The property sits on a 924 m² block. This provides ample space for a garden, outdoor entertaining area, or potential extensions.
ACTION bus routes 43 and 24 run along Dumas Street and William Webb Drive respectively, connecting the area to Belconnen Interchange. These services give easy access to the wider Canberra public‑transport network.
McKellar Oval (William Palmer Park) is centrally located in the suburb, offering open space and panoramic views. A small football stadium, McKellar Park, and its club are situated in the north‑east of the suburb.
The former McKellar shopping centre was demolished, leaving only a single small commercial building in the suburb. The nearest larger retail area is in Belconnen, about 1.4 km away.
McKellar is bounded by Ginninderra Drive, William Webb Drive, Owen Dixon Drive, and Gundaroo Drive. These major thoroughfares provide good road connectivity to surrounding districts.
The area is underlain by a green‑grey dacitic porphyry intruded by large white feldspar crystals, with a band of Glebe Farm adamellite running through the southern part. This rock composition is typical of the suburb’s geology.
McKellar is named after Colin McKellar, who served as Minister for Repatriation from 1964 to 1970. The suburb’s name was officially gazetted on 15 January 1974.
