Dunlop (postcode: 2615) is a suburb of the
Belconnen district of Canberra, located within
the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
Dunlop is at the far north-west edge of
Canberra, near the border with the state of
New South Wales. Approximately 11.6
kilometres (7.2 mi) north-west of the city,
Dunlop is next to the suburbs of Fraser,
Charnwood and Macgregor. At the edge and
within Dunlop lies the Canberra Nature Park
called Dunlop Grasslands Nature Reserve,
West Belconnen Ponds, Jarramlee Pond and
Fassifern Pond which are part of the
Ginninderra Catchment.
The suburb of Dunlop has been designed to
have a number of 'estates' which are small
areas within the suburb. Some estates range
from the beginning of the development of
Dunlop and number around 50 houses to
the recent development of Ginninderra Ponds
with house numbering around in the 100s. All
the estates entrances have unique signs
and features.
