Downer was originally an agricultural research site for the CSIRO in the 1930s and grew opium poppy during World War II. The area later developed into a residential suburb and retained many large pine and gum trees planted as windbreaks during that era.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This rock base is part of the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name.
Federally, Downer is in the electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. At the ACT Legislative Assembly level, it falls within the Kurrajong electorate.
