The assessors were Mr Anthony Powell (Chairman) and former Commissioner of the NCDC, Mr John Enfield (Secretary of the Department of Territories) Rear Admiral Ian Richards (Deputy Chief of Naval Staff) Surgeon Captain Austen Ferguson (Federal President of The Naval Association of Australia) and Mr Graeme Sturgeon (Director of Artbank - Department of Home Affairs and Environment).
The Commonwealth Naval Forces had been formed on 1 March 1901, from the previous colonial navies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, and the title ‘Royal’ was granted by King George V on 10 July 1911.Ī panel of assessors met in January 1984 to consider the 61 registrations of interest and subsequently selected 14 entrants to proceed with their proposals. In late 1983 the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC), in consultation with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), invited suitably qualified sculptors and architects to submit designs for a national memorial to mark the 75th Anniversary of the formation of the RAN.
