Canberra's next chapter.
Your next opportunity.

Canberra is a city in its prime – and few areas are as pivotal to its next chapter as Molonglo 1. This is your standout opportunity to be a part of its growth, while experiencing the kind of potential that comes from a truly thriving community.

Spanning a significant 64,000m2, the englobo development site lays the foundations for a residential precinct in a highly sought-after riverside location. Just 15 minutes from Canberra’s CBD, the Molonglo suburb will be the heart of Canberra’s next Town Centre. This is your opportunity to develop up to 700 dwellings, with no affordable requirements in a well-connected and growing area.

Based in the already-thriving Molonglo Valley, surrounding established suburbs mean the area is already amenity-rich. This potential is going to be amplified further with the development of Molonglo Town Centre, which will sit directly across from this site. Including a main commercial precinct, school, library and other community facilities, it will be the core of a community that bears the best hallmarks of sustainable, purposeful placemaking. 

Your opportunity to contribute to that positive legacy starts here.

Molonglo Town Centre 

The Suburban Land Agency has started working on the future Molonglo Town Centre, which will be at the heart of Molonglo and sit directly opposite this site.

The Molonglo Town Centre and Surrounds Master Plan makes provisions for:

  • A main shopping and commercial precinct 
  • A large retail and service trades area 
  • A library and community centre 
  • A high school and college 
  • A central playground 
  • Parks and open spaces 
  • A shared recreation path next to the river reserve 
  • The Molonglo Parkway Drive Connector.  

Public transport and active travel routes will connect the Molonglo Town Centre to nearby neighbourhoods, recreational spaces and the wider Canberra area. The design will encourage walking, cycling and using public transport.
