3 Emmott Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
3 Emmott Place is a stand‑alone house situated on a 539 m² block. The generous land size provides ample outdoor space for gardening or recreation.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, meaning homes originally faced common parkland with streets serving rear‑located garages. Over time, many owners added fences, creating narrow walkways and limited street‑level visibility.
The Charnwood centre shopping area offers a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station, several fast‑food outlets and a Labor Club. These amenities are located within the suburb, making daily errands convenient.
An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue units sits near the Charnwood shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive, just a short walk from the property.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields, home to the Ginninderra ‘The Tigers’ athletics club during the October‑March track season, are within the suburb. Nearby parks such as The Boslem and Harte Park (≈0.3 km) also provide open space for leisure.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, primarily Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these volcanics, and Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite appear on the opposite side of the fault.
For Australian federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
From 2004 to 2018 Charnwood hosted the annual ‘Charny Carny’ carnival, raising funds for local schools and the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The event ceased in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
