The City Centre
Canberra's central business district (‘City’ also known as ‘Civic’) is the main commercial centre in Canberra. It is larger than the town centres and contains many government departments, large office buildings and retail outlets such as department stores and specialty stores and recreational facilities such as cinemas, bars, nightclubs, restaurants and theatres. It is the site of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly, the Canberra Theatre and Playhouse, Territory Courts, and the Federal Court (although the High Court is located in the Parliamentary Triangle).

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or centre:
“When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town;”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
“Belief and love,—a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the centre of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe.”
