Bonython is now a well established inner suburb of Tuggeranong, with mature trees. Improvements continue with bus shelters being erected on various main roads, and improved traffic safety features. The western side of Barr Smith Avenue was, for 20 years, without a footpath but is now mostly connected (the only exception being a small stretch of grassy land between Derrington Crescent and Ebenezer Street, which the ACT Government has apparently prioritised for completion but as of 2017 failed to deliver on). The opening of the Caroline Chisholm Centre in March 2008 at Greenway has heightened the suburb's appeal as a residential location.
