of the landscape of an existing memorial.

Policy 39 New buildings or structures
       In general, new buildings or structures will not be permitted unless part of a proposed memorial.

       The exception is the possible provision of new toilet facilities within the Anzac Parade area.  Such facilities will be of a high quality design and materials consistent with the Parade, be single storey, as small as possible and be unobtrusive (eg. finished in muted colours) from within the central section of the Parade.  Such facilities may only be sited towards the outer edges of the boundaries of the place and at the northeast end where the area of landscape and trees is wider.

       Commentary:  See Policy 38 regarding landscape structures.  There is a need for public amenities in the Parade area for those attending commemorative events, and for other visitors (eg. toilets, water points), although there are no current proposals.

       Implementation Strategies

           39.1 The NCA should explore the possibility of enhanced public amenities within the Parade.  Ideally, this should be undertaken with the Australian War Memorial, with such amenities being considered as part of masterplanning for both the Parade and AWM as one venue.

Policy 40 New memorials
       New memorials may be installed in the existing vacant landscape rooms.

       Planning should be undertaken to anticipate the possibility of future additional memorials beyond the current capacity of Anzac Parade.

       Memorials should be contained within the landscape rooms, and should not extend beyond, including beyond the footpath line.

       Commentary

       Two memorial locations remain unallocated.

       As noted above, proposals for landscaping associated with new memorials should be encouraged to use native grasses.

       With regard to future additional memorials beyond the current capacity:
            * this may require consideration of potential sites outside of Anzac Parade;
            * this should involve consultations with the Australian War Memorial, armed services community and probably other stakeholders as well;
            * including more memorial locations within Anzac Parade, similar to the existing, is not desirable in terms of the design values of the place, although some stakeholders may be in favour.  However, other forms of memorials, or smaller memorials may be possible.  It may also be possible to consider reserving the two remaining vacant memorial niches to house many smaller memorials rather than just large single memorials;  and
            * the park/plantation areas in front of Anzac Park East and West facing the Parade may be considered suitable locations, however, this will conflict with the sense of the New Zealand Memorial being the formal start of the memorial parade.

Policy 41 New parking
       No new surface or above ground parking will be permitted within Anzac Parade.

Policy 42 Temporary changes
       Temporary changes of short duration may be permitted subject to the range
