Latham, Australian Capital Territory

Latham (/ˈleɪθəm/) is a residential suburb in the Belconnen district of Canberra, located within the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Ginninderra Creek runs through Latham, and there are open areas of grassland adjacent, such as the Umbagong district park.

From the mid-1970s Latham had a local shopping centre (supermarket, butcher, Chinese restaurant, chemist (later a school uniform/limited sportswear store), hair dresser, bakery, newsagent, doctor's surgery (later physiotherapist) and post office), and a petrol/service station (closed in early 1993).

After the fire, the owners moved the schoolwear and post office business to the vacant petrol station site.

[5] For the purposes of Australian Capital Territory elections for the ACT Legislative Assembly, Latham is in the Ginninderra electorate.
