The property is located in the suburb of Spence, which forms part of the Belconnen district of Canberra, ACT.
Mount Rogers is about 0.7 km away, as are the neighbouring suburbs of Fraser and Spence itself. Flynn lies roughly 1.2 km away, Melba about 1.7 km, and Charnwood is around 2 km distant.
The area sits on Silurian‑age Hawkins Volcanics, featuring green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite in the centre and west. To the southeast there is a green‑grey dacitic porphyry intrusive rock with white feldspar crystals, and a small shale lens patch exists in the south‑central part.
Spence was gazetted on 2 November 1972 and its streets are named after trade unionists. Originally named after William Spence, the suburb was co‑named in 2023 to also honour suffragette Catherine Helen Spence.
For federal elections, Spence falls within the Division of Fenner. In ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it is part of the Ginninderra electorate.
A local shopping centre nearby offers a butcher, hairdresser, bakery, chemist, supermarket, and a petrol station, with a coffee shop inside the supermarket. The suburb also features a community‑run café called "Coffee Corner", a neighbourhood oval, a water‑tower reserve, and a CSIRO property close by.
