16 Tompsitt Court, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
The house sits on a 621 m² block.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, with streets serving rear garages and a network of pathways intended to let pedestrians move across the suburb without crossing roads directly, although fences have altered the original vision.
The Charnwood centre shopping area, which includes fast‑food outlets, a Labor Club, a Shell service station and a Woolworths, is close by, as is an emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue services at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem And Harte Park is about 0.1 km away, and George Simpson Park is roughly 0.9 km distant, both providing open green space.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields, home to the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club during the track season, are located within the suburb.
For Australian federal elections the location is in the Division of Fenner, and for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it is part of the Ginninderra electorate.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, mainly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite, with the Deakin Fault along its north‑east edge and nearby Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite.
From 2004 to 2018 Charnwood hosted the annual “Charny Carny” carnival, which raised funds for local community groups and the Mount Rogers Scout Group; the event discontinued after 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
