6 Blacket Street, Downer ACT 2602, Australia
6 Blacket Street is a standalone house situated on a 724 m² land parcel.
The property sits on a land area of 724 m², providing a modest sized block within Downer.
The Swinden Street Canberra Metro station is about 0.1 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro station, is roughly 0.6 km distant.
Within a 1‑km walk you’ll find the Dickson Centre, National Hockey Centre, Quality Hotel Dickson, St Ninian’s Church, and the Downer shopping precinct, among other local facilities.
Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site, used between 1939‑1945 for opium poppy cultivation, and many of the large pine and gum trees around the area date from that era.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation that are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone heritage of the region.
Federally the property is in the Canberra electorate, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party, and at the ACT level it falls within the Kurrajong electorate of the Legislative Assembly.
