Molonglo Valley Community Forum
In late 2020, several Molonglo Valley residents came together to form the Molonglo Valley Community Forum (MVCF) – a non-partisan and secular group with the objective to preserve and improve the social, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing of the Molonglo Valley and its community.
The Molonglo Valley District is growing and developing rapidly, with over 70,000 people expected to be living in the region within the coming decades. This presents many opportunities and challenges, and residents felt a need for a dedicated community group representing the region.
On 11 February 2021, a motion was passed in the ACT Legislative Assembly calling for the ACT Government to support establishing a new community council for the Molonglo Valley District. The MVCF is the Molonglo Valley Community Council’s trading name, which officially became a community council on 1 July 2021.
Molonglo Valley District
The Molonglo Valley District includes the suburb of Coombs, Wright, Denman Prospect, Molonglo, Whitlam, Bandler, Sulman and all future suburbs in the Molonglo Valley.
The district is located south of William Hovell Drive, west of Tuggeranong Parkway, north of Cotter Road and north of Mount Stromlo.
The Molonglo Valley District encompasses the National Arboretum, Stromlo Forest Park and part of the magnificent Molonglo River.
