Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research facility with buildings from the 1930s, and it operated a poppy plantation during World War II. Many of the large pine and gum trees around the centre were planted at that time as windbreaks.
The suburb rests on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This geology reflects the limestone plains that gave early Canberra the nickname “Limestone Plains.”
The property is situated in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. It also lies within the ACT Legislative Assembly electorate of Kurrajong.
