About the Molonglo Valley Community Forum
An independent, recognised community council for residents and businesses of the Molonglo Valley.
The Molonglo Valley
The Molonglo Valley is one of Canberra's newest and fastest growing districts. Our suburbs include Coombs, Wright, Denman Prospect, Whitlam, Molonglo, Bandler and Sulman.
From approximately 18,000 residents today, the district is projected to grow to around 55,000 residents in the coming years.
This rapid growth makes strong community representation and advocacy more important than ever.

What we do
The Forum advocates for the community through four current workstreams: public safety, planning and development, traffic and transport, and ACT Government engagement.
We host public meetings, make submissions on planning matters, raise issues with local MLAs and government, and connect residents with local businesses through our Business Registry.
