The surface geology of Banks is alluvium covering the suburb. Beneath this layer, the surrounding hills consist of Deakin Volcanics, volcanic rocks formed during the Silurian age about 414 million years ago.
Banks has a small shopping centre on Pockett Avenue that includes two takeaway food outlets, a pet‑grooming shop, and a SUPAEXPRESS supermarket, providing convenient daily necessities.
Banks was gazetted on 12 March 1987 and is named after Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who accompanied Captain James Cook to Botany Bay in 1770.
