About the Suburb

Located on the north side of Brisbane, Chermside is the intended terminus point of Brisbane Transport’s future Northern Busway. Chermside is home to Brisbane’s largest shopping mall which includes a 3 story Myer Store as well as a 16 screen cinema complex.

This suburb has some big things – the enormous Chermside Shopping Centre, the large Prince Charles Hospital, the huge Chermside public library (one of the few open 7 days a week) and the big numbers of apartments and townhouses which are springing up in the area.

Of course, there are single-dwelling homes too, most of which date from the post war era but Chermside has been identified as a regional hub of Brisbane and is the centre for a lot of public transport, employment and other services.

With a population of approximately 7,000 Chermside is seen as the mini-CBD for Brisbane’s north side.
