7 Randell Street, Dickson ACT 2602, Australia
7 Randell Street is a standalone house situated on a 728 m² parcel of land. It offers the typical space and privacy associated with detached homes in the area.
The Macarthur Avenue light rail station is about 0.3 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, serving multiple bus routes, is roughly 0.9 km from the house. This provides convenient access to both light rail and bus services.
The Dickson Centre, a major commercial hub with supermarkets, shops, an ambulance station and a variety of services, lies within the suburb and is easily reachable on foot. Additional nearby hotels and cafés further enhance the local convenience.
Keith Tournier Enclosed Oval and Rugby Park are each about 0.3–0.6 km away, while Jandura Park is roughly 0.6 km distant, offering open spaces for sport and leisure. The Dickson Wetlands and walking tracks are also close by.
The area features leafy streets with detached single‑dwelling houses and two‑storey duplexes, reflecting the suburb’s inner‑north residential vibe. Recent redevelopment focuses on multi‑storey apartments along Northbourne Avenue, but the central part remains low‑rise and green.
Dickson sits on calcareous shales of the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, historically known as the "Limestone Plains". In flatter sections, including around Randell Street, a layer of Quaternary alluvium overlies the shale.
Dickson was the site of Canberra’s original aerodrome between 1924 and 1926, and later hosted the Dickson Experiment Station during World War II, which contributed to crop research. The suburb’s development began in the late 1950s, with the first houses built near Braddon in 1958.
