sacrifice, service and valour occur north of Lake Burley Griffin, including:

        * Anzac Parade—memorials that commemorate Australian Defence Force service in all wars or warlike operations;

        * the AWM—commemoration related to the service and sacrifice of Australians in war-like operations or in peace keeping;

        * Russell Precinct—commemoration related to the contribution of Defence personnel (individual or collective) to unique military operations or to international Defence treaties and alliances; and

      * Australian Defence Force Academy and Royal Military College, Duntroon—commemoration honouring graduates, staff or those who have played a significant role in the development of the institution, in defence education and training, or in theatres of war.

 All commemorative installations at the AWM, including memorials, plaques and plantings, are associated with the national significance of the place. In planning for the installation of new memorials, including the proposed memorial to national service, the Memorial implements extensive stakeholder consultation with veteran and other community groups, as well as the required heritage authorities and the NCA.

 The Memorial is responsible for the AWM but not Anzac Parade, which is managed by the NCA. While the Memorial requires works approval from the NCA for commemorative works on the AWM, apart from undertaking relevant stakeholder consultation, there is no requirement to make a formal referral to the Canberra National Memorials Committee for commemorative installations on the AWM site.

    5.3   Conservation and Condition Monitoring

    5.3.1  Monitoring Heritage Values

 The Memorial has a set routine to ensure the regular monitoring of the condition of the facilities and collection. The Memorial has a schedule and system of inspections that is carried out by various sections. For example:

      * All plant rooms are inspected by Buildings and Services staff on a monthly basis. These inspections are to check for potential issues such as cracks, weeps, leaks, and vermin.

      * A crack monitoring program has been underway for many years. Due to the stable condition of existing building cracks, this has been extended to carrying out inspections every 5 years.

      * All Visitor Services staff are required to monitor building and collection condition for damage or degradation. They prepare reports that are sent to Security for processing by the appropriate section or area of the Memorial.

      * Security is required to monitor the condition of the buildings, grounds and collection during their routine area patrols and report to the Memorial on a case by case basis.

    5.3.2  Approvals

 The Memorial has a staged approach to undertaking works with all new work and maintenance activities, including those of a minor, medium or significant scale, requiring the preparation of a heritage impact assessment as part of the approval process. The following provides a summary of the approval process for different scales of
