Banks is the most southerly suburb of Canberra, bordered by Box Hill Avenue, Tom Roberts Avenue and Tharwa Drive. It lies adjacent to the suburbs of Conder and Gordon and gently slopes to the west‑northwest.
The suburb was named after Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who sailed with Captain James Cook to Botany Bay in 1770. The street names in the area continue the botanical and natural‑history theme.
