Download coordinates as: St Lucia is a riverside suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[4] The suburb sits on a peninsula, bounded on the north, east and south by the median in a bend of the Brisbane River.

The flatter area on the northern side is primarily medium to high density residential, including some high-rise apartments on the riverfront.

Initially known as Indooroopilly Pocket, it was briefly called Toowong South before a portion of the area was separated and named as Lang Farm.

This strip includes a local IGA Supermarket, various international restaurants, a medical centre, dentist office, and a post office/news agency.

It offers an inclusive space for students, staff, and the wider University of Queensland community from various faiths.

[42] Although it was closed in 2004 due to its age,[43] the theatre was restored and reopened in July 2024, now offering space for students, staffs, and eventually clubs, societies, and the wider community.

[47] St Lucia Bowls Club, situated at 9 Carr Street near the University of Queensland, was established in 1947.

[48] The club features two bowling greens and offers a variety of men's, women's, and mixed competitions.

After multiple relocations due to floods, it finally settled at 37 Keith Street, St Lucia, in 1976.

[50] The University of Queensland provides public access to its swimming pools, tennis courts, and other amenities, although some facilities require a fee.

[51][52] Every Saturday morning at 7 a.m., the free St Lucia 5 km parkrun takes place near the University of Queensland, opposite the UQ Aquatics Centre on Sir William Macgregor Drive.

There is also a NightLink service, a safety initiative that provides buses with security on board all night on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Eleanor Schonell Bridge, a dedicated bus, pedestrian, and bicycle bridge, connects the University with Dutton Park, and carries buses from the southern suburbs, CBD, and the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital to the UQ Lakes Busway Station on the St Lucia campus.

St Lucia has bicycle routes that utilise the residential streets between the University of Queensland and Toowong.

St Lucia has three major thoroughfares, which all lead to the University of Queensland: Swann Road, Sir Fred Schonell Drive, and The Esplanade.
