Denman Prospect, Australian Capital Territory

Denman Prospect is a suburb currently under development in the Molonglo Valley district of Canberra, located within the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Lady Denman stood upon the newly laid Foundation Stones and pronounced, "I name the capital of Australia – Canberra".

[4] The ACT government attempted to sell the entire suburb as one lot to a developer first at an auction, and then by negotiation.

[5] Blame for the failure to sell to a developer was placed on new solar access regulations, which meant that blocks had to be bigger, or that house sites had to be excavated into the hillside.

[7] In July 2015 the Capital Estate Development company won a tender to build half of the suburb.

[9] Denman Prospect is located to the north of Uriarra Road, west of John Gorton Drive and south of the Molonglo River.

A sand quarry used to be worked just to the west of Coppins Crossing on the Denman Prospect side of the Molonglo River.
