Googong’s water treatment system will reduce water consumption by about 60%.
Infrastructure
The best of everything
We want to make sure Googong is a great place to live. So, in addition to the all the local streets and utility services you’d expect, we’re spending an additional $283 million to increase Googong’s amenity.
We are setting aside land for community facilities such as schools, and providing community buildings and infrastructure, including some very smart new technology. We are:
- upgrading local approach roads to benefit both Googong and the Queanbeyan region
- installing a purpose-built water and sewerage system that will deliver recycled water to every home for toilet flushing and garden watering, as well as providing irrigation for parks and open spaces
- building community facilities, including a multi-purpose community centre and library in the town centre, an indoor sports and aquatic centre, two neighbourhood community centres and a community clubhouse with facilities such as an indoor pool, tennis courts and a gym
- creating recreational facilities including a variety of sports fields, a regional playground, neighbourhood and local parks, and a network of walkways and bike paths
- restoring ecological waterways and creating new waterways and ponds
- restoring habitats and protecting native species
- providing gas, fibre to the home and mobile phone coverage.
Although all this will take some time, Googong’s very first residents will enjoy many benefits right from the start. You’ll move in to find amenities such as a high quality park with an attractively landscaped waterway, and a state-of-the-art clubhouse with an indoor heated swimming pool, outdoor splash deck, tennis courts, gym, café and a general store.
