Browse property in Mort Street

Mort Street runs through Canberra’s Civic Centre, where the streetscape is dominated by the Inter‑War Mediterranean‑style Sydney and Melbourne Buildings that line the adjacent Northbourne Avenue and frame a mix of shops, bars and restaurants. Residential development is limited to low‑rise flats and apartments – the city’s height ceiling of 617 m ASL translates to roughly 12 storeys for offices and about 15 storeys for housing – giving the corridor a compact, urban feel without high‑rise towers.

The street is a key node of the City Interchange, serving ACTION and CDC Canberra buses along with an adjoining light‑rail terminus on Northbourne Avenue that will be extended toward Commonwealth Park. Mort Street is within walking distance of the three‑storey Canberra Centre shopping mall, outdoor cafés in Garema Place and City Walk, Glebe Park’s playground, and cultural venues such as the Canberra Theatre, Museum and Gallery and Civic Square.
