The home sits on an 800 m² block, offering a modestly sized yard within the suburb.
It is located in Banks, the most southerly suburb of Canberra, adjacent to Conder and Gordon and bounded by Box Hill Avenue, Tom Roberts Avenue, and Tharwa Drive.
Beau and Jessi Park is about 0.6 km away, Gordonvale Park lies roughly 1.3 km distant, and the local Banks Oval hosts community events and athletics.
A small shopping centre on Pockett Avenue provides a SUPAEXPRESS supermarket, two takeaway food shops, and a pet grooming outlet, all within easy walking distance.
To the east of the suburb lies the Rob Roy Nature Reserve, part of Canberra Nature Park, and the smaller mountain Big Monks, which features a gliding stage for paragliders and hang‑gliders.
The surface geology is alluvium across the suburb, while the surrounding hills consist of Deakin Volcanics that erupted during the Silurian age, about 414 million years ago.
Street names in the suburb are based on botany or natural history, reflecting its namesake Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who sailed with Captain Cook.
