Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects the original "Limestone Plains" name of Canberra.
Downer was originally an agricultural research facility for the CSIRO, operating in the 1930s and used for opium poppy production during World War II. The surrounding large pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks, and many have been replaced with newer gum varieties since the 1980s.
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 electorate of Kurrajong.
