an emergency and functional entrance to the rear.

 Option 3

       * This option was not selected. Whilst it had minimal above ground impact, it did not meet the brief for several reasons:

              to achieve connectivity to the Main Building and be functional for the Memorial to operate there was a requirement to have connections at a number of places to the lower level of the Main Building. This posed a risk to the fabric of the lower level of the Main Building;

              the option created a parallel path to the Main Building to the east which would have moved the geographic centre and drawn visitors away from the Commemorative Area and created a potentially confusing wayfinding approach; and

                was significantly more expensive than the other options.

   Option 4

        * This option was not selected as the Memorial Council had a major concern with the entry pavilion in the western courtyard. Whilst the entry pavilion could not be seen from the Parliament House Vista due to the earth berm to the west of the Parade Ground, the Council was concerned with the disruption to the southern area of the Memorial and western garden. They considered this had a major impact on Objective 1—Maintain the Memorial's National Significance and agreed that this option should not be considered. The additional technical concerns were that the design:

                created an east-west journey that conflicted with the Main Building north-south visitor journey and would therefore have created a confusing visitor path;

                the new entrance pavilion was a considerable distance from the traditional entrance and provided no opportunity to integrate the two entrances; and

                as less than 50% of visitors currently visit Anzac Hall, the additional southern galleries would have focussed more visitors away from Anzac Hall reducing the value of that asset.

       2.5.4  Design Development

   On 3 July 2018 the Memorial's Council decided Option 1 was to be developed to submit to Government, acknowledging that this was not the final design but rather indicated the broad project components and outcomes to deliver the Project. Option 1 included the following key locations of additional space:

        * second entrance: south underground (now to be described as "New Southern Entrance", as the existing entrance to the south of the upper level of the Main Building will remain);

        * new gallery space: north underground (now to be described as "New Anzac Hall", as the existing Anzac Hall will be replaced);

        * glazed link: between new gallery space and rear of Main Building (now to be described as "Glazed Link");

        * additional car parking: above ground to the north of Treloar Crescent;

        * Main Building Refurbishment;

        * Bean Building Refurbishment;

        * Bean Building Extension;

        *
