Barkly Street forms part of Ararat’s historic grid, running west‑west along the Ararat‑Pomonal Road and linking the Western Highway to the surrounding countryside. The streetscape is dominated by heritage bluestone and brick civic buildings from the 1850s–1860s – the Sub‑Treasury & Assay Office (1858), the Telegraph & Post Office (1861) and the two‑tone brick Court House – giving the avenue a distinctly gold‑rush era character. These structures sit on the former Police Camp block bounded by Barkly, Ligar, High and Ingor Streets, and the street is flanked by the town’s typical 19th‑century residential fabric.

The thoroughfare benefits from strong transport links: it sits at the junction of the Western Highway, the Pyrenees Highway (via Vincent Street) and the Mortlake‑Ararat Road, while Ararat Transit’s three bus routes and the nearby V/Line rail station provide public‑transport options. Amenities include a police station, magistrates and children’s courts on Barkly Street, and the Hopkins Correctional Centre lies just 1.8 km away; the scenic Rhymney Hill rises 2.5 km to the south‑west, adding a natural landmark within easy reach.
