History

My Gungahlin was founded in 2006 by Mark Scarborough with a primary focus on providing an online business directory for Gungahlin. The original site had over 750 Gungahlin businesses listed and had a small news section for Gungahlin news and information.

---

My Gungahlin had a strategic change in 2012 and launched a new website which provided more news, information, and events for the Gungahlin region. The business directory was still included in the new web site design and the number of Gungahlin businesses increased to over 900.

---

My Gungahlin launched new branding and website in mid-2013 to make it easier for the Gungahlin community to find news, information, events, and businesses relevant to them. The new branding was designed to reflect the conversation, engagement My Gungahlin encourages and recognise the diversity in the Gungahlin community.

---

My Gungahlin joined the Region Media Group in mid-2020 as a strategic move to ensure its long term longevity.
