29 Swinden Street, Downer ACT 2602, Australia
The property occupies a land parcel of 587 m². It is a standalone house situated within the suburb of Downer.
Downer is bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. The house on Swinden Street lies just inside these borders in Canberra’s inner north.
The Canberra Metro station on Swinden Street is about 0.3 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro hub, is roughly 0.7 km from the property.
Within 0.6 km you’ll find the Dickson Library and the Dickson Centre precinct. A short walk of about 0.8 km reaches the National Hockey Centre, and the nearby Dickson District Playing Fields and Wetland are each around 1.2 km away.
A bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in May 2019 near the Downer shopping centre, replacing an earlier piece that had gone missing.
Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects Canberra’s original name, ‘Limestone Plains’.
At the federal level, Downer is in the electorate of Canberra and is represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. In the ACT Legislative Assembly it falls within the Kurrajong electorate, which currently elects two Labor, one Green, one Liberal and one Independent member.
