South Canberra is located to the south of Canberra's city centre and is on the south bank of Lake Burley Griffin.
It is one of the oldest parts of Canberra and is built in part in accordance with Walter Burley Griffin's designs. Unlike the later districts in Canberra that are built as separate satellite cities, South Canberra is only separated from North Canberra only by Lake Burley Griffin. The two districts combined form the district of Central Canberra and share Civic as their central commercial area.
According to the 2016 census, South Canberra's population was 27,007.
