List of tallest buildings in Canberra
This list of tallest buildings in Canberra ranks the tallest in Australia's capital city by height. This ranking system, created by the US-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat includes the height to a spire but not to an antenna.[1] The Lovett Tower, at 93 metres (305 ft) and 26 storeys, is the tallest in the city. It is in the Woden Town Centre, a commercial district of Canberra.
