11 Mcquade Close, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
It is a standalone house situated on a 754 m² block of land. The property offers the typical single‑family home layout found in the suburb.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses faced shared parkland and the streets primarily serviced rear garages. In practice, many owners built fences around the park side, creating narrow, poorly lit walkways with limited neighbourhood visibility.
The Charnwood centre shopping area nearby provides fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station and a Labor Club. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue facilities is also situated at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem and Harte Park is roughly 0.7 km away, offering green space and walking paths. The Charnwood District Playing Fields, home to the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season, are also nearby.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, mainly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these rocks, while the Hawkins Volcanics of green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are found on the opposite side of the fault.
From 2004 to 2018 the suburb hosted the annual 'Charny Carny' carnival, which raised funds for local schools and the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The event was discontinued in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
For federal elections, the property is in the Division of Fenner. In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it belongs to the Ginninderra electorate.
