Five reasons South Jerrabomberra is a Canberra unicorn

Posted on

Love ‘the bush capital’ but also want the benefits of city living? That magical combination is getting harder to find in the Canberra region.

But just over the New South Wales border is something of a unicorn. The final chapter of Jerrabomberra—South Jerrabomberra—delivers the lot. From vast open spaces, spectacular vistas, and beautiful parks to the convenience of an established community just 20 minutes from Canberra City.

Here are five reasons it may be what you’re looking for.

Space, glorious space

CEO of Village Travis Doherty says South Jerrabomberra represents “a great opportunity to provide much-needed housing for people in the Jerrabomberra and broader Canberra region.”

He’s talking about a suburb that’s eventually set to be home to around 1250 households, bucking the trend towards high-density apartment blocks by delivering a combination of single residential housing with yards, townhouses and terraces.

It’s quiet, and the perfect setting for those who want to make the most of the open spaces that reaches right up to the hills, offering a beautiful outlook across Jerrabomberra and Canberra.

It’s about community

Village has big plans to create a true neighbourhood, and that starts with building a village centre.

“We will be restoring an old woolshed, which will be a beautiful attraction. There will be some cafés and little shops where the community can come in and meet and mingle,” says Travis.

South Jerrabomberra’s housing will be within walking distance to the anticipated village centre, and the future parkland area with BBQs and modern playground facilities. You’ll also have access to Jerrabomberra’s established amenities, which include a supermarket, petrol station, schools, child care facilities, post office and medical centre.

You’re a short drive from pretty much everything

From your relaxed home base of South Jerrabomberra, it will be hard to believe that Civic is just 20-minutes’ drive or that you’re just 15 minutes from Woden.

“It’s super close to everything,” says Travis. “You are within five minutes of Jerrabomberra, 10 minutes to Queanbeyan, and 15 to Manuka. It’s an amazing position—being on the border, it’s close to everything—and the location we picked is optimal for people to get in and out of New South Wales but also access Canberra as well”.

It’s the perfect base for an active lifestyle

“It’s great for those people who love bushwalking and taking their dog for a walk. Riding bikes is also going to be absolutely fantastic—there will be bike paths from Tompsitt Drive and Jerrabomberra right up to and into the residential development,” says Travis.

But it’s not just the wonders of nature that are yours to enjoy. The future $30 million Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Sports Complex will be positioned at the gateway to South Jerrabomberra. Proposed plans include an indoor aquatic centre, basketball stadium, hockey and soccer fields and a multi-storey sports pavilion.

“These will be world class sporting facilities and will attract international sporting teams and visitors.”

The price is as sweet as the lifestyle

With blocks starting from $325 000, South Jerrabomberra offers a lot of bang for your buck.
