Conservation

The surrounding environment at Ginninderry is magical and will provide unique recreational activities for local residents to enjoy.

In order to preserve it for generations to come, Ginninderry has established a conservation corridor that currently manages 242-hectares – growing to 596-hectares over time – of environmentally and culturally significant land along the Murrumbidgee River, Ginninderra Creek and Ginninderra Falls. To manage this land, an environmental trust made up of representatives from the community has also been established.
