Is Jerrabomberra in Queanbeyan?

cross said :

Not only can you not register your car down at ACT motor registry with Jerra as an address (because its not in the ACT) you can’t even catch an ACTION bus to or from Jerra (because its not in the ACT) NSW police patrol Jerra(because its not in the ACT) Actewagl have special access arrangements for Jerra and Qbn with the NSW gov’t
(because its not in the ACT)

NSW police patrol Oaks Estate too. Because it’s not in the ACT. Oh, except it is.

And have we forgotten that it was NSW police who were persuing Mully in Fyshwick last year?

Jerrabomberra’s (the residential bit we all know as Jerrabomberra anyway) very much part of NSW. Not because of which government’s employees service it, but because the border runs down the western rail of the rail line (NSW owns the actual line itself) and Jerrabomberra’s on the eastern side of it.

Everything East of the railway line is New South Wales.

I live in Jerra.

Jerra is it’s own area (it has it’s own postcode), but for all intents and purposes is part of Queanbeyan. This means we get stuff like the free fortnightly green recycling pickups (and free twice per year junk pickup) and choice of third party personal insurer when we register our cars. Our public transport isn’t great, but we all drive cars anyway.

I’ve lived there for years and love it.

A mate of mine works for Canberra Connect and routinely gets people from Jerrabombera ringing up to register their cars, unaware they are in NSW.

You really have to worry about the future of the human race when you hear things like that.

These wankers are all over Canberra.
Harcourt Hill, Chisholm Heights, Wanniassa Hills, Upper Aranda, Narrabundah Heights etc

The suburb of Jerrabomberra is part of Queanbeyan, in NSW, but there is a DISTRICT of Jerrabomberra wholly within the ACT.

Remember, the ACT is divided into Districts, some of which are mainly urban and some of which are mainly or wholly rural. The urban, or mostly urban districts, are then sub-divided into Divisions, or suburbs as they are more generally known. These Districts are called North Canberra, South Canberra, Belconnen, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong and Gungahlin.

The other Districts are rural, or mostly rural, and are called Majura, Kowen, Hall, Stromlo, Tennent, Booth, Rendezvous Creek, Mount Clear, Coree, Paddy’s River and Jerrabomberra.

Jerrabomberra also contains four divisions, or suburbs, namely, Oaks Estate, Hume, Symonston and Beard. The rest of Jerrabomberra is rural.

It’s a bit confusing, especially in Jerrabomberra’s case, because the same name has been used on both sides of the border, and although the ACT’s Jerrabomberra covers a larger area, there are more people living in the NSW Jerrabomberra. I wonder which Jerrabomberra came first?!

Hope this helps.

Queanbeyan seems to have some nice Victorian houses left, whereas Jerrabomberra is like Gungahlin with free-hold land.

Funny, if I ask my friends who live in Jerra, they are pretty adamant that Jerra is not Queanbeyan.

That’s called denial

Yep, pretty much! One of the few issues Canberrans and Queanbeyan(ites?) come together on!

I hear its only the not so rich.. Over a certain limit of wealth and they don’t care.

Had a friend in retail that lives in Kambah and filling out delivery and other things to do with addresses, they’d usually give out Gleneagles as the suburb and the friend would correct to Kambah. Then they’d get annoyed

Reality map. Note where the border is of the ACT and where the area labled Jerrabomberra is in relation to that border.

Confirmed via online titles that the suburb of Jerrabomberra exists in the ACT. However it appears to just be large rural blocks, not residential.

Certainly looks like there is a suburb/region called Jerrabomberra in the ACT according to actmapi?

I’ve also heard people refer to North Terrace as NOT Qbn, but a suburb of Jerra!
Yes…..Denial.

All you have to do is look at the Queanbeyan City Council map to see Jerra within it’s jurisdiction. Yes, Jerra is part of Quangers, and many will tell you otherwise. I’ve even heard “upper queanbeyan” once, ha ha ha

I recently spoke to a lady who had just bought “in the A.C.T part of Jerrabomberra”!
The Real Estate agent had informed them it was the more exclusive/desirable part of Jerra.
I just laughed.

Hume???

If your really not sure if somewhere is Queanbeyan just check the housing prices

People really exist who can’t find the ACT border on a map???
