Downer began as a CSIRO agricultural research facility in the 1930s and even grew opium poppies during World War II. The suburb was officially gazetted in 1960 and retains historic trees planted as windbreaks for the original CSIRO buildings.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, a reminder of Canberra’s original nickname, “Limestone Plains.”
Downer falls within the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne (Labor). In the ACT Legislative Assembly it is part of the Kurrajong electorate.
