Overview

Forrest is one of Canberra’s most socio‑economically advantaged suburbs, ranked second nationally after neighbouring Barton. The 2021 census recorded 1,827 residents, 42.5 % of whom are professionals and many work in central government administration. The streets follow Griffin’s original circular and geometric layout, giving the area a historic charm that can be a little confusing to navigate. Large heritage‑protected precincts, such as the Blandfordia and Forrest Housing Precincts, enhance the prestige of this “old Deakin” and “old Red Hill” enclave.
