The suburb is named after artist Charles Conder with the street names also following the theme of artists, including other members of the Heidelberg School such as Russell Drysdale and Tom Roberts
Other suburbs in the Tuggeranong area include Gordon, Calwell, Theodore and Banks.
The Heidelberg School, of which Charles Conder was a founder, was Australia’s first significant art movement and, although it sounds like something inspired by German art, is actually just named after the Melbourne suburb of the same name. Very Australian!
