The Ginninderra Police Station opened in 1882 and operated until 1927. From GZ, the Former Police Station and cell door is visible and is now listed on the Heritage Register.
Constable Madden reported an unofficial estimate of the district population in 1897 as 636 people. The changes in land tenure also presaged a new source of communal aggravation as the original settlers fought to prevent the new selectors from using access roads which crossed their holdings.
