of the area, prior to consideration of the heritage significance of the place in the following chapters.  It provides a general overview impression about condition as assessed by the consultants.  Section 8.5 provides an analysis of condition and integrity related to the actual significance of the place.

The condition of Anzac Parade is generally fair to good, with the area being reasonably well maintained.  The trees are in fair to good condition overall, with a small number being in fair/poor or poor condition.  The understorey of native grasses is in variable condition, being poor where the tree canopy is heavy and competition is high.  More detail about the trees and grasses can be found in Section 8.5.

The Hebe plants 'Otari Delight' which were planted in 2011-12 to replace earlier plantings have failed to thrive because of several soil-borne diseases and other contributing factors.

A general issue with a number of the memorials on the eastern side of the Parade is the transparency of the landscape behind the memorials, allowing clear views of the adjacent single storey residential and especially the multi-storey buildings.  Such views distract from the memorials, and arise either because of weaknesses in the eucalypt plantation or other specific screen plantings associated with memorials.  This is an issue for the following memorials: New Zealand Memorial – eastern part, Australian Peacekeeping Memorial, Rats of Tobruk Memorial and Royal Australian Navy Memorial.

Other general issues include:
      * deterioration of bronze memorial identification signs;
      * timber seat paintwork deteriorated;
      * irrigated grass is patchy in places;
      * mulch cover is thin in places;  and
      * concrete joints sealant deteriorated.

The condition of the individual memorials has not been assessed or addressed in detail as part of this plan.  None the less, a number of observations were made as part of the general inspections of the place.  These observations are as follows:
      * Australian National Korean War Memorial – some dead plants/shrubs;
      * 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 – in need of a minor tidy-up, removal of some weeds, and the recessed light pits cleaned out;
      * Australian Service Nurses National Memorial – pavement heaving, trip hazards, joint sealant deteriorated, dead shrubs;
      * Royal Australian Navy Memorial – rear screen plantings patchy/in poor condition;  and
      * Kemal Ataturk Memorial – landscape plantings are patchy.
