Life in the City


Welcome to In the City Canberra

This site is designed to tell you know all you need to know about the City Centre. You will find information about what’s on in the City, about all the businesses and life in the City.

You will also find the details regarding Canberra CBD Limited, the organisation set up to administer the Marketing and Improvements Levy.

In research conducted by Canberra CBD Limited the community differentiates “The City” from other centres around Canberra for its central location, quality and variety.

One resident quoted “Living in the CBD you are close to everything – work, shopping, eating, entertainment, socialising and the facilities you need and want are all nearby, you are even close to the bush and the lake.”

Property owners see the CBD as offering critical mass and prestige/quality. These factors, along with the geographically central location, are seen to also contribute to making the CBD attractive for tenants and their clients/customers.

If you would like more details of the research.
