Rivett dates from the late sixties, when Weston Creek's first suburbs were developed, and is named after Sir David Rivett, a chemist who led the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research for nearly two decades. Its streets take the names of Australian flora. The shops at Rivett Place, off Bangalay Crescent, include a supermarket and a newsagency, and playing fields lie across from them on the western side. Parkland paths wind through the suburb between several neighbourhood parks, Cooleman Ridge Nature Reserve is close by, and the R7 rapid and routes 63 and 64 serve Rivett.

Rivett is mainly separate houses, with townhouses and semi-detached homes making up nearly all the rest, and three-bedroom homes are the most common in the census. Because the suburb got its start so early, a house here can be over half a century old. Wiring, plumbing, heating and windows are worth checking before a tenancy begins and then planning for over time. A townhouse in a complex shares outside upkeep through its owners corporation, which keeps the owner's list shorter.

Renters value the parkland paths and playing fields, the supermarket at Rivett Place, and the R7 rapid service from Weston Creek to the City.

Most of the homes we have leased in Rivett are houses.
