Melbourne Avenue forms a central axis of Forrest’s Garden City precinct, echoing Griffin’s 1913 radiating design with circular and geometric street patterns that can feel labyrinthine to drivers. The avenue is flanked by a heritage‑rich streetscape of 1920s‑era separate houses, semi‑detached terraces and modern flats, all framed by protected street furniture and native‑plant landscaping that recalls the suburb’s original public‑servant settlement.

The street enjoys convenient bus links via nearby Empire Circuit and Arthur Circle shelters, while residents walk to the Manuka shopping centre, Forrest Primary School and cultural sites such as St Christopher’s Cathedral and the Free Serbian Orthodox Church, underscoring the area’s well‑served, prestigious character.
