Browse property in Banks Street

Banks Street is lined with exotic trees, notably atlas cedars and cherry plums, and is home to a mix of residential forms – from the original weatherboard, monocrete and brick dwellings that dominate Yarralumla’s central‑west area to the 1950s medium‑density Minimbah Court block at its corner with Schlich Street, an early example of Canberra’s unit housing. The street also hosts historic Commonwealth heritage sites, the former Australian Forestry School and the adjoining Westridge House, set within well‑preserved grounds.

While no major through‑roads run directly along Banks Street, it is easily reached via the surrounding arterial routes – Adelaide Avenue, Commonwealth Avenue and Novar Street – and is served nearby by ACTION’s Route 57 bus on Novar and Hopetoun Circuit. Residents enjoy walking distance to the Yarralumla shopping centre at Novar & Bentham, the waterfront parks of Weston and Stirling, and the recreational hub of Yarralumla Bay.
