Molonglo Catchment and Regions

The Molonglo catchment comprises approximately 212,000 ha within the Murrumbidgee catchment in south‑eastern NSW and the ACT. It includes all the land that drains into the Molonglo River and Lake Burley Griffin, including the Queanbeyan River, and all the tributaries.

​

The catchment encompasses parts of the Queanbeyan‑Palerang Regional Council and Snowy-Monaro Regional Council, and part of the ACT. Included within the boundary is the entire city of Queanbeyan and a portion of the central suburbs of Canberra.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Molonglo catchment, crossing the NSW/ACT border, overlaps with a mix of traditional Aboriginal cultural boundaries and lines of connection, and statutory Aboriginal Land Council boundaries. The history of Aboriginal people is a living history and, in the present day, the NSW region is defined by Ngunawal traditional boundaries (spelt Ngunnawal by some clan groups and the ACT Government), traditional boundaries of the Gundungurra, Dharawal, Yuin, Ngarigo Aboriginal communities and the statutory boundaries of the Ngambri Aboriginal Land Council. In the ACT there are currently four Representative Aboriginal Organisations – Buru Ngunawal Aboriginal Corporation, Mirrabee, King Brown Tribal Group, and Ngarigo Currawong Clan. We acknowledge all Aboriginal custodians of this region. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life that is within and around the Molonglo catchment.
