54 Giles Street, Kingston ACT 2604, Australia
The property sits on a 942 m² land parcel, providing ample footprint for a medium‑scale commercial building such as retail, office or mixed‑use development within the Kingston suburb.
Most of Kingston south of Wentworth Avenue is zoned for a predominant height of three storeys, with a maximum of four storeys where the building does not dominate the street frontage. Nearby redevelopment areas allow up to six storeys under certain conditions, so the site may be eligible for a modest‑height commercial building.
The major road through Kingston is Wentworth Avenue, which runs northwest to southeast. Access to the shopping precinct and the property is also provided via Giles Street and Eyre Street, offering direct connectivity for customers and deliveries.
A bus shelter on Giles Street is located about 0.5 km away, and the Canberra railway station is nearby, providing both bus and rail links for staff and visitors.
Within a 0.5‑km radius there are several hotels (e.g., Abode Kingston, Knightsbridge Canberra), the Kingston Shopping Centre, Kingston Powerhouse, and the Old Bus Depot Markets, which together generate regular foot traffic and potential customers for retail or hospitality businesses.
Kingston includes several heritage‑listed precincts and active redevelopment zones. While the property itself is not listed, any development should consider the surrounding heritage areas such as the Kingston Powerhouse Historic Precinct and comply with local planning guidelines for height and design.
Kingston is a densely populated suburb about 4 km from Canberra’s centre, known for its lively nightlife, cafés, and the Kingston Shopping Centre. This vibrant commercial setting offers strong local patronage and proximity to professional organisations like the Australian Association of Social Workers.
