Googong is a new, masterplanned township in the Canberra region, nestled in a picturesque site just 16km from Parliament House and only 7km from the Queanbeyan CBD. To be built on 780 hectares of former grazing land, it will include a town centre and four neighbourhood centres located in five walkable neighbourhoods. There will be 5,550 homes of varying types and sizes to house 16,000 people of all ages.

After more than eight years of studies, consultations and investigations, the NSW Government re-zoned the Googong site on 24 December 2009 to allow work on the township to start. CIC has worked closely with Queanbeyan City Council and the NSW Department of Planning to ensure all aspects of the township have been carefully considered before the first sod is turned.

As a completely new, self-contained township, Googong will provide housing choice, community facilities, shops, schools, recreational and employment opportunities. The township will be created over 20 to 25 years.

From concept to completion, it will be built for the residents and visitors who will live, work and spend their recreation time at Googong. It takes its design cues from traditional townships, not suburban subdivisions that simply tack onto the edge of an existing suburb.

Googong will be CIC’s flagship project, providing a blank canvas to showcase the very best in design and sustainability across social, environmental and economic areas. Fundamental to the vision is capturing the essence of Googong’s distinctive landscape. Nearly a quarter of the township site will be open space of various types to be enjoyed by the people who will eventually call Googong home.

CIC wants to create a community unlike any other in the region, which will deliver everything homebuyers expect from a contemporary development in the 21st century, without losing the traditional benefits and sense of belonging that existed in townships of the past.
