21 Tompsitt Court, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
Charnwood was designed using the Radburn principle, which placed houses facing common parkland and positioned garages at the rear. The intention was to create pedestrian pathways that avoided crossing roads directly.
The Charnwood centre shopping area serves the suburb and includes a Woolworths, a Shell service station, various fast‑food outlets, and a branch of the Labor Club. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue facilities opened nearby in October 2013.
Boslem and Harte Park is only about 0.2 km away, and George Simpson Park is roughly 0.8 km from the house. Larger natural features such as Mount Rogers are also within 2 km.
Yes, the Charnwood District Playing Fields are nearby and host the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March).
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these rocks, with Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite on the opposite side.
For federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
The emergency services station near the Charnwood shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive opened in October 2013.
