Within 2 km you’ll find several parks, including Calvert Park (≈1.1 km), Justice Robert Hope Park (≈1.3 km), Bill Pye Park (≈1.8 km) and the Dickson District Playing Fields (≈1.5 km). The suburb also has its own neighbourhood oval and is close to Mount Majura for bushwalking.
St Margaret’s Uniting Church is about 0.9 km away, and Hackett’s local shopping centre is within the suburb itself. The area is also near the Dickson College campus (≈1.1 km) and various bus shelters, such as the Officer Crescent stop (≈1.7 km).
Hackett sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. The higher eastern side, close to the property, rests on the lowest layer of the Ainslie Volcanics, a grey dacite with agglomerate and tuff.
Hackett is a highly educated and economically advantaged suburb; in the 2016 Census, 53 % of adults held a university degree and the unemployment rate was about 2.6 %. Median personal incomes are roughly 1.6 times the national average, placing Hackett among the top 5 % of Australia’s most advantaged suburbs.
