Australian War Memorial Director Matt Anderson said he welcomed the announcement from the National Capital Authority (NCA).
“We are very pleased to receive approval from the NCA to proceed with three separate Main Works Packages for the Australian War Memorial’s Development Project,” Mr Anderson said.
“This is a very significant milestone, with the project now securing all necessary approvals to proceed with delivering the new Southern Entrance, the CEW Bean Building extension, and the new Anzac Hall.”
“The Memorial will work with the NCA to comply with conditions noted in their decision.”
“For modern veterans this is also a significant milestone as they are now one step closer to having their stories told in the new galleries.”
“The Memorial would like to thank all Australians who participated and contributed in the public consultation process,” Mr Anderson said.
The approval comes following 6 weeks of public consultation hosted by the National Capital Authority, which offered opportunity for the public to provide feedback on the architectural designs of the project plans.
