40 Brisbane Avenue

The property is situated in a suburb dominated by government departments and diplomatic missions, making it ideal for professional services, consultancy firms, or organisations that benefit from proximity to federal agencies and embassies. Its location also supports enterprises that require close interaction with public‑sector clients.

Barton primarily contains government and national institutions, with limited retail activity, indicating a zoning focus on office and institutional use. This environment supports businesses aligned with public‑sector and diplomatic operations rather than high‑traffic retail.

The suburb is bounded by Kings Avenue, State Circle and Morshead Drive, providing direct links to Canberra’s city centre and Capital Hill. These arterial roads facilitate easy vehicle access for staff and visitors traveling to the site.

Within a 0.2‑km radius are several embassies (Guatemala, Argentina, Cambodia, Uruguay), the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, the Institute of Industrial Engineering, and the Australian Federal Police College. These entities offer potential partnerships and a ready client base for related services.

York Park and Bowen Park are located within a short walk (approximately 0.2‑0.3 km) of the site, providing open areas for breaks or informal meetings. Telopea Park is also nearby on the suburb’s south‑east edge, adding further green‑space options.

Over 46 % of Barton residents are professionals, with a high proportion employed in central government administration. This creates a local market of well‑paid, government‑linked clientele for services targeting public‑sector employees.

The suburb includes heritage‑listed structures such as the Edmund Barton Building and the Barton Housing Precinct. While not directly on the property, any development may need to consider the surrounding heritage context.
