The property occupies 606 square metres of land, providing a generous footprint within the Watson suburb.
ACTION bus routes R9 and 50 run through Watson, while route 53 serves Antill Street nearby. Phillip Avenue is also serviced by the Canberra Light Rail line connecting Civic and Gungahlin Town Centre.
Justice Robert Hope Park is about 0.6 km away, Calvert Park is roughly 1.5 km distant, and the Dickson District Playing Fields are around 1.4 km from the property. Dickson Wetland lies approximately 1.6 km to the north.
Watson hosts a local shopping centre, Prime7 television studios, and the Canberra Technology Park (home to the Academy of Interactive Entertainment). The former Starlight Drive‑In site, now a medium‑density housing complex, is about 1.4 km away, and Exhibition Park, a major event venue, is roughly 1.5 km distant.
Watson was gazetted on 7 April 1960 and is named after Australia’s third Prime Minister, John Christian Watson. The suburb’s streets honour Australian judges and legal professionals, and it once featured the Canberra Hog Farm and the Starlight Drive‑In cinema before redevelopment.
The site rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain in places by Quaternary alluvium. This geological profile includes the limestone that gave Canberra its original nickname, “Limestone Plains.”
