5 Macqueen Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
It is a house situated on a 613 m² block of land. The lot provides ample space for typical suburban living.
Charnwood was designed using the Radburn principle, where houses originally faced common parkland and rear garages were serviced by back streets. The plan included a network of footpaths intended to let residents walk anywhere in the suburb without crossing a road, though later fencing has altered the original vision.
The Charnwood centre shopping area is close by and includes several fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station and a Labor Club. These facilities serve the surrounding suburbs and are within easy reach.
The Boslem and Harte Park is approximately 0.3 km away, providing a convenient green space for recreation. George Simpson Park is also nearby, about 1.3 km from the property.
An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue services is located near the Charnwood shopping centre at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive, just a short distance from the house.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields are situated within the suburb and serve as the home ground for 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 marks a boundary where Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are found on the opposite side.
For Australian federal elections, Charnwood is in the Division of Fenner. For ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
