One of the area’s earliest landholders, the Honourable John McDougall, purchased a substantial parcel of land here in 1860, less than a year after Queensland separated from New South Wales to become its own colony. As the area developed in the late 1800s, grand colonial properties lined the street, hosting elegant banquets and garden gatherings, with tennis courts and croquet lawns once the norm. Stately laurel trees were planted around 1893 and in 1896, the avenue formed part of Brisbane’s first nine-hole golf course, The Brisbane Golf Club, further cementing its place in the city’s early social history.
Today Laurel Avenue is widely regarded as one of Chelmer’s historically significant addresses, many homes showcasing Brisbane’s traditional Queenslander architecture. This residence is conveniently positioned close to Chelmer Railway Station and respected local schools including Graceville State School, Indooroopilly State High School and St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School. Honour Avenue’s vibrant café precinct is moments away and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre is just 2km from your door.
