Within Spence you’ll find a local shopping centre with a butcher, hairdresser, baker, chemist, supermarket and petrol station, plus a coffee shop. A donation‑only café called “Coffee Corner” is run by the Mount Rogers Community (Anglican) Church, and the Tongan Community Centre on Copland Drive was rebuilt in 2007.
Mount Rogers hill is about 0.5 km away, offering a natural high point, while George Simpson Park lies roughly 1.9 km from the house. The suburb also has a neighbourhood oval bordering Clarey Crescent, though it has been in disrepair since the early 2000s.
Spence sits on Silurian‑age Hawkins Volcanics, including green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite in the centre and west, a green‑grey dacitic porphyry intrusive rock with white feldspar crystals to the southeast, and a small shale lens patch in the south‑central part.
Spence was originally named after William Spence (1846‑1926), a founder of the Australian Workers’ Union and the first member elected for the area to the Australian House of Representatives. In 2023 the suburb was co‑named to also honour suffragette Catherine Helen Spence.
For federal elections the house is in the Division of Fenner, and for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
A CSIRO property lies close to the suburb, and the National Health Co‑op branch in Evatt is about 1.4 km away. Educational facilities such as Copland College (1.4 km) and several primary schools are also within a 1‑2 km radius.
