Lyneham developed from the late 1950s onward, combining leafy, established gardens with newer townhouse developments. The suburb retains a mix of original post‑war homes and modern renovations, reflecting its evolving character.
The suburb sits on Silurian calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, with Ordovician greywacke present in the north‑west. This geology underlies the historic reference to Canberra as the ‘Limestone Plains.’
