Canberra is Australia's purpose-built capital, a planned city of broad boulevards, world-class institutions, and exceptional natural surroundings. As the seat of the federal government, Canberra's economy is anchored by public service employment that generates Australia's highest median household incomes and creates extraordinary stability in the property market. The Australian National University, multiple research institutions, and a growing technology sector diversify the economic base. Canberra's residents enjoy exceptional liveability — proximity to the Snowy Mountains for skiing, the NSW South Coast for beaches, and a compact city with outstanding restaurants, wineries, and cultural institutions. The property market, while expensive, has a strong history of consistent long-term capital growth.
