Ginninderry was certified by the Green Building Council of Australia in 2016 as a six-star Green Star community and has been re-certified in 2021. This rating was achieved by meeting the highest possible sustainability standards for the design of our masterplan.

The surrounding environment at Ginninderry is magical and one that we need to preserve for generations to come. The Ginninderry Conservation Trust has been established to protect over 596-hectares of environmentally and culturally significant land along the Murrumbidgee River and Ginninderra Creek. From preserving up to 80% of all trees, to protecting endangered species and cultural areas, the Trust relies on local community input to help manage the Conservation corridor.

Ginninderry has woven the rich Aboriginal and European heritage of the land into its master planning process, to protect, preserve and keep the cultural value alive. Significant Indigenous archaeological sites have been identified, preserved and protected throughout the area and European heritage sites such as the Belconnen Farm Precinct will be incorporated in future planning.
