Garema Place is a paved, pedestrian‑only plaza at the heart of Civic, Canberra, lined with a mix of shops, restaurants and cafés that spill onto outdoor dining tables. The streetscape is enlivened by public art, notably the silver “Cushion and the Wedge” sculpture and the newer “Big Swoop” magpie statue, while community gatherings, protests and festivals regularly animate the space. Its central location makes it a focal point for the city’s multicultural and Celebrate Canberra festivals each year.

Originally gazetted as a street in 1952 after the removal of the short‑lived Civic Centre railway station, the former rail corridor now forms City Walk, linking Garema Place to the expansive Canberra Centre (the former Monaro Mall). Though the rail line was abandoned, the plaza remains a key transport node within the CBD, providing seamless pedestrian access to nearby civic landmarks such as Vernon Circle, City Hill and the Legislative Assembly Building.
