Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve is a nationally important group of small wetlands in central Canberra (the capital of Australia). The Wetlands area is on a part of the Molonglo River - Jerrabomberra Creek floodplain that became permanently inundated when the Molonglo River was dammed to form Lake Burley Griffin in 1964. ACT Parks and Conservation Service manages the Wetlands in partnership with the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust. Major water bodies at Jerrabomberra Wetlands include Shoveler Pool, Kelly’s Swamp, Molonglo Reach, Jerrabomberra Billabong, Jerrabomberra Creek, Jerrabomberra Pool, and a silt trap. The Jerrabomberra Backwaters are palaeochannels formed by the Molonglo River as it flooded and shifted course over geological time. People use Jerrabomberra Wetlands for recreation, such as walking and nature walks, bird watching, and fishing. Jogging and cycling in the wetlands area are discouraged except if passing through on the main path, because they disturb fauna. Dogs are prohibited. Canoeists and kayakers use Molonglo Reach, and larger boats are allowed there via permit. Nearby places of interest include the Kingston Foreshore (cafés), Royal Military College Duntroon, and Pialligo Estate (wineries, plant nurseries and cafés). The Woodlands and Wetlands Trust facilitates events, education and community engagement through partnerships and co-funding. New residential developments are planned for the western and southern edges of the Nature Reserve, and they will bring thousands more visitors to the Reserve. The Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve is a summer feeding ground for Latham's Snipe which is a relatively rare waterbird protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and listed under the international migratory bird agreements with China (CAMBA), Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROKAMBA). Latham’s Snipe migrate between northern Asia and Australia for the Canberra winter. Jerrabomberra Wetlands are habitat for a range of other fauna, both terrestrial and aquatic, including other birds, turtles, frogs, platypus and water rats (Rakali), and snakes, as well as foxes (a predator introduced to Australia from Europe, which preys on Australian native fauna), and other pest species. Outside the reserve, birds in the area also use the nearby sewage treatment ponds and turf farm for shelter and food.

The Kingston Foreshore Redevelopment is a major urban renewal program in the suburb of Kingston on the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, the capital of Australia. This meant that at the start of the 21st century, the layout of the lake was significantly altered for the first time since its construction, on the southern shore of the East Basin, which was planned in 1997. A bidding process was enacted, and six construction firms were shortlisted for the contract in early 2003. In April 2007, the government awarded the contract, worth 1 billion dollars, to McMahon Contractors. Construction began in July.Multimillion-dollar luxury apartment complexes were built in the suburb of Kingston, with properties selling for record-breaking prices. After a dispute over the environmental impact of the development, due to a lack of tree and wastewater recycling facilities in the area, building works commenced. In 2007, work started to reclaim land from the lakebed to form a harbour, which is expected to turn the area into an entertainment hub.It is expected that 1,700–1,800 dwellings or apartments will be constructed and that 7,000 square metres will be set aside for retail, 30,000 square metres for office blocks and 14,000 square metres for arts and cultural uses, while 19 hectares will be open to the public. Construction is expected to be complete by 2010, with a new island being created in the harbour.The Kingston Powerhouse, which used to provide the city's power supply, was converted into the Canberra Glassworks in 2007, 50 years after the electricity generators stopped. The institution is the only facility completely dedicated to contemporary glass. A 22 m high tower of glass and light named Touching Lightly, will be built at Kingston after being approved by the government in April 2009. It was selected from 42 submissions. An environmentally friendly structure it uses light emitting diodes, and is expected to be completed in mid-2009 at a cost of AUD450,000.
