C) Pialligo
• A number of indigenous, natural and built heritage sites in Pialligo have been nominated or are registered on the ACT Heritage Register.
• Archaeological assessments/investigations indicate extensive Aboriginal settlement throughout Pialligo over an extended period of time. Many Aboriginal artifacts have been found. The name Pialligo is derived from the Aboriginal name for the area.
• In the early nineteenth century the area was part of Campbell’s Duntroon Station.
• Since European settlement Pialligo has been largely used for agrarian purposes. Today the area is largely made up of commercial nurseries, associated buildings and open fields.
• The National Trust is concerned that the recent airport upgrading, the construction of the Brindabella Park office complex and road duplication have the potential to impact upon the remainder of Pialligo.
• In the context of the 2008–09 Heritage Grants program, the National Trust was successful in obtaining a grant to conduct a comprehensive heritage assets survey of Sections 2, 31 and 38 of Pialligo, the area lying to the west of Pialligo Avenue and East of the Molonglo River.

• It is important to note that the CMP will have to be endorsed by the ACT Heritage Council prior to its acceptance by the Land Development Agency.
E) St John’s Schoolhouse
