About Evatt
Where to stay in Evatt
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Belconnen is the practical answer. Evatt is residential ground with nothing in the record to mark a centre of its own, so the district around it holds whatever choice of beds exists. The name works twice over.
Belconnen is both the district Evatt belongs to and one of the suburbs beside it, and the others, McKellar, Florey, Melba and Spence, sit close enough that a room in any of them leaves Evatt's streets within an easy drive.
About Evatt
What are the main landmarks in Evatt?
No entry on any landmark list. Evatt carries no church, hill or heritage building in the record, and the maps of the Belconnen district show a residential layout with no marked structure standing inside its boundary. The interest lies outward.
McKellar, Florey, Melba and Spence adjoin it on the surrounding sides, so anything a visitor to Evatt sets out to see is reached by crossing into a neighbouring suburb of Canberra rather than by walking to the end of the street.
What is the history of Evatt?
Evatt dates from 1972, one of the Belconnen suburbs laid down as Canberra spread across that district. The record keeps it brief. What the Australian Capital Territory sets out about the place is its position between McKellar, Belconnen, Florey, Melba and Spence, and beyond that the suburb's past is the ordinary story of a planned Canberra neighbourhood filling with housing.
Where is Evatt?
Neighbours on every side. Evatt occupies part of the Belconnen district of Canberra, with McKellar, Florey, Melba and Spence around it.
