Are you considering a move to a close-knit, sustainable, and family-friendly area of Canberra?

You could have the best of all worlds at Ginninderry, with the latest release of blocks in the new suburb of Macnamara. Not to mention environmentally focused practices, picturesque surroundings, and a strong sense of community. 

Around 2300 residents already call Strathnairn – Ginninderry’s first suburb – home. Eventually, the region will comprise four suburbs, a dedicated conservation corridor, and about 11,500 homes, spanning the ACT-NSW border.

The latest ballot release in Macnamara offers 28 single-residential blocks, ranging in size. It’s an ideal location for a growing family, just 13 kilometres from Civic, and 6 kilometres from the town centre at West Belconnen. 

Ginninderry prides itself on building a world class community and delivering an exceptional quality of life for its residents. We’ve put together 5 reasons why our residents love living in Ginninderry, and you could too. 

1. Sustainable Living 

Ginninderry prides itself on ‘walking the talk’ when it comes to nature conservation, urban design and long-term liveability. The suburbs are designed with renewable energies and emerging technologies front of mind, which can drastically cut annual energy bills, while also reducing household greenhouse gas emissions.

The scale of Ginninderry allows an opportunity to continually improve, evolve and implement new best practice technologies and initiatives over time.

2. Location, location, location! 

If you love a hike, or a bushwalk to reconnect with nature, we think you’ll feel right at home at Ginninderry. Homes have easy access to the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor, which will ultimately be 596 hectares of environmentally and culturally significant land along the Murrumbidgee River and Ginninderra Creek. There are over 10 km of walking tracks, with a range of distances to suit various fitness levels. If you’ve got kids, there’s a dedicated children’s walk, giving young explorers the opportunity to engage with the natural environment. 

And did we mention it’s as little as 20 minutes from the City?

3. Free front landscaping*

To ensure we collectively contribute to a sustainable future, Ginninderry offers free* front landscaping and constructive waste management for your home. It ensures we, as a community, are planting native plants that are sure to thrive in their environment, and create an aesthetically pleasing front yard. (*conditions apply) 

4. Community Events 

Ginninderry’s community events calendar is jam-packed! There are plenty of activities at every time of the year: from popping along to the Repair Cafe at The Link where you can work with volunteers to mend the broken equipment you’ve had sitting in your garage, to taking a guided walk through the Conservation Corridor to learn about some of Canberra’s native flora and fauna. If that doesn’t spark your interest, there are yoga and fitness classes, playgroups, art exhibitions, regular crafternoons at the local cafe and even one-off events that are specially programmed for the community, such as Halloween movies nights and cooking competitions.

5. Access throughout Ginninderry

Ginninderry was planned with its residents’ needs in mind. Each home is connected to the community with interwoven footpaths and trails, ensuring ease of access throughout the area. Homes are within walking distance to bus stops and bike paths linking to West Belconnen, and the City.
