Molonglo is a suburb currently under development in the Molonglo Valley district of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The suburb of Molonglo derives its name from an Aboriginal expression meaning "the sound of thunder".[3]
Currently in development and planning stages, Molonglo is expected to be the town centre or group centre and will comprise the principal commercial and civic centre for the Molonglo Valley district. It is planned to accommodate approximately 1000 new dwellings in a relatively compact mixed use urban environment.[4]
