Ballot registrations for Ginninderry blocks open for limited time

Ginninderry, one of Canberra’s newer developments, is continuing to uphold its reputation as a thriving community hub.

Now, 78 more blocks of land in the Ginninderry suburb of Macnamara have been made available to those wanting to make the move.

The blocks are blank canvases on which to build for those successful in the land release ballot – registrations close March 16.

With the stunning backdrop of the Brindabella Range, it won’t take much to create a dream home with incredible views.

Named after Dame Jean Macnamara, the area is Ginninderry’s second of four suburbs and is set to house a major local hub – the Pro Hart Avenue Local Centre – planned for 2027, subject to approvals.

Residents will have everything they need within a couple of minutes’ walk from home, from a medium-sized supermarket and health facilities to specialty retail stores.

“Ginninderry has a project horizon of 25 years, and by that time, it is expected to be ultimately self-sufficient,” says Marcus Mills-Smith, Ginninderry’s head of sales, marketing and communications.

“The Ginninderry region will include work nodes, four schools, parklands, a conservation corridor and an abundance of other community infrastructure.”

Ballot registrations for Macnamara opened on February 28, and there has already been strong demand, with more than 200 registrations made in the first week.

After the ballot closes in mid-March, block selection sessions will begin in early April. From then, successful buyers will be able to appoint a builder of their choice and get their designs underway.

“This Macnamara release is uniquely positioned in a pocket that is surrounded by the future Macnamara Central Park to the north and views of the Brindabellas as a backdrop,” Mills-Smith says.

“It’s also within walking distance to the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor and other community facilities – all while being close to public transport.”

Ginninderry residents can take advantage of a free local bus service (the “Blue Bus”) that connects residents to local amenities, as well as to the Kippax Interchange, which provides bus services to the rest of Canberra.

For those considering making the move, affordability might come as a surprise. Blocks start at just $440,700 and go up to $636,090, with land sizes ranging from 319 square metres to a generous 597 square metres.

Residents will also have the opportunity to take advantage of Ginninderry’s front landscaping inclusion at no extra cost, ensuring a beautiful, sustainable garden is one less thing to worry about.

“Given the current timeline, we’re expecting to welcome new Macnamara residents in mid-2027,” Mills-Smith says.

“To make the final touches of building a home easier, Ginninderry offers free front landscaping with a choice of contemporary, edible and native planting options.”

While Ginninderry continues to expand and the vibrant suburb moves one step closer to completion, those who are looking to build a home that balances nature, convenience, and community might just have found the perfect place in Macnamara.
