Reliable Pest Control Services in Bonython

Bonython is a suburb of Tuggeranong, a township in southern Canberra, capital city of Australia.

The suburb is named after Sir John Langdon Bonython, the owner of The Advertiser (Adelaide) who promoted Federation, and was a member of the first Australian parliament. Original concept plans for Tuggeranong indicate that the suburb was initially to be known as "Stranger". The name "Bonython" was declared when it was gazetted as a suburb of Canberra on 17 October 1986. Streets in Bonython are named after prominent South Australians, particularly journalists, and South Australian Districts and Rivers.

Prior to 1986, the land upon which Bonython now sits was grazing land, mainly grassland with scattered eucalypt trees. By 1989 construction of houses and the Lower Stranger Pond water quality control pond began and Canberra’s newest suburb was born.

On 18 January 2003 the disastrous Canberra bushfire reached Bonython late in the afternoon. By that time, the winds had eased and the fire intensity was such that, where the fire reached housing on the western and southern fringes, residents were able to keep the fire at bay at their fencelines.

Like many Canberra suburbs, Bonython accommodates a dormitory community, with the working population commuting to places of employment in nearby Tuggeranong or elsewhere within Canberra or Queanbeyan (a nearby city in New South Wales). The suburb is conveniently close to a number of major employers in the nearby Tuggeranong Town Centre (distance 1–2 kilometres). Employment in the Town Centre is provided by a number of Commonwealth government agencies, such as Services Australia and the Department of Social Services as well as numerous retail outlets in and around the South.Point Tuggeranong shopping mall. Many Bonython residents can walk to work – a rare luxury in a city designed in the 20th century primarily for car transportation.
