46 Covington Crescent is a house situated on a generous 851 m² block of land. The property offers ample space typical of Charnwood’s residential lots.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses were intended to face common parkland and streets served rear‑facing garages. In practice, many homeowners added fences, creating narrow walkways and reducing direct street visibility.
The Charnwood centre shopping area is nearby and includes a Woolworths supermarket, fast‑food outlets, a Shell service station and the local Labor Club. An emergency services station (ambulance, fire and rescue) opened in October 2013 is also located at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem and Harte Park is about 0.7 km away, while George Simpson Park is roughly 1 km from the property. The Charnwood District Playing Fields, home to the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club in season, are also situated within the suburb.
From 2004 to 2018 Charnwood hosted the annual ‘Charny Carny’ carnival, raising funds for local schools and the Mount Rogers Scout Group. The carnival ceased in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
For Australian federal elections, Charnwood is in the Division of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge, with Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite found on the opposite side of the fault.
