Australian War Memorial Tender

Scope Official plans for the nine-year Australian War Memorial Development Project have been unveiled outlining how the contemporary story of service and sacrifice will be told to future generations. This Project is about ensuring the stories of an entire new generation of service are told and remembered alongside those that inspired their own sacrifice and to do the same for future generations. The Australian War Memorial is one of the key institutions that ensure our veterans service is appropriately acknowledged it embodies our nations promise to never forget. Its a place for all generations of Australians to come to honour learn and heal. This project will benefit veterans from more recent conflicts by greatly enhancing the Memorials capacity to tell their stories in the same way it does the First and Second World Wars Korea and Vietnam and will create for the first time a permanent display dedicated to showing what our nation does to prevent war in the first place through peacekeeping. Work on the project began in 2018 and it is anticipated it will be complete by 2027.
