Shirley Street is lined with the mature pine and gum trees that were originally planted as a wind‑break for the 1930s CSIRO research facility; a current program is replacing the aging gums with locally suited varieties. The street lies within a residential enclave that includes a local oval surrounded by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets and a refurbished shopping centre now home to a café and a veterinary clinic, highlighted by a bronze kangaroo sculpture.

Its location inside Downer gives easy access to the suburb’s main arteries, Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue, and places the Metro stop on Swinden Street just 0.8 km away. Nearby amenities such as the Dickson Centre, Dickson Library, and the Dickson District Playing Fields round out the convenience of the neighbourhood.
