Graceville Suburb Profile

Graceville sits in Brisbane's riverside western suburbs, wrapped by the Brisbane River between Chelmer and Sherwood, an area known for its leafy streets, character homes and established neighbourhoods. Traditionally, this area forms part of the lands of the Jagera (Yuggera) people, whose country spans across Brisbane's south-west, Ipswich and the Lockyer Valley. About 10 km by road from the city, Graceville offers a village feel with the CBD close at hand. It's a neighbourhood centred on its railway station, with streets of Queenslanders and established family homes, and Oxley Road, Graceville Avenue and Honour Avenue as its main roads. The suburb attracts a mix of families, professionals and long-term locals who enjoy its community spirit. Graceville State School and Christ the King School serve younger students, while Graceville Memorial Park, home to local cricket and rugby clubs, and Faulkner Park provide room to play. Shopping is handled by Graceville Riverside Village on Graceville Avenue and the Fiveways precinct. Graceville train station on the Ipswich and Springfield lines makes the city commute straightforward, and Translink buses 104, 105, 106 and 127 and the Great Circle Line also serve the suburb. Residents enjoy a close-knit, village-style lifestyle with the river never far away.
