Forrest is one of the few suburbs built to Canberra’s original plan, featuring circular and geometric street layouts and a strong Garden City heritage. It is recognised as one of the most socio‑economically advantaged areas in Australia.
The suburb’s streets follow a confusing mix of circular and geometric patterns derived from Walter Burley Griffin’s 1913 design, so drivers may find the layout a bit challenging at first.
Yes, the Forrest Housing Precinct is subject to conservation controls that preserve its historic Garden City character, street furniture, and early 20th‑century landscaping.
