1 Sherwin Place, Melba ACT 2615, Australia
1 Sherwin Place is a stand‑alone house situated on a 788 m² parcel of land. It offers a spacious lot typical of the Melba suburb.
Melba is named after Dame Nellie Melba, the first internationally recognised Australian opera soprano. The suburb’s streets also honour composers, singers and other musically notable Australians.
The Melba Tennis Club, with its eight courts, is adjacent to the local playing fields. Nearby parks such as George Simpson Park and The Boslem and Harte Park provide open green space within a few kilometres.
Melba contains a porphyry of green‑grey dacitic intrusive rock with large white feldspar crystals in its north‑east corner, as well as green‑grey dacitic tuff from the Hawkins Volcanics on the south‑east side. The Deakin Fault runs north‑west through the suburb, marked by quartz, and there are exposures of purple rhyodacite from the Deakin Volcanics.
For Australian federal elections, Melba is part of the Division of Fenner. In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
The MELBA weather station on Verbrugghen Street is located about 0.5 km away, providing local climate data for the area.
Melba is surrounded by several suburbs, including Flynn (approximately 1 km), Evatt (about 1.2 km), and Spence (roughly 1.5 km), all reachable within a few minutes by car.
