28 Newland Street is a standalone house. It sits on a generous block measuring approximately 1,199 m².
The property is in the suburb of Flynn, part of Canberra’s Belconnen district. Flynn lies between Tillyard Drive, Kingsford Smith Drive and Ginninderra Drive, close to the neighbouring suburbs of Charnwood, Fraser, Melba, Latham and Spence.
Flynn is named after John Flynn, a Presbyterian minister and missionary who founded the Australian Inland Mission Aerial Medical Service in 1928, the forerunner of today’s Royal Flying Doctor Service. The suburb’s streets honour workers from the flying‑doctor service.
Flynn contains the former Flynn Primary School and Preschool, a design by architect Enrico Taglietti that was considered for heritage listing. Although the heritage application was ultimately rejected, the site remains recognised for its unique twentieth‑century organic architecture.
The south‑west part of Flynn, where the property is located, is dominated by Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. Nearby, the Deakin Fault separates these rocks from the Hawkins Volcanics, which include green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite.
George Simpson Park is about 0.7 km away, offering open green space. The Boslem and Harte Park lies roughly 1.4 km from the house, and Mount Rogers, a notable hill, is around 0.8 km to the north‑east.
For Australian federal elections, Flynn falls within the Division of Fenner. In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it is part of the Ginninderra electorate.
