Commentary One of Brisbane's most charming riverside suburbs, Chelmer boasts an idyllic leafy atmosphere and Brisbane's 'best' street: Laurel Avenue.

Famous for its restored and often historic Queenslander houses, Chelmer also has many examples of restored and renovated post-war workers cottages.

As its name implies, Laurel Avenue (and many other streets in Chelmer) is home to magnificent camphor laurel trees.

Chelmer occupies an enviable position on the Brisbane River south of Indooroopilly and is only 7 km from the CBD.

Among its local amenities is a railway station (a journey to the city will take about 15 minutes), as well as being on the BCC bus route with frequent services to nearby Indooroopilly Shoppingtown (two minutes by car).

The commercial element in Chelmer is restricted to a corner store and a hair salon. Chelmer is predominantly a quiet residential suburb relying on its neighbours, Graceville and Indooroopilly, for its shopping and entertainment facilities. There is also a high school, small TAFE campus and two nursing homes.

Chelmer has a high proportion of parkland and sports fields - some reaches of the river are dedicated parks for public convenience. The Sherwood AFL Club is located in Chelmer; the suburb also has a bowls club and a croquet club.

According to the 2001 Census there were 2,560 people living in the suburb with a median age of 38. The median individual income was $702 per week. Of all occupied private dwellings 76.9% were either fully owned or being purchased; 19.2% were being rented.
