Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects the original “Limestone Plains” name for Canberra.
The area was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility in the 1930s‑1940s, even growing opium poppy during World War II for medication supplies. Large pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks, many of which have since been replaced with local gum varieties.
Downer is part of the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. In the ACT Legislative Assembly it falls within the Kurrajong electorate.
