Florey was gazetted on 5 August 1975 and most homes were built in the mid‑1980s. The suburb is named after Nobel laureate Howard Florey and its streets honour Australian scientists.
Florey is connected by three ACTION bus routes – Route 2, Route 3 and Route 40 – providing regular service to nearby Belconnen Town Centre and other parts of Canberra.
The Hindu Temple and Cultural Centre on Ratcliffe Crescent is a notable cultural site, and the Florey shopping centre on Kesteven Street and Ratcliffe Crescent includes a bronze plaque celebrating Lord Florey’s scientific legacy.
In 2018 the ACT Healthy Waterways Project restored parts of the concrete drainage channel along Tattersall Crescent, creating a more natural creek‑like environment that helps filter stormwater before it reaches Ginninderra Creek.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, including green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite of the Hawkins Volcanics, calcareous shale from the Yass Subgroup, and various rhyodacite and rhyolite formations.
