as it both prevented a clear view of the Main Building from Treloar Crescent due to the new gallery structures, and the absence of a Glazed Link meant the adjacent space would remain unoccupied by visitors. Option 4 shrouded a greater extent of the Main Building with the entry pavilion located to the west, although the link gallery between the western entry pavilion and the Main Building was below the lower level of the Main Building so the majority of the Main Building remained visible in-the-round.

   For the three options that included the Glazed Link, the intent was that the viewing in-the-round requirement would be met as the Main Building would be able to be viewed through the glazed walls from a distance, while benefiting from the immediate adjacent space being occupied by the public.

        * Parliament House View

   All four options had minimal impact on the front of the Main Building; however, there were differing impacts from the south closer to the Memorial. Option 4 included a western entry pavilion, however due to the fall of the land this would not have been visible until a person was on the Main Building forecourt however, it did add to the built form along the line of the front of the Main Building.

        * Mount Ainslie Views

   Option 2 will have the most significant impact on the Mount Ainslie views as it creates a ring of buildings along Treloar Crescent.

 Anzac Hall was described in the Memorial's Heritage Management Plan (2011) as a 'modern, flexible exhibition hall of 3,000 square metres to display the AWM's collection of large technology objects'. The design itself was commended for the manner in which it retained views of the Main Memorial Building 'in the round' and its 'unobtrusive' nature which ensure it did not overwhelm the Main Memorial Building.

 The exhibitions in the hall consisted of four main areas with the first three opened to the public at the same time as the building itself: 'Striking by night', 'Sydney under attack', 'Our first naval victory', and 'The ANZAC Spirit'. These exhibitions were subsequently joined by the First World War aviation display 'Over the Western Front'.

 In 2005, after the installation and display of the first three highly regarded exhibitions and four years after its completion, ANZAC Hall received the RAIA's Sir Zelman Cowen Award for public buildings for design excellence.

 Anzac Hall was also included as part of the Memorial's formal heritage listings and noted for its contributions to
