You’ll know you’re in Belconnen once you’ve driven past the much-loved, phallic-shaped owl statue. Whether you want to enjoy the water and the outdoors with family, have a leisurely meal with friends, or be close to a major transport hub, you can do it all in Belconnen. There’s no shortage of shops and eateries, both at Westfield Belconnen shopping mall, hidden in the surrounding buildings or dotted around the Lake Ginninderra foreshore. Apartment complexes are Belconnen’s signature, with plenty of new developments popping up around the Lake.
