There are two foot bridges over the railway line (from north to south):

• from Honour Avenue to Halsbury Street just north of the Chelmer railway station ({{coord|-27.5113|152.9728|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|name=Honour Avenue to Halbury Street foot bridge}})
• from Honour Avenue near Richmond Street to Appel Street, south of the railway station ({{coord|-27.5177|152.9745|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|name=Honour Avenue to Appel Street foot bridge}})

The suburb takes its name from the Chelmer railway station, which was named in 1881 probably after the Chelmer River in Essex, England. The station was previously known as Oxley Point and Riverton.

Chelmer, along with its neighbors to the south was originally known as Boyland's Pocket after Thomas Boyland who leased the area for cattle and sheep grazing

The first railway station opened north of the current Chelmer railway station in 1876 as Oxley's Point railway station. In 1888, the station was renamed Riverton.{{Cite QPN|6975|Chelmer|railway station|access-date=31 March 2017}} A siding was built at the current station location in 1881, which was later converted into the current Chelmer railway station in 1889 with Riverton closing that same year.{{Cite web|title=Chelmer|url=https://queenslandplaces.com.au/chelmer|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-08|website=Queensland Places|publisher=University of Queensland|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100503055823/http://queenslandplaces.com.au:80/chelmer |archive-date=3 May 2010 }}

Laurel Avenue was voted Brisbane's Best Street in 1999, for the reason that large portions of the avenue are overhung by large camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) trees (some over a hundred years old). The Camphor Laurel trees have been declared a noxious weed by the Brisbane City Council, as their roots actively seek underground sewage pipes.

Chelmer is divided into east and west by Queensland Rail City network's Ipswich and Rosewood railway line and the Chelmer railway station. The Albert Bridge and the Indooroopilly Railway Bridge join the railway to Indooroopilly. A pedestrian/bicycle bridge, alongside the road and rail bridges, also links Chelmer (on the Southern bank of the Brisbane River) to Indooroopilly.
