Ainslie Suburb Overview

Ainslie is a leafy suburb of Canberra, Australia in the North Canberra district.

The suburb is bounded by Limestone Avenue and Majura Avenue to the west and north, Phillip Avenue to the north-east, Mount Ainslie to the east and Quick Street to the south.

Ainslie is within walking distance of the City, the nature trails of Mount Ainslie, the Australian War Memorial and the many restaurants of Dickson. It has many attractions: a central location, with equally easy access to the CBD and the bush trails of Mount Ainslie;the abundance of charming early twentieth-century, heritage-listed houses;mature street trees and general leafiness;and a vibrant local shopping centre.

The local shops are located in the middle of Ainslie. The suburb has a playschool, a preschool, the Ainslie Football Club, and the Ainslie Fire Station, which serves the North Canberra area. The North Ainslie Primary School is located in the suburb, but Ainslie School, one of Canberra’s oldest, is located in Braddon on the western side of Limestone Ave. Similarly, ‘Ainslie Village’ – an ACT Government centre which provides accommodation for people with special needs – is in the neighbouring suburb of Campbell.

Ainslie residents can access Mount Ainslie simply by walking uphill. There is an easy paved walk to the top, and also a “goat track” straight up the side of the hill. Kangaroos come down from the mountain at night and eat grass from the nature strips in front of local houses.

The Anglican All Saints Church, built in the 1860s of stone, is located on Cowper Street in Ainslie. It was relocated from Sydney in 1957 and originally served as the railway terminus at Rookwood Cemetery.

The Ainslie Arts Centre now occupies the former Ainslie Primary School, the first such school in the ACT.

The suburb is characterised by leafy streets, and mainly by detached single dwelling houses. Many see a “village” atmosphere around the many small parks. Ainslie has experienced ‘in-fill’ development in recent years, both in the form of dual occupancy dwellings and medium-density development, especially at the Limestone Avenue ends of Cowper Street and Angus Street and, more recently, on the site of the former service station at the Ainslie shops.

The suburb was named after James Ainslie, a veteran of the Battle of Waterloo, the ” first overseer of ‘Duntroon Station’ in Canberra who was employed by Robert Campbell in 1825 to drive a mob of sheep south from Bathurst ‘until he found suitable land;Ainslie chose the Limestone Plains and was overseer for ten years before returning to Scotland. “

The division name Ainslie was gazetted by the Government in 1928. The streets of Ainslie are named after pioneers and legislators. It has many heritage listed homes, mainly clustered around three precincts centred on Alt Crescent, Corroboree Park and Wakefield Gardens. Heritage parts of the suburb were gazetted onto the ACT Government’s Heritage Register in 2004.

James Ainslie was reputed to have camped in 1825 under gum trees at what is now Corroboree Park. Iris Carnell, born in 1900 and one of the original inhabitants of Paterson Street in the 1920s, recounted in ‘Voices of Old Ainslie’ that her mother, Celia Tong, born at Lanyon in 1871, remembered as a little girl what is now Corroboree Park as a scene of aboriginal corroborees. She said the aborigines used to sit around the tree now near the barbecues which has four trees growing from its centre.
