Client Case Study - Ginninderry, ACT

A scenic view of rolling green hills and mountains under a colorful sky with orange and pink clouds at sunset.

Challenge

Ginninderry is one of Australia's most ambitious sustainable development projects, creating a community of 30,000 people spanning the ACT and NSW . 

The development integrates a 596-hectare Conservation Corridor that protects threatened species, including Pink-tailed Worm Lizard, Box Gum Woodland, and Natural Temperate Grassland. Ginninderry requires sophisticated compliance management, including meeting EPBC Act requirements, as well as state-level approvals. 

Solution

Speargrass developed a comprehensive compliance framework featuring:

  • An integrated compliance calendar to get ahead of responsibilities each year, and a proactive stakeholder engagement approach

  • Risk assessment framework for Matters of National Environmental Significance to ensure management of future risks related to climate, ecological threats, and regulatory change

  • Implementation strategy supporting the Ginninderry Conservation Trust's conservation mandate

Results

The strategy enables seamless compliance management for this groundbreaking project. Speargrass is continuing to support Ginninderry, focussing on automating compliance tracking and reporting systems and reducing regulatory risk to enable the team to focus on essential conservation work.
