The site sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium deposits.
Downer falls within the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. At the territory level it is part of the Kurrajong electorate in the ACT Legislative Assembly.
