The NCA is responsible for maintaining a wide range of places and infrastructure across the National Capital Estate.
Parks and landscapes
We care for nationally significant parks, gardens, open spaces and conservation areas, including Commonwealth Park, Kings Park, the National Rose Gardens, Old Parliament House Gardens and areas of native grassland and woodland.
Our work helps maintain these landscapes, protect their natural and heritage values, and support their use for recreation, ceremonies and public events.
Memorials and artworks
We manage and maintain more than 100 memorials, fountains and artworks across the National Capital, including the memorials along Anzac Parade and significant features in Commonwealth Park and Kings Park.
Maintenance takes account of the cultural, historical and artistic significance of these places.
Buildings and infrastructure
Our responsibilities include buildings, roads, bridges, car parks, paths, lighting, public toilets, signs, playground equipment and other public facilities on National Land.
Regular maintenance, repairs and upgrades help keep these assets safe, functional and fit for purpose.
Lake Burley Griffin
Lake Burley Griffin is a defining feature of Canberra and an important place for recreation, events and the environment.
The NCA oversees aspects of the lake’s management, including water quality monitoring, aquatic plant management, fish management and the maintenance of associated infrastructure. We also administer a range of activities on the lake, including boating and moorings.
