7 May 2025Drake-Brockman Drive Upgrades – Response to Conservation Council ACT Petition
Our Commitment to Sustainable Growth and Open Dialogue
From the beginning, Ginninderry’s vision has been to create a sustainable community of international significance that sets new benchmarks in environmental stewardship, design and liveability.
As our community grows, so does the need for infrastructure that supports a safe and connected place to live for 30,000 people by 2050. The approved upgrades to Drake-Brockman Drive are part of this long-term vision, ensuring safe access for current and future residents while carefully balancing ecological considerations.
In line with our Project Vision, we continue to engage openly and collaboratively with conservation groups and community stakeholders. We remain committed to building on existing planning and environmental approvals by refining outcomes through continued consultation, ensuring that every stage of development reflects the triple-bottom-line approach of sustainability at the heart of Ginninderry.
