Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sir John OverallPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the Commissioner of the National Capital Development Commission, Sir John Overall (1913 - 2001).
In 1952 Overall became the Chief Government Architect in the then Commonwealth Department of Works. He held this position until 1957 and in the following year was appointed by Prime Minister Menzies as Commissioner of the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC), the body then responsible for the planning and development of Canberra as the national capital. Sir John Overall headed the NCDC until 1972 before returning to private practice.
