           In the case of the Royal Australian Navy Memorial, there is an issue with undertaking maintenance and repair in the enclosed and confined pump room.  It seems possible that the pump equipment could be relocated into a small above-ground enclosure or new sub-surface pit enclosure with a large openable lid, sensitively located in the surrounds of the memorial.  The quality of the finish of any new facility should be carefully considered, especially if it is above-ground.

Policy 22 Minor structural features
       The NCA will conserve the minor structural features in Anzac Parade that contribute to the overall heritage values of the place.

       Commentary: Such features include the raised planter bed walls in the median, and other retaining walls.

Policy 23 Paths and paving
       The red crushed brick gravel paved median will be conserved, and this should be consistent with the treatment of the Australian War Memorial's parade ground.

       Other paths and paved areas may generally be conserved or upgraded if desired.  However, care will be taken if paths are widened or extended to maintain the balance of soft and hard landscaping (see Policy 45 regarding new paths or paving).  In addition, careful consideration will be given to the palette of finishes for paths and paving including:
            * the desirability of a consistent approach throughout Anzac Parade;
            * a sympathetic selection given the character of the landscaping in the vicinity of the paths or paving;  and
            * any hierarchy of paths.

Policy 24 Roads
       Generally, conserve the form and character of roads within the study area, including any upgrading of the road pavement that may be needed.

       Every effort will be made to minimise the number of traffic lights in the Parade.

       Implementation Strategies

           24.1 The NCA should explore options to change the kerbing or ways to overcome the access barrier for commemorative activities presented by the kerbing.

           Commentary:  Stakeholders have expressed an interest in possibly changing the kerbing to overcome the barrier presented to access.

Policy 25 Car and bus parking
       Drop-off and short term parking along Anzac Parade may continue, but medium and long term parking will not be permitted.

       Implementation Strategies

           25.1 All major events will have a traffic management/carparking plan including consideration of:
                * the need for barriers to protect fragile areas;
                * the need for on-ground traffic wardens;  and
                * overflow arrangements.

           Commentary:  As part of managing events in Canberra, the NCA has defined the range of possible events, including major events.

           'A major event is an organised gathering involving a significant number of people (generally more than 5,000) that requires a specific venue and has significant associated structures and involves changes to normal traffic and parking conditions.  Major
