The Charnwood centre shopping area is close by and includes several fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station and a branch of the Labor Club. These services cater to daily shopping and dining needs.
An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue units opened in October 2013 and is located at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive, adjacent to the Charnwood shops.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields are nearby, serving as the home ground for the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club during the track season (October – March). The fields offer space for community sport and events.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses were intended to face common parkland and garages were positioned at the rear. Although the concept was later altered by private fences, the original layout aimed for pedestrian pathways that avoid direct road crossings.
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, primarily Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these volcanic rocks, with Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite found on the opposite side.
For federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
