Ginninderry has partnered with BYKKO, Australia’s first electric bike share company, to provide an environmentally friendly form of transportation. Our fleet of electric bikes has a range of 60km and can reach speeds of up to 25km/h.

The e-bikes are free for the first two hours and can be unlocked via the BYKKO App by scanning the QR code at the docking station. Make the most of Ginninderry’s dedicated network of cycle paths and discover the joy of e-bikes. The docking station can be found at the entrance to The Link.

Beyond The Link, residents and visitors can stay connected while exploring Ginninderry’s first suburb, Strathnairn. Need wifi while BBQing at Paddys Park? No problem! Simply connect to 'Ginninderry_Free_Wifi' and enjoy.

The Ginninderry Conservation Track App allows you to learn about the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor's flora and fauna while strolling along the first track from Shepherds Lookout to The Link.

With a guided tour, points of interest and culturally significant stories, the best way to experience the walking track is with the app.

As part of Ginninderry’s commitment to renewable energy and with Strathnairn being the ACT's first all-electric suburb, CWP Storage has been working closely with Evo energy and Ginninderry to trial community-scale energy storage solutions to reduce the need for traditional network upgrades.

The size of the battery is equivalent to two Tesla car batteries and can store 275kWh of energy whilst sustaining 250kW of power for 1 hour. The battery, including all electrical and safety equipment, will be housed in a purpose-built enclosure which have been designed to look like the adjacent kiosk substation.

As a part of Ginninderry’s Housing Design Requirements, each home is required to install a Home Energy Management System (HEMS).

A HEMS shows you the solar power your home is making and how you are using it. This system not only tracks your energy use but also makes decisions about when and how to use energy. These decisions are based on weather conditions, electricity prices and typical energy consumption each day.

Strathnairn and Macnamara are NBN-connected suburbs, meaning there is an NBN pit ready to be connected to every new home at Ginninderry.

While it is always best to design a home to take advantage of the natural environment (wind and sun), reverse cycle air conditioners (RCACs) are a relatively efficient form of heating.

RCACs (sometimes called heat pumps) produce about one-third the greenhouse gas emissions of standard electric heaters. Energy Rating Labels are used to help you choose the most efficient models.

Each unit will have a heating (COP) and cooling (EER) rating. The higher the rating, the more energy you will save. Ginninderry requires that any RCACs installed must have a minimum EER (Cooling) of 3.5 and COP (Heating) of 3.5.

While some find it best to avoid downlights, LED lights provide a more efficient alternative to traditional halogen downlights.

Household solar battery systems store the excess power you generate with your PV system, letting you use the power when the sun isn’t shining. Although battery storage is not a requirement in Ginninderry, it is definitely something to consider.

The VELUX solar powered skylight provides daylight and controlled ventilation. It features a solar panel that charged the concealed battery-operated control system. It includes a sensor that automatically closes the skylight once rain is detected and also includes a timer function.
