recognising that some elements (for example, the Australian War Memorial and Parliament House) are successful reinterpretations of the 1918 Griffin Plan which are consistent with and strengthen the framework and spirit of the Plan.
2. Building on the Griffins' vision by:
 1.        maintaining the 1918 Griffin Plan as the primary organising framework of the city's urban form, landscape and symbolism
 2.       fostering Canberra's unique sense of place that has evolved from the Griffins' planning principles
 3.        maintaining the Garden City and City Beautiful values which underpin Canberra's quality of life
 4.       continuing to give expression to the principles of the 1918 Griffin Plan – its visual geometry, built form, landscape spaces and cultural vitality – in order to maintain its integrity as a work of cultural significance which is internationally recognised
 5.        continuing to reinforce and, where possible, express the integrity of the Griffins' visual structure by strengthening the geometry and form of Main Avenues, vistas and public spaces
 6.         refocusing the symbolic framework of the 1918 Griffin Plan by consolidating development of national symbols and spaces for commemoration and celebration on the land and water axes, and within the National Triangle
 7.        maintaining the geometry and where practicable the fine‑grain pattern of the streets and blocks of the 1918 Griffin Plan
 8.       strengthening the landscape framework from the natural setting of the hills, water courses and parks to the character of its streets as generously‑scaled corridors for formal plantings of broad‑canopy trees
 9.          maintaining the metropolitan structure principles of Canberra's planning legacy of environmentally balanced urban extensions: design with nature; undeveloped hills and valleys; landscape containment and greenbelts; low traffic congestion; long‑term public transport reservations; provision for walking and cycling; and protection of the Central National Area
10.          maintaining a mix of tree species which enriches the landscape by providing beauty, shade, shelter and wildlife habitats and enhances the built environment.
3. Revitalise the vision with growth in the Central National Area by:
 1.        reinstating the Griffins' intended unity between the Central National Area, its setting and the everyday life of the city
 2.       delivering the richness and vitality of the Griffins' vision by ensuring that City and surrounding neighbourhood precincts are strongly connected with the Central National Area, especially with Lake Burley Griffin and its surrounding parks
 3.        accommodating growth in Canberra Central to contribute to a compact, sustainable city that fosters a healthy community, and offers: increased housing, employment and recreation choices; ease of movement; integrated transport and land‑use; and respect for the natural environment
 4.       developing the central areas of Canberra, such as City and Constitution Avenue, to
