Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility, even serving as an opium poppy plantation during World War II, and many of the large pine and gum trees date from that era.
A bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in May 2019 near the Downer shopping centre, replacing an earlier piece that had gone missing.
The site sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, part of the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name.
Downer is in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne (Labor), and in the ACT Legislative Assembly electorate of Kurrajong.
