Ngunnawal is one of Canberra's newer suburbs, and as such its development has set the tone for much of the Gungahlin region in the Territory's north. Building in the suburb first began in 1993, and a flurry of subsequent development in the region has ensured the supply of modern, newly built homes is maintained. The suburb offers a place for many young families and first-home buyers to get a foothold in the heated ACT property market. Recent figures put the median price for a house at a relatively affordable $305,000, and a unit at $270,000. Ngunnawal is bordered by Amaroo and Nicholls, with the yet to be developed suburb of Casey at its rear.

Gungahlin is approximately 15km from the Central Business District (CBD) of Canberra, and is located close to all regional attractions. Gungahlin is within a comfortable two hours drive of Australia's snow fields, famous trout fishing lakes and the pristine beaches of the New South Wales south coast.

Today, the Gungahlin Region boasts a cosmopolitan population in excess of 25,000. With modern schools, shopping centres, community and sporting facilities, wide open parkland and beautiful lakes, the Gungahlin Region a fantastic place to live. It's also arguably the best place in Canberra to raise a family.

Amaroo is one of Canberra's newest and northernmost suburbs. Part of the Gungahlin area, development in Amaroo started gathering pace in the mid-1990's after the suburb was gazetted in 1991. In contrast, construction in Canberra's first suburb, Acton, began in 1913.

Planning for Amaroo's first school, Good Shepherd, started in 1997 and in 2002 the first of the Catholic school's students filed into class. In 2003, the public Amaroo School took its first pre-school pupils. The primary school, catering for pupils from kindergarten to year 5, opened in 2004. This year it expanded to include years 6 to 8, and years 9 and 10 will be added in 2006 and 2007.

Slightly more than 10 years on from the turning of the area's first sod, Palmerston is now a fully fledged and functioning suburb. Leafy trees now afford their gardens ample shade, and the bulk of development is now complete.

Construction first began on a large scale in Palmerston in 1994, and the locale was one of Gungahlin's first suburbs. It now has a school, Palmerston District Primary, and the Gungahlin Town Centre, with its sports club, shopping mall and library, only a short distance away. As are Gungahlin's two lakes, Gungahlin and Yerrabi ponds, and the Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club.

The Mulanggari and Gungaderra grassland nature reserves are similarly situated, meaning residents have a wide selection of prime locations for their recreational pursuits.

The ACT has a policy to name the streets of its suburbs according to a theme. In Palmerston's case they are named after mountains of Australia. Hence, Kosciuszko Avenue, Grampians Street and Surgerloaf Circuit.

The suburb is named in honour of George Thomas Palmer (1784 - 1854), who was one of the first landholders in the Gungahlin district, where he established a settlement in 1826. This was originally known as Palmerville but was later referred to as Ginninderra.

Real estate prices in the locale are probably about average. The median price for a house in Palmerston hovers at about $410,000, and a unit will cost $257,000.
