          1. INTRODUCTION

       The Australian War Memorial (AWM) is currently developing the Australian War Memorial Heritage Register in conjunction with Australian War Memorial's existing collection management database (MICA). The Register is a list of places and place elements which have been identified as having Commonwealth Heritage value.

       Godden Mackay Logan (GML) has been engaged by the Australian War Memorial to undertake a cultural heritage assessment of the Australian War Memorial's two precincts at Campbell and Mitchell, for the heritage identification and assessment program of the AWM Commonwealth Heritage Register.

       The Campbell site is situated east of the city and lies at the foot of Mount Ainslie, including the National Memorial and Grounds. The Campbell precinct is bound by Limestone Avenue, Fairbairn Avenue and Treloar Crescent, Campbell (Figure 1.1).

       The Mitchell precinct is located in North Canberra and consists of three buildings including Annex A - Mitchell Conservation and Repository, Treloar B and Treloar C (Figure 1.2).The Mitchell property is situated on both sides of Vicars Street and is further bound by Lysaght and Callan Streets.

       This report collates and documents the results of the indigenous cultural heritage assessment conducted for the Australian War Memorial Campbell and Mitchell sites. The assessment included consultation with ACT Aboriginal community organisations, database and literature review and field survey of the subject areas. The report will assist with the Australian War Memorial's assessment for the development of the Commonwealth Heritage Register regarding indigenous heritage values.

       The report was commissioned by Godden Mackay Logan.
