Googong NSW 2620

The uniqueness of this township cannot be under-estimated. Googong has already established itself with an advertising campaign highlighting the identity - as the locals are called 'Googonians'. Their Ministry of Health recommends exercise and outdoor activities, as over 23% of the Googong area is dedicated to open space and high quality landscaping. In developing the parklands, revegetating areas will occur with native species, and endangered native grasslands will be protected, along with habitats for the local animal and bird life.
Googong is located near Googong Dam on Old Cooma Road, just beyond Jerrabomberra, and only 20-25 minutes from Manuka shopping precinct and Canberra's Parliament House. (The Googong website shows 26 minutes to Canberra CBD.) The township of Googong is quite separate from the Googong Dam and its Foreshores. No development will take place within, or in an area visible from, the Foreshores area. The picturesque site is characterised by gently undulating slopes and plans, and dominated by the dramatic mountain backdrop of the Molonglo Ranges.
Each one of these DHA investment properties is located a short walk from Club Googong, which has a five lane 25m heated pool and an outdoor splash deck for smaller children. There is a gym, as well as tennis courts, children's playgrounds, amphitheatre, barbeque areas and broadwalks - all just a short walk from these investment properties. As well, there will be two neighbourhood community centres, an indoor sports centre, and recreational facilities including 7 sports fields, 6 netball courts and 13 local parks.
