Chandler, Queensland

Download coordinates as: Chandler is an outer south-eastern suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[5] Chandler is a semi-rural suburb consisting largely of bushland and residential properties on acreage, close to the major commercial precincts of Carindale and Capalaba.

Prior to the sale extensive publicity was published in the Brisbane newspapers, calling for "the attention of the investor, capitalist, farmer, merchant, artizan [sic], and mechanic, and is only one hour’s drive from Brisbane, and as it has been decided to run the Cleveland Railway through the Estate, it will be brought within a few minutes' ride of the heart of the city".

[17] In 2009, the Department of Environment and Resource Management sought public comment on the proposal to discontinue Capalaba West as a suburb and to include the area into Chandler.

[19][20][21] This extended Chandler's eastern border to Tingalpa Creek, separating Brisbane from Redland City, and added a small commercial area along Old Cleveland Road to the suburb.

85.2% of people spoke only English at home; the next most popular languages were Italian (2%), Greek (1.5%), Vietnamese (0.9%), Hindi (0.5%), and Dutch (0.4%).

The Brisbane Aquatic Centre, a major venue of the Sleeman Sports Complex , which hosts an Olympic-size swimming pool and a diving platform .
An area of bushland in Chandler, consisting of eucalyptus trees and a small lake, close to the Sleeman Centre .
