The report categorises feedback into themes (collection/gallery inclusions, access and facilities, redevelopment, ways of telling stories, positive sentiment, outdoor displays/experiences, digital/online) and notes that only 2.2 per cent of feedback was against the redevelopment and only 0.8 per cent was against corporate involvement in the Memorial.
