Canberra Central, Administrative district in Australian Capital Territory, Australia
The district encompasses North and South Canberra divisions with multiple sections and blocks within the borders of Australia's capital city.
The Commonwealth established the district through the Districts Ordinance 1966, following the transfer of land from New South Wales to federal control in 1911.
The Ngunawal people maintained traditional custodianship of the land before European settlement transformed it into an administrative region.
The district contains Canberra City center, also known as Civic, which serves as the primary commercial and business zone for the territory.
The population of 92,780 residents represents 20.5 percent of the Australian Capital Territory, with higher median incomes than national statistics.
