Profile

Oxley is 11 km south west of Brisbane and is a suburb that has not experienced the wave of rejuvenation that some of the older suburbs have in recent years. Given its proximity to the city and good transport infrastructure, it is likely that Oxley will grow substantially in the next few years.

Oxley also benefits from its closeness to the prestigious Chelmer/Graceville/Corinda/Sherwood suburbs, all of which have progressively experienced substantial increases in median house prices over the years, especially because of their location on the Brisbane River.

Oxley benefits from being conveniently located in close driving distance to the Indooroopilly Shoppingtown and the Queensland University.

With its own railway station central to the suburb, Oxley’s residents have easy access to all of greater Brisbane.

Like its neighbour, Corinda, Oxley is a leafy quiet residential area with part of the suburb located alongside the Brisbane River. One of the city’s older suburbs, Oxley still has some old Queenslanders and post-war homes, which present many opportunities for renovation.

Part of the suburb was redeveloped in the 1970s and 1980s and this side of the suburb (east of Oxley Road) has not experienced the same growth as the areas around the railway station and those bordering nearby Corinda.

There is a thriving small business and commercial centre on one side of the railway line. Residents also have good access to the retail sectors of nearby Corinda and Sherwood.

Being close to the Ipswich Road gives it good access to the Logan Motorway and hence the Gold Coast is quite accessible.

There are many big retailers nearby such as Bunnings, Harvey Norman Superstore and others located in the semi-industrial areas nearby.

According to the 2006 Census there were 6,376 people living in the suburb with a median age of 36. The median individual income was $512 per week. Of all occupied private dwellings 68.7% were either fully owned or being purchased; 24.8% were being rented.
