The Government will provide $1.3 million in 2011‑12 for design and planning work on an Anzac Interpretive Centre (the Centre), as part of the commemoration of the Centenary of Anzac.
The Centre will increase community understanding of the service performed by Australian men and women during the First World War, providing an educational resource and a lasting legacy. The Centre will be located in Albany, Western Australia, where the Anzac convoys gathered before departing for Egypt and Gallipoli, and will also have an online presence.
The development of the Centre was a key recommendation of the National Commission on the Commemoration of the Anzac Centenary. This funding is in addition to the $250,000 already provided in 2011 to undertake a scoping study.
