Our new buildings and spaces will enhance the visitor experience, while protecting the heritage and form of the original iconic outline of the Memorial’s sandstone building façade as it is seen from Anzac Parade.
The sacred heart of the Memorial - including the Commemorative Area, Hall of Memory, and Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier - will not change. The original Commemorative Forecourt, stairs and heritage entrance will also be reinstated as they appear now.
The addition of a new southern entrance will improve visitor access and orientation, with particular consideration given to issues of accessibility and mobility impairment. The original heritage entrance will still be available for those who wish to use it.
New galleries will include quiet places for reflection and improved spaces for education programs, in order to allow greater connection and engagement with stories and objects for all visitors.
A new Research Centre will enhance the experience of research at the Memorial, offering efficient public access to collection and reference materials, and offering visitors welcoming, light-filled spaces.
The new design will improve connections between the main building and new Anzac Hall galleries, as well as improving the visitor experience. Create additional exhibition space, while preserving the heritage and integrity of the main Memorial building.
