Sir Fred Schonell Drive is one of St Lucia’s three main thoroughfares that sweep from the residential heart of the riverside suburb toward the University of Queensland campus. Along the drive the streetscape shifts from medium‑ and high‑density blocks, including river‑front high‑rise apartments, to the low‑density, family‑occupied homes that characterize the hilly centre, and it even frames the heritage-listed Vida and Jayne Lahey’s House at 99 Sir Fred Schonell Drive.

The road is well served by public transport, with several bus routes terminating at the University bus station, a NightLink service on weekends, and the Eleanor Schonell Bridge providing dedicated bus, pedestrian and bicycle access to Dutton Park; CityCat ferries also stop nearby at Guyatt Park. Residents enjoy a compact shopping strip on Hawken Drive with an IGA, international eateries, a medical centre and post office, while parks, the St Lucia Golf Links and a cluster of university colleges, including Emmanuel College, International House and Union College, lie within a kilometre of the drive.
