Spaces were made available for future memorials, and the first memorial was the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial.

National Capital Planning Authority (NCPA) 1989–1997

In 1989 the National Capital Development Commission was replaced by the National Capital Planning Authority.

This period represents a change in responsibility for areas within the National Capital, the formation of the Australian Capital Territory Government responsible for Canberra and largely independent from the Commonwealth Government, and the establishment of the National Capital Planning Authority in early 1989 which was focussed on the significant core of the National Capital.  This core was the defined Central National Area with its character expressed as a cultural landscape, and there was an objective of enhancing the character of Canberra as the National Capital.

As such, the planning process was a continuation of the NCDC approach.  This involved enhancement through the implementation of projects falling within the Parliamentary Zone, as opposed to planning visions attempting to redefine the former Griffins' Municipal Axis from Mount Vernon (Civic) to Mount Pleasant (Russell), and attempting to establish links from Constitution Avenue to the parkland edge of the lake.  New visions for Anzac Parade were also explored.

National Capital Authority (NCA) period 1997–present
This period is represented by a name change with the dropping of 'Planning' from the Authority's title, with a greater focus on the Parliamentary Zone, and with a determination to make it a place for people relative to national identity.

The NCA has initiated a series of studies, conservation management plans and publications, and implemented works including the Anzac Parade upgrade in 2001.  The upgrade was largely concerned with the installation of new street lighting to the design of Barry Webb and Alexander Tzannes & Associates, as consultants to the NCA.  Also in this period additional buildings to the north of the Australian War Memorial complex were constructed by the Australian War Memorial.
