Performance Targets vs Actuals
Target
90% visitor satisfaction rating
Actual
72% visitor satisfaction rating; $550M capital works delivered 18 months late
$550M War Memorial upgrade blows past deadline by 18 months
The Australian War Memorial's massive $550 million capital works project has been delivered 18 months late, tying up your taxes in a project that couldn't meet its own timeline. On top of that, visitor satisfaction has dropped to just 72% against a 90% target — meaning the Memorial is spending more of your money than ever while delivering a worse experience.
