About Taylor
Taylor is a modern residential suburb in the Gungahlin district of Canberra, located approximately 17 kilometres north of the Canberra CBD (Civic) and around 4 kilometres from the Gungahlin Town Centre. Development of the suburb began in 2017 and it had already grown to a population of 2,220 by the 2021 Census, making it one of Canberra's newest and fastest-growing residential areas. Named after pioneering Australian publisher Florence Mary Taylor, the suburb features contemporary housing estates bounded to the south by Horse Park Drive, with One Tree Hill rising to the north-west.
Taylor residents benefit from close proximity to the Gungahlin Town Centre, which offers major supermarkets, restaurants and cafés, medical services, the Gungahlin Library and a leisure centre. ACTION bus services link the suburb to the Gungahlin interchange, from where Canberra's Capital Metro light rail connects directly to the city centre. As a developing suburb, Taylor has a young and growing community with modern parks and shared pathways integrated into the estate design, attracting young families and professionals drawn by Canberra's affordability relative to Sydney.
Taylor falls under postcode 2913 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Yerrabi electorate.
