Forrest was one of the few suburbs built to Canberra’s original plan, featuring circular and geometric street layouts that can be confusing to drive. It is one of Australia’s most socio‑economically advantaged areas and retains a strong Garden‑City heritage.
The suburb’s layout follows Walter Burley Griffin’s 1913 design with concentric circles and radiating avenues. Many homes, including those in the Forrest Housing Precinct, showcase early 1920s Garden‑City principles and native‑plant landscaping.
