the National, Commonwealth and additional identified heritage values of the AWM. They outline approaches to the conservation, maintenance, and monitoring of the heritage values.

      * The EPBC Act requires that a self-assessment process be established to make decisions about the potential for significant adverse impact on the heritage values. Appendix A, the decision- making framework, and Appendix B, the assessment form, will assist the Memorial in making decisions about impacts on heritage values and in documenting this process.

    Guidance for Future Development

      * The HMP provides a framework to conserve, protect and manage the heritage values of the AWM. Through this framework, it provides heritage guidance for decision-making on forward planning, design development and future developments at the AWM.

      * The HMP, best heritage practice and compliance with the obligation of the EPBC Act must be followed when planning and implementing any new work or major projects including the implementation of the Site Development Plan and expansions associated with new gallery space.

      * Understanding of the National and Commonwealth Heritage values of the place, and its primary purpose as a National Shrine, needs to underpin decision making regarding the potential for future development.

      * The HMP establishes the need for any development on the site to be assessed in terms of its potential to impact upon, or positively contribute to, the heritage values of the AWM, the Parliament House Vista and Griffin Land Axis.

      * The HMP policies are intended to provide guidance for design development of any new works at the AWM as well as the need for consultation with key stakeholders and specific approvals under the EPBC Act and National Capital Plan.

    Guidance for Stakeholder Consultation

      * The Memorial should consult widely when proposing changes with the potential to impact on the heritage values of the place, given it has National Heritage value and cultural significance.

      * The Memorial should utilise a variety of communication and marketing channels to communicate and engage with stakeholder groups.

      Guidance for Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting

        * The Memorial should monitor and re-evaluate the condition of the place's heritage values as part of the review of the HMP at five years or on completion of major works such as the development project. Monitoring will need to be undertaken on an annual basis to demonstrate the implementation of the HMP and to identify trends and refine management techniques accordingly.

      Guidance for Interpretation of the Heritage Values

        * The HMP recommends the preparation of an Interpretation Plan which develops approaches to presenting and conveying the heritage values of the place to the broader public.

        * The Memorial should use a range of media to interpret the heritage values of the place, including online material, published
