There’s a reason village-style living resonates with so many people – it’s more than just housing, it’s about creating communities where daily life happens close to home. 

Ginninderry’s latest land release in Strathnairn Village takes a significant step toward realising that vision, with 50 new blocks positioned within walking distance of the future Strathnairn Retail Centre^*. 

The ballot release includes 36 single residential blocks and 7 duplex packages (14 duplex blocks total), all carefully positioned to maximise connection to emerging community infrastructure. Located just 1 km from Paddys Park, and Strathnairn School and Early Learning Centre, these blocks place families within easy reach of education, recreation, and soon, daily shopping and services.

“This release represents an important step in the evolution of Strathnairn Village, particularly as we prepare for the delivery of Ginninderry’s first retail centre,” says Marcus Mills-Smith, Head of Sales, Marketing & Communications at Ginninderry.

“Being able to live within walking distance of everyday essentials fundamentally changes how people experience their neighbourhood.”

The retail centre will deliver shops, services, and community spaces right in the neighbourhood, whilst Belconnen Town Centre sits just 12 minutes away, and Canberra City is a 20-minute drive. Meanwhile, public transport access via Pro Hart Avenue and the future connection to Parkwood Road means residents can choose how they move around, walking to local shops, driving to major centres, or catching public transport to work or leisure activities.

Flexibility built in

What sets this release apart is the unique RZ4 zoning that permits homes up to three storeys (12.5m) as DA Exempt development, subject to meeting ACT Planning requirements. This isn’t just about building bigger – it’s about building smarter and more flexibly.

Young families might start with a modest two-storey design, knowing they can add a third floor later as their needs evolve. Buyers planning for multi-generational living can incorporate that flexibility from day one. Investors can design for rental appeal whilst maintaining future development options.

“Combined with unique zoning that permits three storeys and our sustainability requirements designed to reduce long-term running costs, this is an opportunity to secure land in a location that will only become more connected and vibrant over time,” Mr Mills-Smith explains.

Designed for sustainability

All homes built on these blocks will reflect an architecturally curated material and colour palette, contributing to Strathnairn Village’s cohesive aesthetic while supporting more sustainable, energy-efficient living. 

Every purchaser receives free^{^} front gardens and construction waste management, delivering practical time and cost savings from day one, whilst ensuring streetscapes develop consistently and beautifully.

Mid-sized residential blocks

The 36 residential blocks are thoughtfully sized for contemporary living, ranging from 328m² to 439m² and priced from $412,000. These aren’t the sprawling quarter-acre blocks of previous generations, nor are they cramped townhouse allotments.

They represent the middle ground increasingly sought by families, downsizers, and first-home buyers. 

Duplex investment opportunity

The 14 duplex blocks, offered as seven packages priced from $688,000, present strong opportunities for builders, investors, or families seeking multi-generational living solutions. Block sizes range from 280m² to 378m².

With a minimum two-storey requirement, these packages are designed for efficient development and long-term investment appeal. They suit the growing market for quality duplex properties that offer more space and amenity than apartments whilst maintaining affordability compared to detached houses.

The ballot process

With strong demand expected for these limited blocks, the release operates via ballot to ensure fair access. This gives all interested buyers equal opportunity to secure their preferred block, rather than an advantage going to whoever registers fastest.

Details on ballot registration, timelines, and process are available through Ginninderry’s sales team, who can provide comprehensive information on individual blocks, zoning specifics, design requirements, and the overall vision for Strathnairn Village.

The future of Strathnairn Village

The future retail centre^* will transform daily routines, making coffee runs, grocery shopping, and casual encounters with neighbours part of regular life rather than special trips. Combined with the school, parks, conservation corridor access, and community facilities, Strathnairn Village is building the complete picture of sustainable, connected living.

For those seeking more than just a house block, who to be part of a genuine village community where walking replaces driving for daily essentials, where neighbours become friends, and where sustainability and liveability go hand in hand, this release offers something increasingly rare in modern development.
