About ACT Remainder - Majura

ACT Remainder - Majura is a large, sparsely settled locality in the District of Majura in the Australian Capital Territory, situated approximately 9 kilometres east of the Canberra CBD. Covering over 82 square kilometres, the area is not generally zoned for residential development, partly due to the presence of Canberra Airport, which lies within its boundary and serves as Australia's capital city's main gateway for both domestic and international flights. The small recorded population of around 161 primarily includes workers associated with the airport, defence facilities, and industrial land uses in the precinct.

The locality is traversed by the Majura Parkway, a major arterial road opened in 2016 that provides fast connections between the Monaro Highway and Barton Highway, making the area an important transport corridor for the ACT. The Majura Valley contains some rural land and light industrial development, while the broader area also borders the Majura Military Area. With its proximity to the airport and major road infrastructure, the precinct attracts logistics, warehousing, and commercial aviation businesses rather than residential communities.

ACT Remainder - Majura falls under postcode 2609 and lies within an unincorporated area with no local council. For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Canberra, while state elections fall under the Kurrajong electorate.
