to those who served, especially for those whose service lacked recognition and respect at the time.

The space at each memorial and the space of Anzac Parade is highly valued by the armed services community as a place for ceremony, commemoration and ritual, both personal and shared.

(Criterion (g))

Anzac Parade has outstanding heritage value because of special associations with those who served in the armed forces, those who died, and for their families.  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 because wars and military service have been key defining themes in Australia's history.

The Parade also has a special association with Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, as part of the Land Axis and broader city design.  The Canberra design is the Griffins' most important work.  The study area is a major part of the core of the design for Canberra, and is a key part of the design which has actually been realised, albeit in a modified form.  The Griffins are important figures in Australia's history for their role in designing the national capital.
