Page, Canberra: Belconnen Northwest Family Living and Nature Reserve Access
Page is a Belconnen district suburb on the northwest fringe of the Belconnen area that is characterised by 1970s-1980s residential development, good-sized family blocks and direct access to the Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve on the suburb's northern and western edges. The Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve is a significant ACT open space and conservation area that includes grasslands, woodland and farmland environments hosting the eastern bettong, one of the ACT's most celebrated conservation reintroduction success stories. The Page Oval and local sports grounds serve the suburb's active community. The Page shops on Copland Drive provide local convenience retail serving Page and adjacent Scullin. Belconnen Town Centre and Westfield Belconnen are approximately 5-10 minutes drive to the southeast. The suburb's schools, including Page Primary School, are well-regarded northside government schools. The suburb has a strong owner-occupier community with stable residency patterns and local sporting club involvement. Block sizes in Page are generally larger than inner-Belconnen suburbs and represent good value for families seeking space at the Belconnen end of the market.
