The Anzac Memorial Centenary Project provides new education and interpretation spaces and completes Charles Bruce Dellit’s competition-winning vision for Hyde Park with the inclusion of a water cascade to the south of the memorial.
Designed by Johnson Pilton Walker and the Government Architect NSW the Centenary Project includes artworks conceived by Fiona Hall.
The Anzac Memorial centenary extension has connected the people of NSW with the Anzac story once more, respectfully interpreting Dellit’s vision and embodying the spirit of collaboration and community in a suitable living memorial to service, sacrifice and courage.
