When Alfred Chandler died in 1935, Gilbert won the subsequent by-election and took his place as the United Australia Party representative for Southern Province in the Victorian Legislative Council.

In 1935, Chandler also joined the Fern Tree Gully Shire Council, and served as its president in 1938 and 1939.

An agricultural college called the Gilbert Chandler Institute of Dairy Technology at Werribee was named after him.
