Overview

Palmerston is a primarily residential suburb in Canberra’s Gungahlin district, offering a blend of single‑family homes and duplexes centred around a modest medical, shopping and community hub. Families benefit from the nearby Palmerston District Primary School, opened in 1995, and a large neighbourhood oval that sits alongside the school, while additional education options such as Burgmann Anglican School lie within a kilometre. Green‑belt features, including scattered plum and apple trees, create a leafy ambience, and a network of cyclepaths with pedestrian underpasses links the area to surrounding parks like George Kemp Park and Girrawah Park.

Good transport options connect Palmerston to the wider region. ACTION bus routes 21 and 22 travel along Kosciuszko Avenue, complemented by routes 23 and 24 serving the suburb’s western side, providing direct service to Gungahlin Town Centre, Franklin and Nicholls. The suburb is bounded by Gungahlin Drive and Gundaroo Drive, placing the Marketplace Gungahlin shopping centre and the Gungahlin Place light‑rail stop just a short distance away, while ample cycle infrastructure encourages easy, active travel.
