Palmerston is bounded by Gungahlin Drive to the north and Gundaroo Drive to the south. These arterial roads give residents easy access to the wider Canberra region.
ACTION bus routes 21, 22, 23 and 24 run along Kosciuszko Avenue, linking Palmerston with Gungahlin Town Centre, Franklin and Nicholls. This provides regular connections for commuters and shoppers.
Ginninderra Park is about 0.9 km away, Girrawah Park is roughly 1.0 km distant, and Violets Park can be reached in around 1.5‑2 km. These green spaces offer walking tracks, playgrounds and open fields.
The suburb sits on the Canberra Formation from the late middle Silurian age, primarily composed of slaty shale and mudstone. Surface exposures of folded ashstone, shaped like an ear of corn, are also present in the region.
At the heart of Palmerston there are small medical, shopping and community centres, plus a network of cyclepaths with pedestrian underpasses. Fruit trees such as plums and apples line many of the public thoroughfares.
Palmerston is named after George Thomas Palmer (1784–1854), an early settler who established a settlement called Palmerville in 1826, later renamed Ginninderra. The suburb was officially gazetted on 20 March 1991.
