of the NCDC are closely associated with the extensive range of major developments undertaken in the period.  These include: the lake, Y-Plan, four new towns and associated residential areas, Russell Hill Defence Offices, Anzac Parade and memorials, planning for diplomatic missions, National Library of Australia, High Court of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, Questacon (National Science and Technology Centre), and the National Capital Open Space System.

Arguably the NCDC period was the second major phase of Canberra's development.  (http://www.nationalcapital.gov.au/corporate/history/05_1958-1989.asp, site inactive 4 August 2022)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   However, there is no evidence to suggest a special association in this case.  The association with one NCDC staff member, Richard Clough, is considered above.

Summary
Based on the analysis above, Anzac Parade meets this criterion for the special associations with:
     * those who served in the armed forces, those who died, and for their families;  and
     * with Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, as part of the Land Axis and broader city design.

The Parade may also have a special association with Richard Clough which meets this criterion, though further research is needed to better understand his importance in Australia's history.

(i) the place has outstanding heritage value to the nation because of the place's importance as part of indigenous tradition

There is no apparent value under this criterion, based on existing statutory heritage listings.
