About Phillip
Phillip is the commercial heart of Canberra's Woden Valley district, located 9 kilometres south of the city centre. With around 5,200 residents and a strong median income of approximately $64,000, it's notable for having 67% of its population living in apartments—unusually high for Canberra. The suburb centres on Woden Town Centre, one of Canberra's major regional shopping destinations.
Westfield Woden anchors the retail offering, complemented by government offices and services that provide local employment. The suburb's apartment-dominated housing attracts young professionals, public servants, and those seeking urban convenience in a typically car-dependent city. Phillip offers something different in Canberra—genuine town centre living with comprehensive amenities and excellent public transport connections.
Phillip falls under postcode 2606 and is governed by Unincorporated Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murrumbidgee electorate.
