South Canberra or the Inner South is a central district of Canberra, the capital city of Australia.
South Canberra is located to the south of Canberra's city centre, on the south bank of Lake Burley Griffin.
It is one of the oldest parts of Canberra, and is built in part in accordance to Walter Burley Griffin's designs. Unlike the later districts in Canberra that are built as separate satellite cities, South Canberra is only separated from North Canberra by Lake Burley Griffin. The two districts combined form the district of Central Canberra and share Civic as their central commercial area.
According to the 2011 Census, South Canberra's population was 24,154.
In 1984 the National Capital Development Commission commissioned the identification and documentation of sites of significance in the ACT. The results for Inner Canberra were published in 1988. Sites with both natural and cultural significance were identified. Many of these are listed on the ACT Heritage Register.
