Chermside

Postcode: 4032 | Distance to CBD: 10 km

Welcome to Chermside

This suburb has some big things - the enormous Chermside Shopping Centre (which was Australia’s first mall), 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.
