Infrastructure
Everything a Googonian could need
Because Googong is such a massive project, we’re delivering the town’s infrastructure over time, as the town’s population grows. Already the several thousand residents in our first neighbourhood, Googong North, enjoy a
high level of amenity with a significant investment in local infrastructure, including the following.
