The Australian National Botanic Gardens Precinct lies on the eastern slopes of Black Mountain. The Precinct is bound by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Black Mountain campus to the north‑east, Clunies Ross Street and Parkes Way to the east and south, and the upper slopes of Black Mountain to the north and west.

4.10.2 Background
The Australian National Botanic Gardens (the Gardens) enjoy a prominent position within the Central National Area of the National Capital.  The location of the Gardens on the slopes of Black Mountain and in close proximity to Lake Burley Griffin gives a rare scenic beauty to the Precinct.  The predominant landscape environment and the sensitive siting of buildings under the natural tree cover further enhance the setting.
The Gardens have been consistently planned to serve as a scientific institution with an educational role while also providing visitors with a quiet natural haven complete with walking trails and picnic spots. Looking from the Gardens across Lake Burley Griffin, one can see such Canberra landmarks as Parliament House, and the National Library. Although somewhat camouflaged by the leafy canopy, the Gardens are visible from vantage points all around Lake Burley Griffin and the Central National Area, and including other locations such as the Australian National University, City and the CSIRO.
As a key feature of the original Griffin plan, the Gardens have special national significance. Situated partly within the original location and on adjacent land on the lower slopes of Black Mountain, the Gardens fulfil their role as a landscape backdrop to central Canberra. A favourable micro‑climate allows an unequalled array of native flora to flourish thereby contributing positively to the character of the capital.
The gardens were included in the Griffin plan because they were an important element in a relationship which united the National Triangle, the Central National Area and other Designated Areas.
