in the ACT, and the views of each group were sought as part of a consultation process related to the earlier version of the conservation management plan, which touched on a range of heritage and planning issues within the Parliamentary Zone.[89]  These groups are the Buru Ngunnawal Aboriginal Corporation, King Browns Tribal Group, Little Gudgenby River Tribal Council and Ngarigu Currawong Clan.

There have been no reported Aboriginal sites located within the area managed by the National Library of Australia, and no undeveloped land exists within the National Library of Australia leased area.  In previous discussions about planning for the National Library of Australia, and High Court and National Gallery Precinct areas, community representatives stressed that the land flanking the Molonglo River was an important resource to Kamberri/Ngunnawal people, the stories associated with that pre-Canberra land use should be respected, and reflected in the design of developments and interpretation within the Parliamentary Zone.

All groups stressed the need to commit to a process of consultation with the Kamberri/Ngunnawal community as and when developments within the precinct of Parliamentary Zone generally were being planned.  Too often consultation happened too late for Indigenous views to be heard and for their ideas to be considered in the design stage of projects.

    ACT Heritage Council

While it has no legislative role in the management of the Parliamentary Zone as noted in the previous section, the ACT Heritage Council has an overall interest in the heritage of the ACT, and hence in the National Library of Australia as a heritage place.

    Australian Institute of Architects

The Institute is a professional non-government organisation concerned with architectural matters.  Through various parts of the Institute, it has demonstrated its interest in the Parliamentary Zone, especially the architectural features.  The ACT Chapter of the Institute has identified the National Library of Australia as a building of architectural interest, though not yet listed it in its Register of Significant Architecture.

Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA)

AILA is the peak body for Landscape Architects in Australia.  The ACT Chapter of AILA has identified the landscape setting surrounding the National Library of Australia, managed by the National Capital Authority, as having an integral contribution to the overall heritage character of the building.

    National Trust of Australia (ACT)

The National Trust is a community based heritage conservation organisation.  It maintains a register of heritage places, and one of its main roles is as an advocate for heritage conservation.  Listing on the Trust's register carries no statutory power, though the Trust is an effective public advocate in the cause of heritage and calls on substantial community support.

The Trust has registered the National Library of Australia as a building within the Parliamentary Zone,
