Overview

Fadden is a well‑established suburb in Canberra’s Tuggeranong district, gazetted in 1975 and named for former Prime Minister Sir Arthur Fadden. Bounded by Erindale Drive, the Wanniassa Hills Nature Reserve, the Fadden Pine Plantation and Sternberg Crescent, it sits beside Macarthur, Gowrie and Wanniassa and enjoys immediate access to two sections of the Canberra Nature Park – Wanniassa Hills to the north and the smaller Macarthur Hill to the east – plus Hannah Community Park on the Gowrie border.

Residents benefit from a modest local shopping centre on Hanlon Crescent (hairdresser, medical centre, chiropractor, massage therapist and veterinary hospital), the Fadden Neighbourhood Oval, tennis courts and the Pine Plantation’s playground and BBQ facilities. Fadden Primary School serves families from preschool to Year 6, and ACTION bus routes 74/75 (circular) and 76 link the suburb to Tuggeranong Town Centre and Erindale Centre. At the 2021 census the suburb had 3,006 people, a median age of 43 and a median weekly household income of $3,302, reflecting a mature, stable community.
