The Gungahlin Community Council (GCC) is a voluntary, not for profit, community-based association operating in the Gungahlin district of Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory. This area covers the north-northwest of the ACT between the ACT/NSW border, the Barton Highway to the south, and the Federal Highway to the east, including the village of Hall. Our objective is to preserve and improve the social, cultural, economic and environmental well-being of Gungahlin and the Gungahlin community.
Note: GCC is not a local government. If you have enquiries relating to government issues, we may be able to help you. However, the main contact for ACT Government enquiries is Canberra Connect phone 13 22 81 or at canberraconnect.act.gov.au.

Our Monthly Meetings

The next GCC meeting will be held on Wednesday 8th May 2013 - 7:30pm at the Gungahlin Library

Agenda Minister Shane Rattenbury will be the guest speaker & is prepared to answer questions.

GCC will be launching our new image.

We will hear from Judith McDonnell CEO of the Gungahlin Regional Community Service  & Lynne Harwood CEO of Communities@Work on the progress of the merger between the two organisations. We look forward to the enhanced presence of Communities@Work in Gungahlin.  It will be good to determine how we can work together to make Gungahlin an even better place to live & work.
