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 to help clean stormwater flowing into Ginninderra Creek.
The area is built on Silurian‑age rocks, including green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite of the Hawkins Volcanics, calcareous shale of the Yass Subgroup, and various rhyodacite and rhyolite formations.
