high technology, manufacturing, service, retail and agriculture. It is the
council seat of the Queanbeyan City Council. At the 2011 census, Queanbeyan had

capital, just 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) to the west, Queanbeyan has become an
integral part of the capital city's economy. The word Queanbeyan is the
anglicised form of Quinbean – an Aboriginal word meaning "clear waters".
