Overview

Florey is a residential suburb of Canberra’s Belconnen district, sitting just a kilometre from the Belconnen Town Centre. Most of the housing was built in the mid‑1980s and was planned as medium‑density accommodation, with a blend of government homes, sites set aside for construction workers, first‑home buyers, low‑income earners and senior residents. Families benefit from three nearby schools – St Francis Xavier College (7‑12), St John the Apostle Primary and Florey Primary – while the Hindu Temple and Cultural Centre on Ratcliffe Crescent adds a multicultural focal point. Health services are provided by the Florey Medical Centre, which operates seven days a week.

The suburb’s own shopping centre on Kesteven Street and Ratcliffe Crescent offers everyday retail needs, highlighted by a bronze plaque honouring its namesake. Public transport is well‑served, with ACTION bus routes 2, 3 and 40 linking Florey to the wider ACT. Community spirit is nurtured through the Florey Neighbourhood Watch, regular forums and the annual Fabulous Florey Community Fair, while recent waterway restoration along Ginninderra Creek improves local storm‑water quality.
