Belconnen is a district of Canberra, the Capital city of Australia, comprising 25 suburbs with 29,900 dwellings housing 82,247 people of the 311,518 people in the Australian Capital Territory (June 2001 Census). Belconnen is situated to the north-west of Canberra's city centre, and surrounds Lake Ginninderra (artificial) on Ginninderra Creek that runs north-west towards the Molonglo River and then into the Murrumbidgee River.'

The centre of Belconnen is Lake Ginninderra, which has on its southern shore the Belconnen mall and a number of other retail premises.

Belconnen consists of 25 suburbs, the majority of which are characterised by predominantly by detached single family homes on suburban blocks. Some suburbs also have pockets of medium density units or town houses, such as in Hawker and Holt. Significant pockets of multi-unit medium density housing exist in the suburb of Belconnen, and the northern section of Bruce. In both of these suburbs, the bulk of housing is medium density. Residential development is still taking place in the central suburb of Bruce and the outer suburb of Dunlop in 2005. There is no industry in Belconnen, other than the occasional auto workshop of similar service. Several of these are located in the Belconnen Town Centre.

Belconnen is well served by a network of near-freeway-quality roads located between suburbs and intersecting the district. The main roads between suburbs are typically landscaped with mounds of earth and vegetation to form ‘parkways’. The main roads connecting the district with North Canberra and the city centre are Belconnen Way and Ginninderra Drive. These roads are 6 lane parkways for the majority of their length and run in an east-west direction. Belconnen is situated south of the Barton Highway which leads to Yass, where it connects with the Hume Highway to Sydney and Melbourne. To the south of the district is William Hovell Drive which connects the southern and western suburbs of Belconnen with Parkes Way and the Tuggeranong Parkway which lead to the city centre and Canberra’s southern districts respectively.

The primary mode of transport within the District is by private vehicle. The District of Belconnen was planned in the 1960’s and was guided by a philosophy of reliance on private personal transport and an abundance of roads. Public buses serve the district and a bus interchange exists in the Town Centre.

The ACTION bus service which provides public transport throughout Canberra is the only form of regularly scheduled public transport in Belconnen. Services from the various suburbs generally pass through a bus interchange at Belconnen Town Centre from where they continue to Civic and the other town centres to Canberra’s south. Some services travel to Gungahlin. There are also express services which connect directly with Tuggeranong. The bus interchange located in the Belconnen Town centre is connected by foot bridge to large shopping centre and to office buildings occupied by major Government departments. It is an ageing facility which has been earmarked for major renovations. It has been criticised for being unsafe, particularly at night, and for being dirty and prone to vandalism.
