SOUTHERN ACT CATCHMENT GROUP INC Legend Brindabella Southern ACT Catchment Boundary National Park Urban NSW Reserves ACT Reserves Conservation.Areas Namadgi National Park Namadgi National Park covers 105,900 ha, making up more than half of the ACT. Declared as a National Park in 1984 it is now a sanctuary protecting all animals, plants and cultural sites within its’ borders. To the south-east the park joins Kosciusko National Park and the Bimberi and Scabby Range Nature Reserves and on the north-east boarder joins Brindabella National Park. The park has a wide variety of conservation habitats that range from the broad grassy valleys to snow gum woodlands and subalpine wetlands and is zoned to accommodate recreational opportunities such as camping, recreational driving, cycling, horse riding, bushwalking, rock climbing and abseiling. Murrumbidgee River Corridor From Angle Crossing in the south to Uriarra Crossing in the north, around 66 km of the Murrumbidgee River and a narrow strip of land either side of it has been identified as a 0 single entity, the Murrumbidgee River Corridor (MRC). The MRC is a collection of nature reserves, recreation reserves, a European heritage conservation zone and rural leases. The Murrumbidgee is home to the Murray Crayfish which is now protected due to dwindling numbers from over fishing. Canberra Nature Parks Canberra Nature Park Reserves range from bushland hills to some of the best examples of lowland native grassland in south-east Australia. The reserves contain some of the best examples of Yellow Box-Red Gum Grassy Woodland left in Australia. This type of woodland is an endangered ecological community. It is home to a number of rare or threatened species such as the Hooded Robin, Striped Legless Lizard and the Button Wrinklewort.

Map.3 CATCHMENT2007–2010 MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Rural.Lands IIn 1909 New South Wales transferred land over to federal control for the establishment of the Australian Capital Territory. Subsequently an act of parliament created the legal framework for the ACT restricting landholders to leasehold rather than freehold to give the government more control over development within the region. As of 2006 all urban land in the ACT is held on 99 year crown leases. Rural lands are subject to leases, ranging up to 99 years, that may be transferred with agreement from the ACT Government or through sale or inheritance. There are over 79 rural leases in the southern ACT catchment area and the predominant land use is sheep and cattle grazing on improved pasture. Forestry Plantation forestry in the southern catchment area began in 1915 near Mt. Stromlo in 22 the Kambah and Coppins sub-catchments as an attempt to improve the degradation of soil from over-grazing by sheep, rabbits and kangaroos. By the 1930’s areas of Pinus radiata were also planted annually within the Lower Cotter, Uriarra and Paddy’s River sub- catchments. At the time, the benefits of pine plantations were seen to include erosion control and improved soil quality, therefore protecting the water quality within the lower cotter sub- catchment for Canberra’s water supply. The ACT pine forests have suffered damage from periodic bushfire events since their establishment. The Canberra bushfires of 2003 largely destroyed the Stromlo, Uriarra and Pierces Creek pine plantations and burnt a large proportion of natural forested areas within Namadgi National Park and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. In 2006 the ACT Government committed against any further commercial pine plantations within the Lower Cotter, Paddy’s River and Uriarra sub-catchments. It is proposed that these areas be rezoned within the Territory Plan. Remnant areas of pines that were either replanted or have survived since the 2003 bushfires will be managed on a non-commercial basis and liquidated when feasible to convert the areas back to their pre-pine native vegetation components. It is expected to take up to 30-35 years before native vegetation will be replanted into all the existing fire-affected pine plantation areas. Stromlo and the surrounding area will be converted to other landuses including residential and a modern outdoor recreational facility, ‘Stromlo Park’. The ACT Government is committed to not replanting pines for commercial use within this area. Any pines to be planted are for recreational and aesthetic values SOUTHERN ACT CATCHMENT GROUP INC Urban Development The small village of Tharwa is oldest urban development within the southern ACT catchment area, being established in 1862. It wasn’t until 1928 that the urban growth of Canberra began to expand into the southern ACT catchment area. Over the next 50 years the satellite districts of Woden Valley (1963), Weston Creek (1968) and Tuggeranong (1974) would be established. These districts make up the majority of all urban landuse components within the catchment area.

Map.4 SOUTHERN ACT CATCHMENT GROUP INC Infrastructure The southern ACT area is home to numerous highways and major roads, service and shopping centres, and various public utilities that aim to establish a framework for maintaining urban growth for the ACT. The Monaro Highway and the Tuggeranong Parkway are the two major roadways linking the southern ACT catchment with the rest of the ACT. They travel north to south and are linked from east to west by Hindmarsh Drive. Each suburb is bounded by at least one major road within the catchment area providing for quick access. Congestion is usually associated in times of peak traffic within areas close to local Service and Shopping Centres. Small shopping centres are generally located within most suburbs in the southern ACT catchment area, with larger service centres found at Greenway, Wanniassa, Phillip, Mawson and Weston.

A lot of thought and research has gone into the naming of Googong North’s streets, parks and playgrounds. So we thought we’d share the stories behind these names that may have already become such a familiar part of your life at Googong. The stories are all rooted in the region’s history. Googong’s parks, playgrounds and open spaces celebrate the rich history of the natural indigenous custodians of the land. The streets pay homage to the early settlers of the region, as well as places and personalities from more recent history. We hope you enjoy discovering a little more about the pre-Googonian era! 1 Googong North streets, parks and playgrounds CONTENTS STREETS GOOGONG’S NGUNAWAL A H N PAST Aitken Street 3 Hale Street 10 Nano Street 17 Alchin Street 3 Hanns Street 10 Nellie Street 17 Bunburung Thina 24 Amy Alley 3 Hawes Street 10 Newton Street 17 Annlouise Lane 3 Hawke Street 10 Norma Street 17 Nangi Pimble 24 Aprasia Avenue 3 Hearne Street 10 Ayliffe Street 3 Heath Lane 10 O Yerradhang Nguru 25 Heazlett Street 10 O’Hara Lane 17 B Helen Circuit 11 Munnagai Woggabaliri 25 Bailey Crescent 4 Henshaw Street 11 Baker Crescent 4 Hopkins Street 11 P The original residents Bambridge Parade 4 Hopper Walk 11 Percival Road 18 and their rich history 25 Banks Street 4 Pickering Street 18 Baxter Loop 4 I Plummer Street 18 Pollack Street 18 Beltana Avenue 4 Ida Lane 11 Beltana

    AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY Editor: John Ashe Planning and Land Bill 2002 On 27 June 2002 the Minister for Planning, Simon Corbell, tabled legislation to establish a new Planning and Land Authority to manage the Territory’s planning and land functions. The Bill implements an election promise made before the Legislative Assembly election in October 2001. The proposed authority will have responsibility for the planning, leasing, land administration, development assessment and building control functions currently managed by the Planning and Land Management Group in the Department of Urban Services. The Authority will also be responsible for the policy aspects of land development, and will incorporate the responsibilities of the present Commissioner for Land and Planning. Mr Corbell said that the Authority will have the power to make development decisions in its own right rather than as the Minister’s delegate, and day-to-day decisions will be free from ministerial or other political involvement. The Authority will be led by a Chief Planning Executive and staffed by public servants. It will be advised by a new expert Planning and Land Council of up to seven appointees with expert qualifications and experience covering a range of disciplines. The Council will provide advice to both the Minister and the Authority. The Bill also provides for the return of land development in the ACT from the private to the public sector by the creation of a Land Development Agency. The Agency will be established as a corporation empowered to develop land, carry out works for the development and enhance- ment of land, and to undertake strategic and complex urban development projects.
