Riverside Park, within the Ginnindery land holding, ACT is endowed with natural features that provide spectacular natural scenery, including rivers, gorges, and falls. The site is being gifted to the public for recreation and adventure, revegetation, and biodiversity. CJ Arms has been working closely with the landowner, park rangers, and traditional owners to create an ecological landscape masterplan that capitalises on the assets of the site and is sensitive to stakeholder needs.
