The name "Yerrabi" is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "go", "walk" and "to leave". Yerrabi pond is one of the major water features of the Gungahlin District.
Yerrabi covers Gungahlin and Hall in Canberra’s north, along with Giralang and Kaleen on the Belconnen side. It represents Canberra’s growing northern suburbs, from established areas like Kaleen to newer communities such as Taylor, Throsby and Moncrieff.

The name "Ginninderra" is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "sparkling like the stars". It is the name given to the creek that flows through the middle of Belconnen, which was dammed to form Lake Ginninderra, the lake on which the Belconnen Town Centre is sited.
Ginninderra covers most of Belconnen, including the town centre and surrounding suburbs, excluding Giralang and Kaleen. It represents Canberra’s north-west, from inner Belconnen suburbs like Aranda and Bruce through to outer suburbs such as Charnwood, Dunlop and Strathnairn.
The name "Kurrajong" is derived from an Aboriginal word for the tree (Brachychiton populneus, meaning "shade tree") and also Kurrajong Hill, the name early settlers used for Capital Hill, the location of Parliament House.
Kurrajong covers most of inner Canberra, including the city centre, many inner north and inner south suburbs, and the Majura, Kowen, and Jerrabomberra districts, including Hume. It includes places like Braddon, Dickson, Kingston, Griffith and Watson, as well as Canberra Airport and Oaks Estate.
The name "Murrumbidgee" is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "big water". It is the name of the river that flows through the electorate.
Murrumbidgee covers Weston Creek, Woden Valley and Molonglo Valley, along with Stromlo, Coree and the inner south suburbs of Deakin, Forrest, Red Hill and Yarralumla. It stretches from established south-west suburbs like Curtin, Garran and Mawson to newer Molonglo communities such as Coombs, Denman Prospect, Whitlam and Wright.
The name "Brindabella" is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "two kangaroo rats". For generations of Canberrans, Brindabella is the name associated with the mountain range which dominates the southern horizon of Canberra City.
Brindabella centres on Tuggeranong and Canberra’s far south, including suburbs such as Kambah, Wanniassa, Greenway, Calwell, Conder and Banks, along with Tharwa, Paddy’s River and Namadgi National Park. It brings together the suburban heart of Tuggeranong with the ACT’s far southern bushland, rural and border communities.
