This week âCityNewsâ speaks to just some of the many businesses located in Woden. This is a sponsored post.
LOCATED 10 minutes from the centre of Canberra, the development of Woden began in 1962, a year before its first residents arrived in 1963.
Planned as a series of 10 suburbs (thereâs now 12), Hughes, Curtin, Chifley and Lyons were among the first built.
At the time it was estimated that 90,000 people would eventually live in the area but by 2016 the population had only reached 34,760, according to the census.
Separate from Civic, Woden Valley was planned as a satellite city, with its own shopping centre, employment opportunities and suburbs located around the town centre in Woden.
