The surface of the suburb is covered by alluvium, while the surrounding hills consist of Deakin Volcanics that erupted during the Silurian age, about 414 million years ago.
Banks was gazetted on 12 March 1987 and is named after Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who sailed with Captain James Cook to Botany Bay in 1770.
