THE push for a cross-border national park is gaining momentum, with calls for the government to get behind the project.

The Ginninderra Falls Association wants privately owned-land that in-corporates part of the Murrumbidgee River in Yass, the once-popular Ginninderra Falls and a section of the ACT Woodstock Nature Reserve to be created into the Murrumbidgee-Ginninderra Gorges National Park.

Fresh push for national park at Ginninderra

Canberra Time Artiicle by NOEL TOWELL, 1 November 2011

A renewed push is under way for a new national park in the north of the ACT.

Activists are campaigning for a 700 hectare area straddling the NSW-ACT border on both sides of the Murrumbidgee River, just outside West Belconnen, to be given national park status.

More than 50 people, including MLAs from the Government and the Greens, attended a forum at the Legislative Assembly in Civic yesterday to discuss ways to reinvigorate the campaign for the Murrumbidgee-Ginninderra Gorges National Park.
