Features
Five neighbourhoods
The Googong masterplan creates five distinct but connected neighbourhoods lying within the gentle undulations and slopes of the township site. This ensures each neighbourhood will have its own character while still being linked into the wider township.
Diverse housing styles
Housing will range from large family homes, through lifestyle homes (such as cottages and courtyard homes) as well as compact, easy-to-care-for terraces and apartments.
The higher density homes styles will be located in the heart of each neighbourhood along with shops and offices, to create an active and vibrant place to live, work and visit.

Parklands
Googong Common, a large parkland meandering through the centre of the township will be the “green lungs” of Googong, and accessible from all the neighbourhoods. It will combine recreational, environmental and cultural uses including sports grounds, adventure play space, pedestrian and cycle trails.
A key element of Googong Common will be an ecologically restored chain of ponds. High quality landscaping will also be provided across the township and 183ha or over 23% of the total township site will be dedicated to open spaces.
Community facilities
Residents will also benefit from a new level of community facilities, including clubhouses, an indoor sports and aquatic centre, a library, shops, primary and high schools and child care centres, rolled out progressively as the township develops over time.
Fibre optic broadband and other innovations will encourage both local and home-based employment, while public transport and cycle ways will link Googong to its neighbourhoods as well as the wider region.
Growth over time
Googong’s first residents will benefit from an immediate sense of belonging to a community with a café, general store and community clubhouse established before they move in.
Town Centre and Neighbourhood Centres
From the first neighbourhood, the community will continue to grow and evolve to create a place that captures the essence of its location and its unique environment. Each neighbourhood will have a village or town centre as its "hub". Over time the Googong Town Centre (with up to 18,000m2 of commercial floor space) will become the urban, retail and commercial focal point for the five neighbourhoods.
