With the bulldozers getting ready to roll in following a rushed, rubber stamp approval from the National Capital Authority
of ‘early works’ that include demolishing Anzac Hall, the Institute is supporting a grassroots community rally to save this award-winning architecture.
The #HandsOffAnzacHall Candlelit Rally is being held this coming Sunday 20 June from 6pm – 7pm at the Australian War Memorial
on the rear (Mt Ainslie) side of Anzac Hall.
Public opposition to the redevelopment, including a record 601 public submissions, of which 598 were opposed, has been summarily
dismissed.
But the fight isn’t over yet. We invite you to stand with us on Sunday and make your voice heard. If you can’t be there
in person, you can show your support on social media.
The event is also supported by the ACT Greens, Medical Association for Prevention of War (Australia), the Heritage Guardians
and Honest Historians together with former Directors and staff of the Memorial.
