Woden Town Centre is located in the district of Woden in Canberra, Australia. The building of Woden was begun in the 1960s. Woden Town Centre is technically located within the Canberra suburb of Phillip, although it is thought of as being a town centre, not part of a suburb.
Woden has a main shopping mall, Westfield Woden which has department stores such as Harvey Norman, David Jones and BIG W, Hoyts cinemas and many other stores on several levels. Separate buildings house multi-storey car parks. There is a police station and public library nearby. Woden also has a large bus interchange for ACTION buses.
The tallest building in Canberra, the 25-story (90m high) Lovett Tower is located at Woden. The Woden Town Park is located across Callam street, although infrequently used because of its location away from the major shopping areas. A number of other buildings are located in Woden mainly housing government offices; the Sirius Building, Scarborough House, Fishburn House, Juliana House, Bonner House and Albemarle Building.
The Department of Health and Ageing, Centrelink, the Department of Veterans Affairs and Intellectual Property Australia are all headquartered around the Woden Town Centre.
