Ginninderry’s Vision is to ‘create a sustainable community of international significance in the Capital Region’. The University of Canberra Living Lab Framework project aimed to co-create a research platform to help Ginninderry fulfil this vision over the lifetime of the development. The framework builds on international best practices to provide opportunities for Ginninderry residents to inform ongoing improvements for better community and place outcomes – with a focus on wellbeing. At the heart of this project is the principle that residents are the experts in the experience of living at Ginninderry. They are therefore best placed to inform Ginninderry’s ongoing design and activation. The Living Lab Framework provides a suite of tools to enable collaborative, citizen researcher-led approaches to improving sustainability and resident wellbeing over the next 40 years.
