Kinlyside is a designated suburb in Gungahlin, Canberra. The land designated for the suburb has not yet been released for development by the Australian Capital Territory’s Land and Development Agency (LDA).
According to the ACT’s Planning and Land Authority website, the suburb is named after George Kendall Kinlyside. From a well known pioneer family in the Ginninderra-Hall area; followed in his father's footsteps as wheelwright, coachbuilder and blacksmith at Hall; in 1907 he built a hall which served the Hall community for many years; active in local affairs and joint secretary of the Hall Progress Association when established in 1906. [1]
The suburb is bounded by the village of Hall to the south east and Clare Hermes Dr to the south. The suburb’s other boundaries have been surveyed but not yet established. The suburb was Gazetted in October 1991 and as yet has no residents.
Underneath Kinlyside are acid volcanic rocks from the middle Silurian period. These are from the Hawkins Volcanics. The hills in the west of the suburb are mostly green grey dacite, and the valley bottom is mostly purple andesite covered in part by alluvium.
