Beau and Jessi Park is the closest green space, situated about 0.5 km from the house. A slightly larger option, Gordonvale Park, lies roughly 1.3 km away.
A small shopping centre on Pockett Avenue serves the area, featuring a SUPAEXPRESS supermarket, two take‑away food shops, and a pet grooming business. Residents can reach it on foot within a few minutes.
To the east of Banks lies the Rob Roy Nature Reserve, part of Canberra Nature Park, which includes Mt Rob Roy. The nearby Big Monks mountain offers a gliding stage popular with paragliders and hang‑gliders.
Banks was officially gazetted on 12 March 1987. The suburb is named in honour of Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who accompanied Captain James Cook to Botany Bay in 1770.
The surface geology of Banks consists of alluvium deposits. Beneath this layer, the surrounding hills are formed from the Silurian‑age Deakin Volcanics, which erupted around 414 million years ago.
