4.8.2 Backround
A key element of Griffins' formally adopted plan for Canberra is the central triangle formed by grand avenues. Constitution Avenue is the base of this geometric element (the National Triangle) and was the Municipal Axis of the Griffins' plan.
Constitution Avenue is central to the implementation of the Griffin Legacy. Constitution Avenue will become an elegant and vibrant mixed use grand boulevard linking London Circuit to Russell, increasing the vitality of the Central National Area and completing the National Triangle. This will be supported by an integrated transport system, broad tree‑lined footpaths and outdoor dining and street parking.
Anzac Parade is set along the Land Axis, which forms a key feature of the Griffins' original 1912 plan of the city. The Australian War Memorial stands at the top end of Anzac Parade. The two together are central to the commemoration of Australian military service and sacrifice.
There is a national capital interest in ensuring that:
       * sites on Constitution Avenue are developed in accordance with their national significance, as part of Griffin's National Triangle
       * the symbolic importance of the Constitution Avenue as a Main Avenue and the base of the National Triangle is protected and supported through the design and development of the adjacent blocks and the landscaping and design of the avenue
       * fitting sites on Anzac Parade are available for commemoration and remembrance
       * balanced building massing at the sites at the southern end of Anzac Parade is maintained as far as practicable and is reinstated as a result of any redevelopment of those sites, to ensure the portal function on the Anzac Parade frontages of those sites is maintained for the benefit of the Parliament House Vista.
