Geologically, the eastern part of Macquarie is underlain by greywacke from the Ordovician Pittman Formation, uplifted along the east side of the Deakin Fault. A green‑grey dacitic porphyry lies beneath the Jamison Centre, while green‑grey rhyodacite of the Walker Volcanics underlies the centre and western parts of the suburb.
Macquarie was gazetted on 22 June 1967 in honour of Major‑General Lachlan Macquarie, a former Governor of New South Wales, and its streets are named after his contemporaries. The suburb lies in the inner north of Canberra’s Belconnen district, bounded by Belconnen Way, Bindubi Street, Redfern Street and Coulter Drive.
