What Ginninderry does

Ginninderry is a master-planned residential community development in West Belconnen, Canberra, Australia, structured as the West Belconnen Joint Venture between the ACT Government (via the Suburban Land Agency) and Riverview Developments (ACT) Pty Limited, with Riverview Projects (ACT) Pty Limited acting as Development Manager and Riverview Sales and Marketing Pty Ltd handling sales. The project plans approximately 11,500 homes across four suburbs over a 30-year horizon at a current build rate of 300-400 homes per year, with an ultimate projected population of roughly 30,000 residents versus a current population of 2,000-2,800.

The core offering comprises residential land blocks (priced approximately $412,000-$603,000) and Flexi-living Homes (compact 2 & 3 bedroom individually-titled house and land packages from $625,000 with no body corporate fees), supplemented by duplex and multi-unit sites (from $688,000) targeted at builders and investors. Supporting infrastructure includes The Link community and information centre, a 596-hectare Ginninderry Conservation Corridor, 14+ km of walking tracks, and forthcoming primary school and ECEC facilities. Technical differentiators are the 6 Star Green Star Community accreditation (Canberra's first) and a minimum 7 Star Energy Rating requirement on all new homes, supported by integrated solar and home energy management systems.

Revenue is generated through one-time land and home sales routed through a direct sales team (phone, email, in-person at The Link) and a ballot registration system that produced approximately 800 registrations for 50 blocks in the Strathnairn Village release, plus development management fees earned by Riverview Projects under the JV. Target segments are first home buyers, growing families, downsizers, and property investors in the ACT market, with buyer incentives including the Better Living Rebate of up to $58,000, free front garden landscaping, and eligibility for the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme and ACT stamp duty concessions.
