It is named in honour of Lady Denman {{post-nominals|country=AUS|GBE}},[2] the wife of the fifth Governor-General of Australia, The Right Honourable The Lord Denman {{post-nominals|country=AUS|GCMG|KCVO|PC}}. The principal ceremonial occasion during Lady Denman's term as first lady was the inauguration of the Federal capital on 12 March 1913. Lady Denman stood upon the newly laid Foundation Stones and pronounced, "I name the capital of Australia - Canberra". The name Denman Prospect was selected to distinguish the locality from the town of {{NSWcity|Denman}}, New South Wales. The use of the suffix 'prospect' meaning view, vision or the outlook for the future, is considered significant in the context of the naming of Canberra by Lady Denman and Lord Denman's ensuing visionary speech for the future of the capital.[1] HistoryThe ACT government attempted to sell the entire suburb as one lot to a developer first at an auction, and then by negotiation. However the Colliers auction on 12 April was a failure with only one registered bidder, and then three months of negotiating led nowhere, and so the Land Development Agency will now develop the suburb itself.[3] Blame for the failure to sell to a developer was placed on new solar access regulations, which meant that blocks had to be bigger, or that house sites had to be excavated into the hillside.[4] It will be the third suburb to be developed in the Molonglo Valley District and the first in stage 2.[5] Coppins Crossing bridge was repaired after flooding in 2011.[6] Location and urban structureDenman Prospect is located to the north of Uriarra Road, west of John Gorton Drive and south of the Molonglo River. Topographically it is north east of Mount Stromlo with a series of valleys draining eastwards towards the Molonglo River in the south of the suburb, and the north east direction in the north. The highest points of the suburb are along hills on the eastern side at just over 654 meters high. Uriarra Road is about 630 m above sea level. The lowest point is on the Molonglo River just below 499 m above sea level. This makes Denman Prospect the lowest Canberra suburb.[7] The land area is 107 hectares and will contain 1700 dwellings if fully developed.[8] There will be a local centre and two schools.[8] Coppins Crossing Road between Uriarra Road and William Hovell Drive has a long history prior to the development of Molonglo, but it will be replaced by John Gorton Drive. WildlifeThe rare pink tailed worm lizard is found near the Molonglo River.[9] The butterfly Ogyris amaryllis amata occurs near Coppins Crossing.[10] Denman Prospect has been declared a cat containment area where cats are not permitted to roam freely.[11] Geology{{Main|Geology of the Australian Capital Territory}}The suburb of Denman Prospect is split by an east-west direction fault that splays off the Winslade Fault just to the west of the suburb. This fault is marked by quartz. The south side of the fault has been thrown down, and the north side elevated. The north-east heading Winslade Fault itself cuts off the northern tip of the suburb. To the north of the fault are the Mount Painter Volcanics in the north east with tuff composed of dacite fragments and underlying Walker Volcanics in the north west. Mount Painter Volcanics are of late Wenlock age. The rock south of the east-west fault is younger than the rocks to the north. Rocks in the south are rhyodacite from the Deakin Volcanics, and on the far west side of the suburb is ignimbrite and shale from the Laidlaw Volcanics. The Laidlaw Volcanics are the latest in the sequence and are 420.7±2.2 million years old. A sand quarry used to be worked just to the west of Coppins Crossing on the Denman Prospect side of the Molonglo River.[12] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/tools_resources/place_search2?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHAlM0ElMkYlMkYyMDMuOS4yNDkuMyUyRlBsYWNlTmFtZXMlMkZQbGFjZURldGFpbHMuYXNweCUzRm9iamVjdElEJTNENjYyMTImYWxsPTE%3D |title=Search for street and suburb names: Denman Prospect |work=Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate |publisher=ACT Government |date=4 December 2013 |accessdate=22 December 2013 }} 2. ^{{Cite news |url=http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/denman-prospect-and-molonglo-our-newest-suburbs-20120615-20eqq.html |title=Denman Prospect and Molonglo: our newest suburbs |work=The Canberra Times |date=15 June 2012 |first=David |last=Sharaz |accessdate=22 December 2013 }} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/debate-over-denman-prospects-development-continues-20130912-2tm0u.html|title=Debate over Denman Prospect's development continues|last=Anderson|first=Stephanie|author2=Meredith Clisby|date=12 September 2013|work=Canberra Times|accessdate=23 December 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/solar-rules-blamed-for-denman-fail-20130628-2p35c.html|title=Solar rules blamed for Denman fail|last=Clisby|first=Meredith|date=29 June 2013|work=Canberra Times|accessdate=23 December 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.domain.com.au/domain/real-estate-news/new-suburb-gets-ready-for-auction-20130119-2d03y.html|title=New suburb gets ready for auction|date=20 Jan 2013|accessdate=23 December 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hawkinscivil.com.au/?p=133|title=Bridge 4096 – Coppins Crossing, ACT|date=23 June 2011|publisher=Hawkins Civil|accessdate=24 December 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.actmapi.act.gov.au/Html5Viewer_1_3_1/Index.html?configBase=http://www.actmapi.act.gov.au/Geocortex/Essentials/GE3151/REST/sites/Aerial_Photography/viewers/ImageryHTML/virtualdirectory/Resources/Config/Default|title=ACTMAPi Imagery Viewer with 2004 contours}} 8. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.molonglovalley.com.au/storage/Denman%20Prospect%20Flyer%20December%202012_FA%20V2.pdf|title=Denman Prospect a Unique Opportunity for Developers|date=20 December 2012|publisher=ACT Government Land Development Agency|accessdate=23 December 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bendigo.ws/Attractions/Flora-and-Fauna/Pink-Tailed-Worm-Lizard.html|title=Flora and Fauna: Pink Tailed Worm Lizard|accessdate=24 December 2013}} 10. ^{{cite book|last=Braby|first=Michael|title=Butterflies of Australia: Their Identification, Biology and Distribution|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mHhKJjj6FscC&pg=PT908|accessdate=24 December 2013|date=2000-08-15|publisher=Csiro Publishing|isbn=9780643102927|pages=908–}} 11. ^{{cite web |title=Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 |url=http://app.actmapi.act.gov.au/actmapi/Index.html?viewer=doma&Locale=en-AU&extent=682023.318453125,6079683.63185973,688254.268415025,6083346.79543605&StoreID= |website=app.actmapi.act.gov.au}} 12. ^Henderson G A M and Matveev G, Geology of Canberra, Queanbeyan and Environs 1:50000 1980.
