consultation regarding the management and development of adjacent lands to protect the values of Anzac Parade, in particular including with the Australian War Memorial.

    Significant Associations

Policy 12 Retaining significant associations
       The NCA will respect and foster the retention of significant associations between the armed services community and Anzac Parade, and with its individual memorials.  This includes the sense of custodianship felt by this community.

       It should be noted these associations may continue to evolve and change over time.

       Commentary:  These associations are described in the statement of significance (Section 7.1).  See also Policies 6, 8, 11 and 34.

    Landscape

The policies in this section apply to the landscape of the Parade, including the designed landscapes for specific memorials.  Policies relating to the surrounding landscape are provided in the section below on the setting.  Refer also to the policy section on new development.

Policy 13 Conservation of the landscape
       The overall Anzac Parade landscape character will be conserved.

       General qualities of the Parade to be conserved, related to the significant broader landscape, include:
            * the underlying geometry and symmetry of the Land Axis, reinforced by the plantings, memorials, hard landscaping and road system;
            * the sweeping vistas along the Land Axis – especially in both directions to Old and new Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial.  The central part of the Land Axis corridor will be kept spatially open and free of structures, trees, visual or other impediments.  The large scale of these views will be conserved;  and
            * the character of the treescape.  The general aim will be to maintain tree plantings to continue an evergreen framework.

       The following specific landscape features of Anzac Parade will also be conserved:
            * respect and conserve associations;
            * conserve the general form and character of the Parade;
            * conserve the mass tree planting of eucalypts in rows, to retain the character of the tall, dense bank of evergreen native foliage;
            * conserve the use of the crushed red brick paving;
            * conserve the mass shrub beds planted with Hebe species;
            * conserve and continue the use of regularly spaced landscape 'rooms' for the location of memorials;  and
            * future memorials or changes to existing memorials will be wholly contained within the landscape rooms.

       The designed landscapes for specific memorials will be conserved.

       Commentary

       Refer to the boundary definition of the Land Axis corridor in Section 1.1.  The zone to be kept open is between the rows of trees either side of Anzac Parade.

       The designed landscapes for specific memorials have not been studied as part of this heritage management plan.  They should be considered as part of detailed planning for each memorial.
