Spanning more than 2.5 hectares, the new Town Park has already captured the attention of families across the ACT and NSW. Featuring an incredible range of amenities, it is designed to be a go-to destination for play, relaxation and community events. Highlights include:

This vibrant recreation precinct provides endless opportunities for families to enjoy the outdoors, cool off in summer, and spend quality time together.
Complementing the park is the brand-new South Jerrabomberra Community Centre, which is now open and accepting bookings. The centre offers:
- Four flexible function rooms
- Two kitchens
- A dedicated bar area
- Modern facilities suited to workshops, meetings, celebrations, clubs, and community activities
Bookings will be managed by Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, with spaces available immediately.
Built with sustainability in mind, the centre features solar panels and on-site battery storage, powering both the centre and many of the park’s features — a testament to Village’s commitment to sustainable community development.
Saturday’s launch event brought hundreds of residents together for live entertainment, food stalls, kids’ activities, games, giveaways, and the official ribbon cutting.
Rob Fisher, Deputy CEO of The Village Building Company, described the park and community centre as:
“Spaces designed for connection, activity, and a genuine sense of belonging.”
Hon. Steve Whan MP highlighted the precinct as a destination for families across the region, while Mayor Kenrick Winchester praised the development as a beautiful, inclusive space that South Jerra residents will enjoy for many years to come.
The opening of the Town Park and Community Centre paves the way for the next major milestone — the South Jerrabomberra Town Centre, scheduled to commence construction in early 2026.
The planned Town Centre will include:
- A supermarket
- Cafés with outdoor dining
- Specialty retail
- Community services
- A vibrant village-style atmosphere
Set to open in 2027, it will become a lively lifestyle hub at the heart of the community.
The Town Park and Community Centre are now open and free for the community to enjoy.
Whether you’re splashing in the water play area, hosting an event in the Community Centre, or enjoying the open green spaces, South Jerrabomberra has cemented itself as one of the region’s most exciting new neighbourhoods.
