It is hard to say when a currently existing city is fully built, as changes are still occurring in Canberra as the city expands.

On 1 January 1911, the Federal Capital Territory was established as an area of 2 360 square kilometres in the Yass-Canberra district. The first survey peg marking the beginning of the development of the city of Canberra was driven in on 20 February 1913. Central Canberra (inner north and southern suburbs) was settled in the 1920s, and developed until the 1960s (with an 80s addition of North Lyneham).

The history of Canberra's continued development is as follows:

Belconnen: Development started in the 60s until today

Woden: 60s-90s-today

Tuggeranong: 80s-today

Weston Creek: 70s-today

Gungahlin: 90s-today

Further regional cities continue to be built today.
