Australian War Memorial,

Australian War Memorial, Canberra
This is an example of just
one of the Memorial's policies, and its linked
actions. This provides a very clear basis for the
management of a significant part of the Australian
War Memorial.
Policy 17
Maintain the commemorative
function use of the Hall of Memory
Actions to satisfy this
policy:
- maintain the
commemorative use by preserving the simple
nature and aura of the architectural space and
avoiding further accretions
- enhance access to the
place as the culminating experience of the act
of remembrance by avoiding further accretions to
the entrances except as recommended in these
policies
- interpret the Hall of
Memory as a shrine for the unknown Australian
soldier and its applied art work in a guide
book, a movable sign or by other appropriate
signs
- protect the external and
internal fabric of the Hall of Memory by
developing suitable repair and maintenance
programs
- where possible and
through interpretation improve the links between
the Hall of Memory and other commemorative areas
so that they become recognisable as one
unit.
