The Charnwood centre shopping area, featuring fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station and the local Labor Club, is within the suburb. An emergency services station (ambulance, fire and rescue) is also situated near the shops at the corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses were intended to face common parkland and garages were placed at the rear. In practice, many owners built fences around the park side, creating narrow walkways with limited lighting.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these volcanic rocks, and Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are found on the opposite side of the fault.
Yes, the Charnwood District Playing Fields are nearby and serve as the home ground for the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March).
