Ginninderry seeks Expressions of Interest from like-minded community housing providers with a proven track record in designing and delivering high-quality development and community housing schemes for the purchase/development of up to 64 multi-unit dwellings in a key growth corridor in Strathnairn.  

Ginninderry is being developed by a Joint Venture between the ACT Government’s Suburban Land Agency (SLA) and Riverview Developments (ACT) Pty Limited (Riverview) and will eventually consist of 4 suburbs, growing over a 30-year time frame to ultimately be home to some 30,000 people and approximately 11,500 dwellings. 

Ginninderry is Canberra’s first 6-Star Green Star Community as accredited by the Green Building Council of Australia. 

Site details 

• Up to 64 multi-unit dwellings for community housing as part of Block a Section BE (zoned CZ5), located in Strathnairn Village, Pro Hart Avenue, Strathnairn.  
• Located on Pro Hart Avenue – providing both visibility and ease of access, being on the main public transport route and adjacent to the future connection to Parkwood Road.  
• Relatively flat topography and neat 5,075m² rectilinear block of suitable proportions for development of either townhouses or up to 64 apartments. 
• Opportunity for potential alignment with Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) Round 3. 
• Ginninderry will provide off-site services such as communications, power, sewer and water to the block within the surrounding road network during civil construction.  
• Ginninderry will seek to coordinate service pit and tie locations to best suit the proposed development subject to resolution of the future development intentions. The successful proponent will be required to facilitate on-block services.  
• Located in close proximity to the future Strathnairn Retail Centre (subject to approval), with a planned public open space also positioned directly to the north-east.  
• Close to Hilltop Park, Paddys Park, temporary dog park and the future Macnamara Neighbourhood Park.  
• The recently opened Strathnairn School is also nearby, situated along Pro Hart Avenue.  

Preliminary Concept Designs for the site have been completed to help illustrate the sites development potential including the potential product mix for both townhouses and low-rise apartments (noting these concepts have no statutory planning status and are intended as a guide only). Eligible respondents will receive an allowance to develop concept designs as part of their submission.    

It is important that the Multi-Unit housing developed on the site adequately responds to the sites characteristics and addresses Ginninderry’ s housing development requirements. 

Civil construction of the site is due to commence shortly and is expected to be complete between February – August 2027.
