In 2018 the ACT Healthy Waterways Project restored sections of the concrete drainage channel along Tattersall Crescent, returning it to a more natural creek‑like state and improving storm‑water quality flowing into Ginninderra Creek.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, including green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite of the Hawkins Volcanics, calcareous shale, various rhyodacite and rhyolite types, and is traversed by the Deakin Fault.
