Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s, later used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II. Large pine and gum trees were planted as windbreaks, many of which have been replaced with newer species since the 1980s.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the region’s original ‘Limestone Plains’ name.
Downer lies in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party, and in the ACT Legislative Assembly electorate of Kurrajong, which elects two Labor, one Green, one Liberal and one Independent member.
