Charnwood was designed using the Radburn principle, with houses facing common parkland and streets servicing rear garages. The original pathway network was intended to let residents walk from any point in the suburb to another without crossing a road, using pedestrian bridges where needed.
For federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. In the ACT Legislative Assembly, it belongs to the Ginninderra electorate.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these volcanics, and Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are found on the opposite side of the fault.
