Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility and was used during World War II for opium poppy cultivation. The surrounding pine and gum trees were planted as wind‑breaks for the CSIRO buildings.
The suburb features a local oval bordered by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets, and a refurbished shopping centre that includes a café and a veterinary clinic. Nearby recreational spots include Dickson District Playing Fields and Dickson Wetland.
It is roughly 1.1 km from Dickson Centre and about 1.2 km from the Swinden Street Metro station.
The area rests on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting Canberra’s original “Limestone Plains.”
Downer is in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party, and in the ACT Legislative Assembly it is part of the Kurrajong electorate.
